Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set-neck construction give this single-cutaway a thick, resonant midrange with long sustain, and the lone ESP LH-150B bridge humbucker pushes that into warm, punchy territory with clear note definition. Pulling the push-pull volume splits the coil for a thinner, snappier single-coil voice, covering cleaner rhythm parts and bite without a pickup change. With 24 extra-jumbo frets on a roasted jatoba board and a thin U neck, it favors lead-oriented rock and metal playing while still handling blues phrasing and alternative rhythm work.
ESP LTD EC-201 Lefty Electric Guitar Black Satin B-Stock
The EC-201 Lefty combines a comfortable thin U-contour neck with a responsive mahogany body and set-neck construction that delivers solid sustain and reliable performance night after night. The satin black finish with binding details maintains a professional look while standing up to regular gigging. This left-handed single-cutaway handles rock, metal, blues, and alternative material with the responsiveness serious players demand.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece mahogany neck features a thin U contour and roasted jatoba fingerboard with black binding, paired with 24 extra-jumbo frets that make fast position shifts and lead passages feel natural and effortless. The set-neck construction locks the neck to the body for rock-solid sustain and note definition you can rely on during live performance.
Tone & Electronics
A single ESP LH-150B humbucking pickup with antique nickel cover delivers articulate, punchy tone with plenty of sustain and cut. The passive circuit includes a push-pull volume knob with coil-splitting function, letting you dial in everything from thick humbucker heaviness to snappy single-coil character without reaching for another guitar.
