ESP LTD EC-201FT Lefty Guitar See Thru Black Cherry
Description
ESP LTD EC-201FT Lefty Guitar – See Thru Black Cherry
This ESP LTD EC-201FT lefty sits naturally in your hands with a comfortable, contoured body and thin U-shape neck that flows through chord shapes and fast position transitions without resistance. Built from solid mahogany with a set-through construction, the guitar breathes warm, resonant tones with excellent sustain and midrange presence—equally capable of bluesy expression, heavy rock articulation, or articulate jazz voicings. The striking See Thru Black Cherry finish reveals the wood grain beneath while the solid hardware and purposeful pickup design ensure night-to-night reliability on any stage.
Playability & Feel
The thin U-shape neck contour combined with a 24.75" scale and 350mm fingerboard radius creates an inviting platform for both open-position work and extended range exploration. A 3-piece mahogany neck with roasted jatoba fingerboard resists humidity shifts while the 22 extra-jumbo frets with black binding and pearloid block inlays support precise articulation and clean bends across the entire range.
Tone & Electronics
The single ESP LH-150B humbucking pickup in the bridge position delivers thick, woody output with strong sustain characteristic of mahogany construction. The master volume control with push/pull coil-split functionality expands tonal range from full humbucker warmth to single-coil clarity without requiring additional switching.
