I bought this guitar back in 2017 in college for $400 and it was amazing out of the box. I added a JB SH-4 Pickup in the bridge, new pots, and gotoh tuners and this things plays like a $3k guitar now. It's great. Still making mods and it just keeps getting better.

Nice review! It's nice to have all of the info and not have it take forever to get through the details. I've lost track of just how many LTD's I've owned. They are always hands-down the best bang for the buck. Thanks for the deep-dive on these!

I have the cobalt blue I’ve had it for about a year I think it’s an incredible value for the money paid about US$550 ….really solid fit and finish and everything is really really high-quality I’m happy with it so far

[MookieZerang]

Love the review, lovely comparison of clean and dirty tones. Thank you.

I have the white, and it’s amazing. This is definitely worth the money.

The vintage natural really catches my eyes

I have the black cherry one which I think they discontinued awhile back, but the guitar is amazing. The neck is thin which is great if you don't have big hands. It's a whole lotta guitar for the price, highly recommend.

i have the gloss black ec-256 but mine came with active emg gold 81/85 pickups with an 18 volt wiring harness it also came with Gotoh magnum locking tuners the person that had it before me did some major upgrades lol i couldn’t be more happier with it i love my 256
thank you for this video i really enjoyed it seeing all the different colors was awesome

I have a cherry burst 256 and I love it. I put some Alnico 5 magnet humbuckers in it and it is just a great guitar. Ive also slapped a bone nut on mine. Its drawbacks are the fret ends on mine are a bit sharp and around the 20th fret there is a high fret. Aside from that its such a good guitar.

I snagged an almost new in mint condition a year ago off Ebay in Black with Gold Hardware off Ebay $350
Great quality. Just needed to learn to play

Just had a Dean MDX and traded it in for a snow white 256 and man am I happy I did it 😁

For some people, might not find a suitable fretboard oil for the Roasted Jatoba, it's known by some people, I also use it, it's a boiled flaxseed oil, makes it so nice. I highly recommend.

[kamikaze]

I have the satin black, I threw EMG’s into and I love it. My new go to.
