Description
ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX Red Burst Electric Guitar
The Phoenix-200DX is built for working musicians and serious players who need an instrument they can trust night after night. Its thin U-shaped roasted maple neck and lightweight 8.8 lb body deliver the speed and comfort required for both tight studio sessions and full-volume stage work. The striking Red Burst finish over flamed maple commands attention under lights while the responsive bolt-on construction ensures the clarity and sustain that cut through a live mix. This is a workhorse guitar—straightforward, dependable, and built around what matters most: how it plays.
Playability & Feel
The thin roasted maple neck with satin finish and reverse inline headstock lets you move effortlessly across the fretboard during fast passages and position shifts. 22 extra-jumbo frets and a 13.78" fingerboard radius make clean articulation easy whether you're tracking smooth leads or locking in heavy chords, while neck dimensions of 0.808" at the 1st fret and 0.896" at the 12th fret keep fatigue at bay during long sets and studio hours.
Tone & Electronics
The paired ESP LH-150 passive humbucking pickups give you classic, punchy tone with enough output to drive an amp hard on stage. The push-pull control splits the bridge pickup into single-coil mode when you need it, adding tonal flexibility without extra switching complexity. A TOM-style bridge and tailpiece with black hardware lock in stable tuning and fat sustain, while the bolt-on construction preserves the tight, present character that cuts through a full band mix.
