10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 50 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 50 days to 180 days (terms apply after 50 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Tone for any style

All-encompassing tonal range. This is the essence of creating an impressive, beautifully rich sound in any style. The EC-256FM features an expertly chosen combination of tonewoods to deliver the perfect balance of tone. No matter the genre you're playing, you'll sound amazing.

A solid mahogany body creates soft, warm resonance with incredible depth. This is balanced with grind and bite to ensure you can play anything from gentle, delicate tunes to bigger, heavier songs. The three-piece mahogany neck applies even more warmth to your sound, allowing you to achieve a gorgeously thick, mellow sound when needed. Meanwhile, you'll enjoy sharp, bright, crisp highs thanks to the roasted jatoba fingerboard. This will help your lead playing cut above any mix and sparkle with definition. Supremely versatile.

Perfect electric sound

Electronics to enhance your sound. The ESP EC-256FM features a fantastic pair of ESP-Designed humbucking pickups to maximise clarity and power. The LH-150N neck pickup offers superb, open tone. This will ideally suit energetic rhythm playing and ensure dynamism with every chord you play. The LH-150B bridge pickup adds bright harmonics, creating a gorgeously rich overall soundscape. This is delivered with crystal-clear clarity. The humbuckers minimise sound interference to give you sharp, defined tones that sound exactly as you intended them to.

Accessible and comfortable to play

Extremely playable. At the top of the list when it comes to the vital features of any instrument is playability. No one wants a guitar that they find clunky and difficult to operate. The EC-256FM is the exact opposite of this. You'll want to play it all night long. An ultra-comfortable "U"-shaped profile allows your hand to sit perfectly at any position along the neck. Hand cramp will become a thing of the past. Furthermore, you'll hit every note easily thanks to an accessible set-neck construction. This gives you unobstructed access to the top frets, allowing you to play at the very highest pitches with simplicity. The ultimate playing experience.

Extremely stylish

A truly beautiful guitar. ESP have put time and effort into making the EC-256FM a gorgeous specimen to behold. A flamed maple top brings elegance and style. The wood's natural pattern blends perfectly with any finish you apply to it. Your guitar will shine and sparkle on stage with unparalleled majesty. Stand out from the crowd.

Hard rock heritage

ESP Guitars are legends of the rock music world. Established in Tokyo, Japan in 1975, ESP (Electric Sound Products) initially manufactured high-quality replacement parts for guitars already on the market. These replacements became extremely popular with rock guitarists, as many users noticed that the new parts, when added to their existing guitars, afforded their instruments extra power and aggression.

Noticing their new-found popularity, ESP capitalised and decided to use their expertise to begin crafting guitars of their own. Early models were used in the music of KISS and The Rolling Stones. As years passed, ESP's guitars became increasingly popular within metal and hard rock genres. Metallica, Megadeath, Slayer, Judas Priest, and Guns N' Roses have all used the immense sound of ESPs in their music. Quality, hard rock sound favoured by the very best in the business.
