6-7-8

These are in at Davis GMC, the satin finished LTD EC 200 series. This six string version is the EC-256, no nonsense player sporting a Les Paul scale length of 24.75" & a thin U-profile neck. 'Thin' here is not 'skinny' so if you are after an Ibanez type of Super Wizard thin, then it's not in that likeness. It's still thin for fast playing episodes, definitely; one of the most comfortable I must say.

And here we have the 7-string version (EC-257), everything stays the same less the scale length - 25.5"

Finally, the 8-string version (EC-258) & the scale length goes up a little bit to 26.5" - note the covered pickups. These are still passive humbuckers just given those covers, they look flushed against the satin body finish. All versions feature a roasted jatoba fingerboard & push-pull coil split options (tone control). The 200 series are fundamentally well-made instruments with affordability in mind.

Availability: Davis GMC
Price: EC-256 ($690) / EC-257 ($780) / EC-258 ($880)
