With set-neck construction and a flamed maple top over mahogany, EC-256FM electric guitar sings with woody, resonant tone and aggressive output. Its slim U-shaped neck and 22 extra-jumbo frets make shredding a breeze. The EC-256FM comes loaded with dual ESP humbucking pickups that produce tight lows, rich mids and searing highs. A push-pull tone knob enables coil-splitting for single-coil tones, expanding your tonal palette.

Set-Neck Construction Provides Exceptional Sustain

The EC-256FM's set neck joins the body and neck for optimal tone transfer and sustain. Its solid mahogany construction resonates with woody warmth while the maple top adds articulation. The 24.75" scale length provides taut, balanced tension for chords and leads. A tune-o-matic bridge and die-cast tuners offer rock-solid intonation and tuning stability.

Dual ESP Humbuckers Deliver Versatile Tone

The EC-256FM wields a pair of ESP Designed LH-150 humbucking pickups that produce tight lows, rich mids and blistering highs. Roll back the tone for a warmer, vintage-inspired sound or crank it for modern grit. A 3-way toggle lets you access neck, bridge or both pickups. The push-pull tone knob enables coil-splitting to tap bright single-coil tones from the humbuckers—ideal for genres from rock and metal to blues and country.

Fast, Low-Profile Neck Built for Speed

The EC-256FM's slim U-shaped neck and flat 12" radius rosewood fingerboard facilitate fast, effortless playing. Its profile is slightly thinner than a typical Les Paul for maximum comfort. The 22 extra-jumbo frets extend well into the cutaway for uninhibited access to the upper registers. Whether you prefer chunky barre chords, intricate solos or both, the EC-256FM neck is built for speed.

A High-Performance Electric at an Affordable Price

With premium features like set-neck construction, coil-splitting humbuckers and a flamed maple top, the EC-256FM outperforms its price point. This sleek rocker has the tone and playability of a high-end custom shop guitar at a working musician's budget. The EC-256FM brings you the quality and dependability of ESP at an incredible value.
