best value for money
Anonymous 22.12.2015
this guitar is amazing! I was interested on changing pickups and tuners but it is not necessary! All works fine and the stock esp pickups are very warm with some aggressive mids..Looks pretty enough with a nice work at the creamy binding! I would recommend this particular model for value for money satisafction and a guitar that does not get you unhappy with any style of music!

Great Choice!
D_Kariotis 09.05.2019
This instrument is one of the best choices in this range of money. It has great construction quality and a stunning sound. It is also a very versatile guitar due to the coil split feature, which means it is a good choice for almost any kind of music.
Moreover, I would like to thank Thomann for the whole transaction process. I was informed about every step of the items' delivery, I bought it at the lowest price in the european market and it was delivered to me without the tiniest scratch. I would definitely buy from Thomann again!

soulicious 18.02.2022
I did a lot of research before buying this guitar but oh boy am I satisfied , This guitar is lightweight , which makes it realy nice to use and sound like heaven. What makes it absolutly perfect is the price. It's not a cheap guitar but certainly not expensive for the quality you get

I could not be more pleased with this guitar! It is an amazing instrument!! Excellent quality and build! It feels like a very expensive guitar, it looks astonishing and it feels great! The sound is very satisfying as well but could be upgraded if you 're in pursuit of a flawless perfect professional sound! I would have bought this guitar again even for twice its price!

Great all purpose guitar
TVMich 15.10.2019
Bought this beauty a month ago to be my 2nd guitar to play less aggressive style music and clean sounds. My first guitar (Ibaneze RGIB6-BK with active EMG pickups) was not suitable for this. And believe it or not this Les Paul can produce clean and dirty sounds and everything even with passive pick-ups OMG :). My black aggressive baritone sits unused for a month already.

Pros:
- Beautiful clean channel sound with coil-split knob pulled out
wide range growl in bridge humbucker mode with long enough sustain (can I describe it wet? but thats different, it is richer compared to dry-ish EMG81 signal)
- decent quality of everything - this is ESP
- price!
Cons:
Just to write here something - the guitar is quite heavy and you will need a strap lock or you drop it some day.
It gone loose 2 times in a month I catched it fortunately.

Such a stunning looking guitar. Top marks for the sound. I hate guitars that have too much weight in them but this guitar is just perfect for me.

A review of the ESP LTD EC-256 BLK electric guitar
aDeadMeme 14.08.2018
I am really pleased with all the things this guitar offers, such as versatility, excellent sound and good quality.

The guitar came in good packaging and didn't have any factory mistakes. Using the tuners, volume and tone knobs feels good and sturdy. The cable-jack is a bit loose, but it isn't a big issue. I think the guitar strings are 10s, they give off a nice tone.

The finish I think is beautiful, the gold hardware gives it a more vintage vibe and the black paint is good too. The paintjob is a magnet for fingerprints and dust tho. This is a minor thing, not to worry about.

This guitar has LH-150 pickups wich in my opinion sound excellent and warm. Using the coil tap feature you can get more clearer tones. This makes it a very versatile guitar.

Like I said earlier, this is the perfect guitar for me, I haven't had any problems with it. I recommend it, it is the most bang for your buck guitar you can get.

Very good Les Paul
Love this guitar 10.02.2018
I own this guitar for one month and I'm really satisfied with it.
Before owning this guitar, I played a Fender Squier Strat and I feel a noticeable improvement of my guitar playing since I've switched to this guitar. I use this instrument mostly for playing classic rock (AC/DC, Guns n' Roses etc.) but it satisfies my needs on the field of blues and metal, too.
Pros: good sound, quality hardware, the guitar itself is beautiful
Cons: the guitar is a little bit heavy, but that's normal for a Les Paul.
In summary, I'm very pleased with this instrument, It's a quality instrument, relatively inexpensive. I think it's worth the money.

Well, it is difficult to describe since it's my first guitar. But it looks, sound, and its quality is definitely worth its money.
