LTD -256 SATIN BLACK AMAZING!!!

By Tony from Arlington on May 18, 2019 Music Background: Hobby

I played and owned quite a few different guitars in the last 18 years I've been playing. This guitar is just amazing. I mean it feels amazing, it looks amazing and it just plays amazing. The part is that it won't break the bank. Also, Guitar Center dropped the ball on my order. I decided to give Sweetwater a chance and their customer service and the way they handle their inventory is beyond what you are paying for. Even after GC tried to offer me a cheaper price on this guitar and free one day shipping, I still decided to stick with Sweetwater. They know how to provide good service and know what the public wants. Good job guys! I'll be buying my next axe from here all over again!

LTD/ESP EC-256 Satin

By Johnny FYG from Alvarado on September 12, 2018 Music Background: Professional Musician (Guitars, DAW)

This goat is simply amazing in every way. The pickups have split coil capabilities and the wide variety of tones that I can coax from this beast is awesome. Sustain for days and the guitar came already set up, ready to play. It was even in tune! lol! Excellent quality. Cost effective and just simply beautiful.

…YES

Very Happy!

By Sweetwater Customer from Plymouth, Ma. on November 20, 2017 Music Background: Beginner

Ordered this guitar, a Marshall Code 50 amp and various accessories. Upon placing the order I received an email from a rep letting me know what was going to happen shipping wise and heard back from them several times all the way through the process.

I received everything in perfect condition and couldn't be happier.

Excellent

By Shane Whaley from North Carolina on October 24, 2017 Music Background: 2 1/2 years playing guitar, 3 years playing bass, 7 years total musical experience.

I just got this in the mail today and I'm more than happy. As soon as I made the order I got a call from a Sweetwater representative letting me know when they'd get a shipment in; I can't say I'm anything less than amazed by Sweetwater's customer service. When I got thw box it was beat up a little (FedEx's fault, but you can choose UPS with no charge if that floats your boat) but luckily everything inside was in perfect condition. When I got it out of the box it was in tune and set up perfectly except for the pickup height, which is a very minor adjustment. The neck is roughly a milimeter thicker than my Jackson's, but with mile-high frets (which feel great to me). The pickups took some getting used to but it's because I'm used to hearing bad pickups in my js22-7. Tuners are good quality and electronics were okay enough, but good for a lower quality instrument. Overall, I would highly recommend this instrument, as it is my new main axe.

Amazing guitar for the money

By Edward Long from PA on August 18, 2021 Music Background: At home guitarist

I bought this guitar to give an LP style guitar a try, and man I am so glad I made this choice. It's has amazing clean tones , especially with the split coil feature.

Great

By Aaron scott from Georgia on June 4, 2018

Love the look and feal,as always sweetwater was great,i gave a 4.5 because my neck pick up was so far down in the body. No problem tho just busted out a small pillips head and raised it. The guitar is awsome sounds great even on a little g20c crate amp. Qc could have caught that pickup,but the quality other then that seams good.
