Description
Sound & Tone
With a lightweight basswood body, bolt-on maple neck, and roasted jatoba fingerboard, the GH-200 produces a bright, articulate midrange and a tight low end that keeps fast riffs and individual notes clearly separated under heavy distortion. The high-output ESP LH-301 pickups are voiced for metal, holding definition through high gain while still responding to dynamic picking. The 24.75" scale, flat 350 mm radius, and extra-jumbo frets suit quick rhythm chugging and lead runs, and the Floyd Rose Special opens up wide dive-bomb and pull-up effects for aggressive soloing.
ESP LTD GH-200EC/BLK Guitar
The GH-200EC/BLK is a fast, aggressive instrument built for high-gain metal work. The thin U-shaped maple neck and roasted jatoba fingerboard with extra-jumbo frets deliver comfortable access across all registers, while the lightweight basswood body and Floyd Rose Special bridge keep the guitar responsive and balanced during intense playing sessions. Black finish with red binding creates a distinctly professional appearance on stage or in the studio.
Playability & Feel
The thin U-shaped maple neck sits naturally in the hand with a fast, modern profile that favors speed and lateral fluidity across the fretboard. The roasted jatoba fingerboard and 22 extra-jumbo frets support aggressive picking and fast position changes without fatigue, while a 350 mm fingerboard radius offers the flatness modern metal players expect for both lead runs and hard-hitting rhythm. At 628 mm (24.75") scale length with a 42 mm nut width, string spacing feels controlled and familiar, and the Floyd Rose Special bridge locks in tuning solid enough for heavy drop-tuning and dynamic dive/pull effects that hold up through a full set.
Tone & Electronics
The ESP LH-301 pickup set with red covers is voiced for the high-output punch metal demands—thick sustain, aggressive transients, and clarity that cuts through distortion without muddiness. Mounted in the bolt-on basswood body, they deliver a bright, articulate midrange and tight low-end that keeps fast riffing locked in and single notes sharp and defined, no matter how much gain you're running.
