What we say:

At A Glance:

The ESP LTD EC-258 Black Satin 8 String gives you the classic ESP Eclipse shape in an affordable 8 string model. The demand for great sounding guitars with lower tunings and extended range riffing possibilities has grown exponentially in recent years and the LTD EC-258 firmly ticks that box with its excellent value and reliable features. Not only does it have a dependable construction that can go the distance on the road, but it feels great to play and benefits from iconic ESP aesthetics.

Features We Love:

Extended Range

Being an 8 string with an extended range, this ESP LTD EC-258 has a scale length of 26.5". This gives it the appropriate amount of tension required for the lower tuning that goes all the way down to F#.

ESP Designed Pickups

Making sure you get the most out of this 8 string axe, the ESP Designed LH-308 set of pickups capture the full tonal range of the guitar with excellent levels of sonic detail.

Slim, Fast Neck Profile

The Eclipse's Thin U shaped neck is slender, but not so thin that it feels like there's no support. Somewhat a classic feature to ESP guitars, it will satisfy both the guitarist new to the brand or someone who is well accustomed to the sleek neck shape. It is appreciated even more here with it being an 8 string model, making it very comfortable even with the extra bit of width.

Highlights:

  • 8 string version of a classic ESP design
  • Excellent for modern Metal and heavier styles of music
  • Easily good enough to tour with
