Description
ESP LTD MH-200 Electric Guitar Black
The ESP LTD MH-200 delivers a fast, comfortable grip with its ultra-thin Thin-'U' neck profile that excels during marathon gig nights and studio sessions. The bolt-on maple neck and roasted jatoba fingerboard cut through the fretboard with speed and precision, while the mahogany body with arched top and high-gloss black finish commands attention on stage. Dual passive humbuckers provide the articulate, balanced tone that powers metal, hard rock, blues, and alternative performances with equal authority.
Playability & Neck Design
The 25.5" scale length pairs with a Thin-'U' neck profile and 13.8-inch fretboard radius to create a responsive playing platform that rewards both aggressive picking and dynamic control. Twenty-four extra-jumbo frets combined with offset block inlays and a 43mm locking nut lock in precise intonation and rock-solid tuning stability—essential for live reliability and studio consistency.
Tone & Electronics
Dual ESP Designed humbuckers—LH-150N in the neck position and LH-150B at the bridge—voice warm, defined tone with excellent sustain that cuts through a mix. The passive architecture delivers straightforward vol/tone and 3-way switch controls, letting you dial in your sound quickly without menu diving, so your focus stays on playing.
