Set of ESP LH-150 Humbuckers

Your pair of ESP LH-150 bridge and neck humbuckers give you a wide range of sonic output to traverse — from well-articulated clean tones to some serious rock-infused distortion. These passive pickups are dark-voiced, but a few tweaks of your tone control will brighten things up when you need that extra high end. A three-way pickup selector switch gives you three pickup combinations to switch between during your set.

Mahogany Set Neck in Thin U Contour

Spanning 22 XJ frets in length is your ESP LTD EC-256FM’s sturdy mahogany neck. This melodious appendage is cut into a comfy thin U contour that fits in your hand like a glove. Each fret offers a nice and tight action, and a smooth rosewood fingerboard plays like butter. The mahogany neck adds a pleasant darkness to your performance, while set-neck construction delivers a serious dose of sustain.

Push/Pull Tone Pot for Coil-Splitting

A nice extra feature on this ESP is its push/pull tone pots. Coil-splitting is a great assist for those times when you want your signal to really cut through the mix — awesome for licks and solos. Using this feature in conjunction with your three-setting pickup selector switch gives you essentially six different pickup settings to play around with.
