Description
ESP LTD MH-200HT/QM Dark Brown Sunburst
The MH-200HT/QM is built for the stage and the studio with its extra-thin U-shaped neck contour and 25.5" scale, giving you extended reach and comfortable fretting across all positions. The figured quilted maple top stands out visually while the mahogany body construction delivers a warm, focused resonance that works equally well for clean articulation and high-gain applications. This is a purpose-built instrument that delivers professional-grade construction without compromise.
Playability & Feel
The 3-piece maple neck with extra-thin U contour and rosewood fingerboard creates a responsive, fast-playing platform that sits naturally in your hands. A 350mm fingerboard radius and 24 XJ frets support smooth bends and precise intonation, while the 42mm molded nut ensures consistent string spacing and reliable tuning stability across a full gig.
Tone & Electronics
The LH-301B bridge and LH-301N neck pickups deliver classic passive electronics with clear articulation and natural dynamics controlled through a straightforward Volume/Tone (Push-Pull)/3-way Switch layout. The LTD fixed bridge with string-thru design maximizes sustain and tonal transfer, while black hardware complements the dark brown sunburst aesthetic and withstands road use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for beginners or players new to extended-range playing?
This is designed for intermediate to advanced players and professionals. The extra-thin U-contour neck is fast and responsive but rewards technique; the 25.5" scale and narrow 42mm nut are optimized for metal and hard rock, not beginner-friendly comfort. Start on a more approachable model if you're just beginning.
What pickups does it come with, and can I swap them later?
It ships with LH-301B bridge and LH-301N neck pickups—classic passive units with clear articulation and natural dynamics. Yes, the standard mounting and cavity design allow easy swaps if you want hotter or voicing alternatives down the road.
What is the neck construction, and how does the fingerboard radius affect playability?
The neck is a 3-piece maple construction with an extra-thin U contour and 350mm fingerboard radius, which gives you smooth bends without sharp edges and supports both open chords and lead work. The rosewood fingerboard with 24 XJ frets and 42mm molded nut ensures consistent intonation and reliable string spacing.
What strings come with it, and what is the scale length?
It ships with D'Addario XL110 strings (0.010–0.046 gauge) and has a 25.5" scale length, which supports clear articulation and sustain-rich tone for metal and hard rock tuning.
How does the fixed bridge design affect sustain and tuning stability?
The LTD fixed bridge with string-thru design maximizes sustain and direct tonal transfer by locking vibration into the body without loss. This design also improves tuning stability, especially under the bend-heavy playing styles common in metal and progressive rock.
