Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with flame maple top and 25.5" maple neck give this M-200FM a punchy, articulate voice with focused midrange and tight highs, and the ESP-designed LH-150 humbuckers push thick, saturated chords while keeping single notes clear in a dense mix. Pulling the push/pull tone control splits the coils for thinner, brighter sounds, adding clean and rhythm options alongside the full humbucker output. With 24 extra-jumbo frets, a flat 13.78" radius, an extra-thin U neck and a Floyd Rose locking tremolo, it leans toward high-gain rock and metal lead work, fast runs and heavy riffing with dive-bomb and vibrato-bar expression.
ESP LTD M-200FM Electric Guitar See Thru Black
The M-200FM sits in the hand with a fast, responsive neck featuring an extra-thin U contour that cuts down hand fatigue during extended lead passages and rapid-fire technique work. The figured flame maple top in See Thru Black finish catches stage light beautifully while keeping weight manageable for all-day gigging. Plugged in, this guitar punches through a live mix with articulate highs and focused midrange clarity—the pickup configuration ensures you're heard without fighting for sonic real estate.
Playability & Feel
The roasted jatoba fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and a 13.78" radius paired to a 25.5" scale maple neck in extra-thin U contour delivers the speed you need whether you're locking into rhythm sections or unleashing lead lines. The 1.69" nut width gives you proper string spacing and comfortable access across the fretboard, while offset dot inlays keep visual reference clean and uncluttered.
Tone & Electronics
ESP-designed LH-150 humbuckers cover serious ground—crisp single-note definition on the bridge pickup, thick saturated chords when you dig in, and the passive 1x Volume and 1x Tone circuit with push/pull coil split gives you tonal flexibility without menu-diving. The LTD by Floyd Rose locking tremolo system locks in your tuning night after night and lets you abuse the whammy bar in a live setting without pulling you flat.

What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The M-200FM excels in rock, metal, and hard rock. Its punchy highs, articulate single-note clarity, and thick saturated chords make it less suitable for jazz or traditional folk applications.

The guitar features a 25.5-inch scale with a 1.69-inch nut width, roasted jatoba fingerboard with 13.78-inch radius, 24 extra-jumbo frets, and an extra-thin U-contoured maple neck. It comes strung with 9-42 gauge factory strings.
