Thank you so much for this. I get so tired of people giving "reviews" that only tell me what I can read myself on the manufacturer's product page. I want sounds, damnit! And a player's opinions.
That has amazing sustain. Thanks, again!

I appreciate that you're showing everything, ive been searching through so many reviews and almost no one is willing to explain how they're plugged in, nor will they do a straight to tone demo.

top quality review and great, great tones!
Take note YouTube, this is a how a review should be done - maximum information, minimal waffle and no reading from the maker's website

I picked up a beautiful purple burst EC256 recently. This is a really nice guitar for the money, ESP is doing it right for the consumer!

[schubertdsouza]

The most thorough guitar demo I have ever seen and heard. Thanks a lot.

I bought a 256 along time ago to see how the LTD(ESP) guitars are.I now own that and 2 ESP guitars and sometimes I'll still play the LTD even though I have 2 of its big brothers.I love mine.

Thai May be the best electric guitar review I have ever seen. I know exactly what to expect from this guitar, and as a bonus he shows which amp and tones he is using. Thank you.

I could listen to this 18 and Life riff all day...

[kennyleejohnson]

I normally don’t like the middle position but this one is killer sounding. I’m really digging all the sounds of this guitar.

[thorpenator]

Love mine. Installed locking tuners and Pearly Gate. Plus they can be snatched up for around 350 used.
Great neck profile.

[danieljames]

Very nice playing
I own a black ec 256 LTD and I love it! Very versatile guitar for the money. Thank you for the review

my dad out of nowhere ordered this for me :') watching reviews and waiting for it to get here

[metalcrypt]

I had the same urge to play GnR when I got my EC-256 too! Great demo

[artamussumatra]

Great demo, nicely played! I have this Guitar in cherry burst, the finish is gorgeous. I love the flawless build quality, and great pickups/electronics, I see no need for any mods.

Bro i never seen soo detailed guitar review thx 4 great work man

[projectrandom]

I have this in black cherry and it plays excellent.
Definitely a better value than most for the $500-$600 price point.

[edub]

Idk if it’s the amp or the guitar but those clean tones are amazing!

Admit it: you sang "rickie was a yooouuung boy, he had a heart of stone" in the midddle of the video!

[paulh]

Saw all the positive stuff on the 256 and was about to push the button, then dug a little deeper and found all the apparent negative stuff about them and got turned off. Now I'v come back and watched your video again and I'm right back to pushing that button again 😎✌ Now just have to decide on the Cobalt blue, or black with gold hardware...😎 Cheers M8 Great vid 👍

Great video and playing! I see a lot of value for the money in that guitar. I think it sounded really good stock.
