Description
ESP LTD EXL-200 Black Electric Guitar
The EXL-200 delivers a comfortable, fast playing experience with its slim Thin U neck profile and 629mm scale length, making it accessible for players with smaller hands or those seeking reduced finger stretch. This mahogany-bodied instrument balances classic Gibson-style aesthetics with modern playability, producing warm, articulate tones suitable for rock, metal, and blues applications.
Playability & Feel
The 3-piece maple set-neck construction provides excellent sustain and resonance, while the rosewood fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets and 350mm (13.78") radius accommodates both aggressive bending and precise technical work. The 42mm nut width and white dot inlays offer reliable reference points and comfortable grip positioning across the neck—all essential for night-after-night gigging without fatigue.
Tone & Live Reliability
Two ESP LH-301 passive humbuckers deliver full-bodied, articulate output with natural sustain and minimal noise—ideal for both clean and high-gain applications on stage. The TOM-style bridge with tailpiece and black hardware contribute to focused midrange response and stable tuning retention across extended playing sessions, keeping you locked in through full sets and multiple gigs.
