Should you buy the LTD EC-10 over the EC-256 for a beginner guitar? 

Excellent Video! Very informative in a number of ways. Thanks 👍

great review - all reviews should be like this - ! thanks

9:45 that hole is probably from drilling the wire chanel from neck cavity to bridge cavity. 11:43 those holes are to hang the tailpiece in the chrom galvanic bath, so the visible and functional rest of the piece is completely covered in chrome.😊 The EC-256 sounds way better to my taste. More melodic and with definition.

really detailed video - thanks a lot :-)

I'm laughing cuz it's 2022 and I play with a boss katana mk1 100 + a ltd by esp ec10 and I love how they sound together. Very educational video! I'd enjoy it.

Good review and humor XD

Доста полезно! :) Би ми се искало сега да съм на 15 и да започвам....и да има тези видеа. :-)))

I love my EC-256 and it's pickups compared to the other guitar. The EC-10 it's good if you just a Metalhead Shredder but the 256 is more versatile.

i had a 256 for a few days with some bad fret issues and a cobalt blue finish that looks more like seafoam green. returned it for a 401. aside from the issues though i didnt feel like the guitar was worth 600 dollars and i would have been better off with the ec-10. i ended up going with a 401 that was on sale and am happy with it, korean made and emg pickups.

Взех си output jack от магазина и без помощта ви, не мисля че щях да успея да намеря правилния жак. Успешно го запоих и съм супер доволен. Ревютата са брутални!!!

I just got this guitar. I’m intrigued by your advice of doing proper setup first. Can you give me some pointers how to go about it? Only thing I know is using adjustable rod to adjust string height on the fretboard.

didn't buy one quite yet!. i'm doing some more research. i'm looking for a lower output jazz like tone - and i think i heard that the -256 is matched better for that. i'm not into the high out put crunch stuff which i think the EC-10 is matched better. Really, your video review is incredible precise and very well done.! thank you for the work it takes to do one of these. helps us out a great deal. your advice for beginners is SPOT ON. hopefully the kids will pick up what you left them with- all the best - mike

What do you think about the LTD V-50 with LH-150 pickups? Is it a worthy option in our time?

Ревюто е убийствено добро. В този ред на мисли - целият канал е супер качествен, реших да погледам малко ревюта и съм много приятно изненадан, че намирам толкова професионален канал и то от сънародник :) Един въпрос, понеже с конкретна причина стържа всичките ти ревюта - за един г/д начинаещ, който харесва доста музика, но най-вече метъл, кое би препоръчал измежду LTD EC-10 и EKO VL-480 ?

Бат Герги е неповторим

Wow...100's are much way hotter than 150's. I did not know that. They are both ceramic but the difference is big. I have LTD VIPER FM100, as you said with proper setup, nice wires and good amp, its a winner.

If you're a beginner, I would also suggest to not get one with a floyd rose tremolo. You'll have enough of a headache learning how to play... don't add onto your troubles with all of the possible problems that can come with a floyd rose tremolo. I had a cheap Jackson JS Dinky with a floyd rose and after watching multiple videos on how to troubleshoot why it kept getting out of tune, and how getting one string in tune will get the other strings out of tune, I wasn't in the mood to practice anything after all of that lol. If it's in your budget, get the best quality you can get. Less chance of having issues. Spend more time practicing and playing and less time driving yourself crazy.

I’m currently looking to buy the EC10 but I’m also conflicted between the 256 and the EC10. This video is also helpful, I sort of consider myself a beginner but not really? I have played the acoustic on and off for about 20 years but I don’t really know any songs completely? I learn bits and then learn another song. I can play Under the Bridge, Plug in Baby by Muse. I guess what I’m asking, as someone who isn’t a complete beginner but new to electrics, would I be better getting the 256?

Still have my Ltd Ec10 guitar. It was my first guitar😂

Which do you prefer? This one or Epiphone Special II? (And why? Thanks!)

What do you suggest ec-10 or ec 256 show white?

BEginners - buy a used Fender Mustang LT25 amp - used 70-90$ USD. great versitile amp

I had Line 6 amp since 2013 or 14

My guy walked into a guitar store and played the forbidden riff

I found an ec 256 that costs 320 $ should i buy it ?

Само ако можеше някой да ми каже това с амп-а по-рано... Купих си Blackstar Fly 3 и даже мислeх да си взема и адекватен педал, смятайки, че ще звучи добре. За щастие дойдох при теб и пробвах педалите...

Couldnt find EC10 new anymore in my country

You said one is twice more expensive than the other, I guess you meant one is twice the price of the other, which is not the same.

EC 256 sounds better.

Cheap guitar expensive amp: absolutely Expensive guitar cheap amp: just don’t Cheap guitar cheap amp: are you dumb? Expensive guitar expensive amp: perfect

But 256 sounded better in this vid. So, may be I’ll save some money on lunches and buy it for next 10 years instead of a year or so? Man, your precise review made me confused. ESP LTD seems has a same assembly and hardware quality like Harley Benton but twice more expensive. Omg. What about Ibanez from this perspective?

0:35 ffs just play it correctly xD

ec-10 sounds and looks like a pice of shit, it's not even worth 300 bucks. ec-256 obviously better in every aspect, BUT if you have 600$ - you can buy used ec-1000 (DELUXE), and it will be an investment, nobody is interested in cheap shit, so the EC-10\256 will become cheaper, which cannot be said about the deluxe. I say this as someone who once had an LTD F-50, sold this pice of trash, and bought an EC-1000 vintage black EMG 2012, one year ago. Buying the 10th series of LTD guitars - you pay for the garbage that says LTD. Buying 256 series - you get something like a quality instrument, but still pay a huge sum for the brand. And when you buy guitars of the 1000s series, you buy a really high-quality, professional instrument, on which you can learn to play, record, and go on tours. Such a guitar is a guitar on all your life, it does not have to be new from the store, used guitars are the most rational choice.

Stop using pedals to sell a simple guitar.
