Best Upgrade Parts for Your ESP LTD Guitars! 

I also have an LTD EC256 Which I bought after my Epiphone Les Paul custom I bought this planning to do upgrades and guitar Tech work on this Guitar.

@@jamesmarchetti3286 old thread but update with how it sounds, im considerig doing this to have a backup that can stay in tune

Yeah I couldn't remember if it was the 42mm or 43mm nut for the 256. I'm so tired of my D,G, and B strings binding in the nut. I also put 9's on my guitar to get around the fact that the nut was a little too high. I can't take it anymore lol.

I wish I bought this part way sooner. I only had to sand the bottom edges a little bit to clean them up. No more binding! I didn't need to touch the slots even though they are just a hair high, but it is worlds better. I also didn't expect how well this really cleaned up the tone of the guitar. It sounds so much more articulate.

We do not currently have any lefty / reverse headstock tuner sets “packaged” in 7-string sets, however, a custom order (with 2 #6 tuners) could be made. Please send your request to sales@graphtech.com

Don't get the Tusq XL 6642 nut..I just bought a brand new ESP LTD EC 1001 Tiger Eye..basically the same guitar specs as yours and tried the 6642 on mine yesterday..the string spacing is perfect,but its a little short like lots of others have said,so the 6143-43mm nut will be just right..its tall enough to be lightly sanded on the bottom to get the right height and sand it on the sides to get that down to the 42mm nut size..I wish I would have just ordered the 6143 in the first place but it going to be perfect when I get finished with it..the specs on the 6143 shows the E to E string spacing at 35mm//1.378" which is just a hairs width wider..I took my digital calipers and put them on the fretboard by the nut and its going to be perfect...get the 6143 and do it right the first time !! I did install the Graph Tech Ratio tuners on mine yesterday, and WOW what a huge improvement !!

Serious 6642 not correct?

@@coleroland313 yep man, e to e spacing was fine, overall width was good. It was way to short to be drop in like every other graphtech preslotted but I've bought. I'm mad I got bad advice straight from the company.

@@williamheitl8941 6143 is the way to go..

@@rosskrause3926 Thanks. I bought a 6143 and it worked well. I am still a bit mad about the poor advice in the video, but now that I have it good I can move on. Thanks again.

Unfortunately locking tuners would be redundant as your instrument already has a locking nut. This is precisely why ESP offers the tune-o-matic version of the instrument with locking tuners but Floyd Rose version without. In addition, Graph Tech does not offer any “cosmo black” or “gun metal” finished tuning machines. That said, you could always get our pure black tuners if having 2 different locking mechanisms works for you. Check out the PRL-8341-B0.

Here a link to some videos on finding and installing the right nut, saddles, etc... www.graphtechtorial.com/ or take a few measurements ... length and string spacing (center of the low E slot to the center of the High E slot)... ESP's are pretty standard on the thickness, and contact support@graphtech.com

Hi, We don't have the exact specs for your model... but the PT-6642-00 does work on other models of ESP and Schecter, to be sure, if you can measure the length and thickness and send your questions with those measurements to support@graphtech.com they can get you the model...

@@realtusq Thanks, I measured it, seems to be 99% on point.... we'll try it & go from there..

Molly had the appropriate response

What do we useif the6642 is to short?

You really gotta lay off the K2 spice, man. Shit is bad for you.

Well, there is also pure TUSQ, which is also made from 100% organic polymers , and contains no petroleum or animal products or ptfe ...
