ESP EC-256QM Electric Guitar (See Thru Black Cherry Sunburst)

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 colored in by the rich character of mahogany and quilted maple. This EC-256's quilted maple top further enhances mahogany's rich depth with snappy articulation and a touch of bright character. The EC-256’s roasted jatoba fingerboard delivers speedy comfort similar to the fast, energizing presence of rosewood. 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. What’s more, the EC-256 has a slightly arched top, a premium design perk that keeps hand positioning comfortable, no matter your picking style.

This set-neck makes a difference!

The set-in mahogany neck on the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256 provides a more resonant connection to the body than any bolt-on neck design. With a neck joint that’s virtually seamless, the EC-256 howls with fast attack and long-lasting sustain — perfect pairings for articulate leads, massive power chords, and more. Plug in the Eclipse EC-256, turn your amplifier up, and you’ll see exactly what we mean. Lastly, the EC-256’s neck boasts an ultra-rugged multi-piece mahogany design. A favorite neck design among the pros, the EC-256’s neck design offers enhanced stability that’s of vital importance when travelling between gigs and rehearsals.
