Description
Sound & Tone
The pair of ESP LH-150 humbuckers gives this M-200DX a thick, focused output with the tight low end and cutting bridge attack that suit hard rock, metal, and high-gain lead work, while the TOM bridge with string-thru body adds sustain and note clarity under distortion. Pulling the push-pull tone control splits the pickups to single-coil voicings, thinning things out for cleaner rhythm parts, funk-adjacent chord work, and brighter arpeggios without changing amps. The poplar body with poplar burl top, roasted maple neck, and 25.5" scale keep the response snappy and articulate, and the 24 XJ frets with a flatter 350mm radius favor fast runs and bends high on the neck.
ESP LTD M-200DX Electric Guitar Blue Burst B-Stock
The M-200DX delivers a lightweight, comfortable playing experience with its thin U-contoured neck and 25.5" scale length, making it equally suited for extended sessions and quick passages. The Blue Burst finish combined with full body binding and reverse inline headstock gives this guitar a refined aesthetic that doesn't compromise on playability or hardware quality. This is a solid workhorse instrument that balances affordability with genuine construction standards.
Playability & Feel
The roasted maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and thin U contour provide a fast, comfortable feel with excellent stability and minimal moisture sensitivity. A 43mm molded nut width and 350mm fingerboard radius support both lead work and chord playing, while the 24 XJ frets offer plenty of upper-fret access without sacrificing lower-fret comfort. On stage or in the rehearsal space, the neck's stability means you can rely on consistent intonation night after night, and the roasted maple resists the humidity swings of touring venues.
Tone & Electronics
Two ESP LH-150 humbucking pickups with black chrome covers deliver classic humbucker clarity with the option to voice single-coil tones via a push-pull switch on the tone knob, expanding sonic range without adding complexity. The TOM bridge with string-thru design ensures solid sustain and reliable intonation for live performances, while the straightforward volume/tone/3-way switch layout keeps operations intuitive when you need to dial in fast changes between songs.

As a B-Stock instrument it carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish — a small finish mark with no effect on playability, tone or structure — which is why it sells for less than a first-quality unit. The exact blemish varies from unit to unit, so it is not described or pictured here; photos show the model, not the individual unit. It is new, unplayed and covered by the full manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is B-Stock and how does it affect the guitar?
B-Stock means the guitar is new and unplayed with full manufacturer warranty, but carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish—such as a small finish mark—that has no effect on playability, tone, or structure. The exact blemish varies unit to unit and is not pictured separately; photos show the standard model.
Can I get single-coil tone from the humbuckers?
Yes. The tone knob includes a push-pull switch that voices the ESP LH-150 humbuckers in single-coil mode, letting you dial in brighter, thinner tones alongside the standard humbucker clarity without adding extra controls.
Is the thin U-neck comfortable for extended playing?
Yes. The roasted maple thin U-contour neck with 43mm nut width and 350mm fingerboard radius is designed for both fast lead work and chord playing over long sessions, with excellent stability and minimal moisture sensitivity.
What genres does this guitar work best for?
The M-200DX excels in rock, metal, and hard rock, and is also capable in studio sessions and gigging. It is not optimized for jazz, folk, or country styles.
How does the bridge design affect sustain and tuning stability?
The TOM-style bridge with string-thru design locks strings at the body for solid sustain and reliable intonation across performance and studio use.
