ESP LTD HEX-200 Nergal Electric Guitar – Black Satin
The HEX-200 Nergal combines a symmetrical V-shaped mahogany body with a fast, responsive thin U-profile neck that demands precision and rewards aggressive playing. The roasted jatoba fretboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets create an ideal platform for rapid lead work and intricate fingering patterns, while the satin finish offers a refined, non-slip playing surface across all positions. This is a purpose-built instrument for players who require responsiveness, clarity, and sustain in equal measure.
Playability & Feel
The thin U neck contour and 350mm fingerboard radius deliver fast action suitable for lead-intensive playing, while the 25.5" scale and 42mm nut width maintain classic proportions for comfort and control. Mahogany construction ensures each note resonates with definition and sustain, with the bolt-on neck joint providing direct coupling between body and neck for articulate response. Gripping the neck in any position feels effortless—the satin finish won't slow your hand movement through bar chords or rapid position shifts on stage.
Tone & Electronics
The ESP LH-301N neck and LH-301B bridge passive pickups deliver thick, articulate tone with clarity in the midrange and satisfying low-end punch. A push-pull volume control enables mid-boost pickup splitting, expanding tonal range from heavy drop-tuned riffs to darker alternative textures, while the master volume toggle switch provides straightforward control without unnecessary complexity. Live reliability is built in—passive electronics mean no battery concerns and direct signal path to your amp.
