Great for learning
Bought this 5 months ago to use next to my ESP FX Standard for daily practice.
It arrived playable, action was set fairly high but no problem to adjust to lower action. The finish was not prefect, there was some poly finish on the fretboard just passed the binding but this was easily fixed with some high grid sandpaper. Other than that the finish was fine.
Obviously it is not at the same level as my ESP FX Standard as it is less then a 4th of the price but so far i have almost only used the EC-256 in the past 5 months, which says alot. I love the feel of it, i like the sound of the pickups and it looks great. It has left me wanting another EC or Les Paul shaped guitar.
I would seriously recommend this as a first guitar.

Not perfect but great for the price.
Mine should have been a B-stock... The finish is not perfect, with a slight black streak under the transparent top layer. A few black specs here and there too. You only see it under certain light angles, but it's there. Setup was not great, but easy to fix. I almost sent it back but in the end decided to keep it. It is a good guitar, I just wish quality control and inspection by Thomann had been a bit better. Maybe I'm nit-picking, it's not a 1500Euro instrument, but getting something great with a slight blemish is always a bummer.
