Community Reviews

These ESP LTD deals stand out for giving new, higher-end guitars at prices that rival used gear, especially the EC-256 and EC-1000 models. The EC-256 is framed as a strong entry-level Les Paul style option, while the Vintage Black EC-1000 at $681 is treated as a solid workhorse with a Metallica Black Album vibe. The KH-602 also draws attention as an appealing upgrade, and the line is described as much cheaper than full ESP models while still being quite good. The main caution is that LTD is not the same as a full ESP, and the six-string B-206SM is notably heavy at about 11 pounds. A strong value play if you want an ESP-style guitar without paying full ESP prices.

  • EC-256 models can work well as an entry-level Les Paul-ish option for new players.

  • The Vintage Black EC-1000 is described as a solid workhorse option at its listed price.

  • LTD guitars are described as high quality, with pricing that can rival used prices for a new instrument.

  • EC1000 models are positioned as a Les Paul style alternative for shoppers avoiding Epiphone and Gibson.

    Delirious

  • The KH-602 tiger stripe model can feel disappointing because its neck is described as underwhelming.

  • Starting on a six-string may be a poor fit for beginners, since six strings are more than recommended for starting out.

  • The B-206SM is reported as heavy, with the listed weight around 11 pounds compared with a typical heavy 5-string Jazz Bass.

  • ESP LTD models are described as not equivalent to full ESP models, since full ESP runs are much higher priced.

Interesting to see ESP guitars getting some heavy discounts recently.

Looking to start learning bass guitar. Would the B-206SM be a good starter?
I wouldn't recommend starting on a six string. The standard recommendation is four, but I could see starting on five, too. But six is more strings than I would recommend to start. Also, this particular model seems quite heavy, with the one listed on Sweetwater weighing in at 11 pounds. For comparison, a 5-string Jazz Bass, which is typically considered a heavy instrument, is more like 9 to 10 pounds.

We had one of the largest pops for guitar buying since the Beatles during the Covid era. People were paying premiums for everything. Prices went up, but at this point in time demand has cratered so prices will trend downward.

This deal got me interested and bought the EC-256 and also a Boss Katana 50 Amp from them along with strings , stand etc. Customer support was helpful and added some more coupons and bringing overall price down. Now I hope all this doesnt end up in the corner after a month. Pretty excited for now.

Thank you for the reply!

Is there a particular model you recommend for beginners?

Sorry, just saw this. A Classic Vibe Precision Bass would be a great instrument for a beginner that would be right at home in a pro's hands as well.
