Frequently Asked Questions about ESP LTD EC 256

Question: Why is the EC-256 'Lemon Drop' called that?
This is a slightly cheeky reference to a very famous guitar once owned by Peter Green in the 'British Invasion' days of Blues Rock. This famous guitar was famed to sound better than any other of its type and was revered for it's sound and looks: the Cherry had faded from its Sunburst finish, leaving a pleasing Amber colour nicknamed 'Lemon Drop'. Gary Moore owned it for a while and it now belongs to Metallica's Kirk Hammet, who takes it out on tour despite it's value being unbelievably high. LTD are appealing the Blues Rock market with this EC-256 model by giving it a finish very reminiscent of Peter Green's instrument.

The top of the LTD EC-256 is genuine Flamed Maple!
