Get to know them!

When it’s time for rock-ready tones at a player-friendly price, the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256 aims high and checks every box. The Eclipse EC-256’s single-cut body shape, mahogany build, and 22-fret fingerboard make for a guitar that’s easy to traverse and highly playable. A 3-piece mahogany set neck lets notes ring with enough sustain for arenas while keeping your setup extremely consistent. Moreover, the two LH-150 humbucking pickups provide a plethora of raucous tones for rhythm and lead work, plus the expanded tone options from the push-pull switch. Gear up for empowering playability with the incredible value of the LTD Eclipse EC-256 from Sweetwater.

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. The EC-256’s rosewood fingerboard delivers speedy comfort and an energizing presence. Add a super-sharp cutaway that lets you easily access the 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.

Set-neck construction

The set-in mahogany neck on the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256 provides a more resonant connection to the body than a bolt-on neck design. With a neck joint that’s virtually seamless, the EC-256 howls with fast attack and long-lasting sustain — a perfect pairing 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, it offers enhanced stability that’s vitally important when traveling between gigs and rehearsals.
