Grab the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256 solidbody electric guitar for a huge value in a rock-ready instrument. You'll find the fast playability, flexible tone, and quality construction of the Eclipse EC-256 far surpasses most guitars in this price range. You'll get rich, snappy tone from the mahogany body. And the set-neck design gives you sustain for days. A pair of ESP humbucking pickups onboard the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256 solidbody electric guitar gives you a great foundation for a wide variety of styles, plus the extra versatility of push-pull coil tapping.





Classic looks with modern performance





Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's timeless Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the Eclipse EC-256 truly epic sustain; whereas its slightly arched top provides you with comfortable hand positioning, no matter your picking style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you open access to the EC-256's upper frets, and you're ready for unobstructed playing freedom.

Set-neck construction





The set-in mahogany neck on the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256 provides a more solid connection to the body than you get with a bolt-on neck design. That means better vibrational transfer from the neck to the body, which results in faster attack and longer-lasting sustain. Plug in the Eclipse EC-256, turn your amplifier up, and you'll see exactly what we mean.
