Get to know them!

When rock-ready tones and gig-ready performance are required, the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256 aims high and checks every box. The Eclipse EC-256’s single-cutaway body shape, mahogany build, and 22-fret roasted jatoba fingerboard make for a guitar that’s easy to traverse and highly playable. A 3-piece set mahogany neck lets notes ring with sustain fit 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 of a push-pull switch. Gear up for empowering playability, aggressive sonics, and classic ESP aesthetics with the LTD Eclipse EC-256.

Note: This is a Dent and Scratch model, which means we have inspected the instrument for structural issues, but there could be minor cosmetic flaws present that do not affect playability. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have any questions.

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 epic sustain colored by the rich character of mahogany. 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 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 resonant connection to the body. With a neck joint that’s virtually seamless, the EC-256 howls with a fast attack and singing 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 among Sweetwater's techs and performers alike, multi-piece neck designs offer enhanced stability that’s of vital importance when traveling between gigs and rehearsals.
