ESP LTD GH-200EC/BLK Guitar B-Stock

ESP LTD GH-200EC/BLK Guitar B-Stock

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 pairs with a roasted jatoba fingerboard and 22 extra-jumbo frets to provide quick lateral movement and clear note articulation. A 628 mm scale length and 42 mm nut width establish comfortable string spacing, while the 350 mm fingerboard radius offers a flat playing surface suited to both lead and rhythm work. The Floyd Rose Special bridge enables precise tuning stability and wide dive/pull effects ideal for aggressive playing styles and extended performances without dropping tuning.

Tone & Live Performance

The ESP LH-301 pickup set with red covers delivers the high-output character needed for metal contexts, handling heavy distortion and dynamic picking with clarity and definition on any stage. Routed through a bolt-on basswood body, the electronics produce a bright, articulate midrange and tight low-end response that cuts through a live mix, providing fast riffing and note separation that remains punchy in a full band setting.
