Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body lends warmth and sustain while the bolt-on 3-piece maple neck and 25.5" scale add brightness, snap and firm string tension, giving notes a percussive attack that cuts through a band mix. The single ESP LH-150B humbucker in the bridge is voiced high-output for thick, saturated riffing and lead work, and its push-pull coil-split on the master volume thins things out to a clearer, more articulate single-coil-like sound for cleans and rhythm parts. With a string-thru fixed bridge, 24 extra-jumbo frets and a thin U neck, it leans toward hard rock and metal but stays usable for blues-rock and general-purpose playing where sustain and tuning stability matter.
ESP LTD TE-201 Black Satin Electric Guitar B-Stock
The TE-201 is built to gig—a fast-playing workhorse with a thin U-shaped neck profile and smooth roasted Jatoba fingerboard that stays comfortable through long sets. The bolt-on construction delivers a bright, snappy character that cuts through a live mix, while the mahogany body provides warm sustain that responds predictably across a range of playing styles and dynamics. The Black Satin finish presents a professional, understated aesthetic that looks confident on stage and in the studio.
Playability & Feel
The thin U-shaped neck profile and 350mm fingerboard radius let you move fluidly between rhythm passages and lead lines without hand fatigue. A 1.65" nut width provides balanced string spacing, and the 24 extra-jumbo frets with offset dot inlays enable quick transitions and precise intonation across the entire fingerboard—essential for staying locked in during live performances.
Tone & Electronics
The ESP LH-150B humbucker delivers high-output tone with a push-pull coil-split control on the master volume, letting you move from thick, distorted riffs to articulate, single-coil-like clarity without reaching for another instrument. The LTD fixed bridge with string-thru-body design ensures solid sustain and stable tuning through extended playing sessions—critical for reliability when you're on the road.

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 does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means the TE-201 is new and unplayed with a full manufacturer warranty, but carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish—such as a small finish mark—that has no effect on playability, tone, or structural integrity. The exact blemish varies unit to unit and is not pictured; this discount reflects appearance only.
Will this guitar work for styles outside hard rock and metal?
The TE-201 excels in hard rock, metal, rock, and studio sessions. Its bright, snappy bolt-on character and high-output humbucker are less suited to jazz and folk, where warmer, lower-output tones and hollow-body resonance are typically preferred.
How does the coil-split work, and what tones can I get?
The ESP LH-150B humbucker features a push-pull coil-split control on the master volume, letting you toggle between thick, distorted full-humbucker riffs and articulate, single-coil-like clarity in the same position. This gives you tonal range within a single pickup setup.
Is the thin U-shaped neck comfortable for extended playing?
Yes—the thin U-shaped profile, 1.65-inch nut width, and 350mm fingerboard radius are designed to accommodate both rhythm and lead work without hand fatigue, making it suitable for intermediate and advanced players who prioritize speed and comfort.
Will the tuning stay stable during long sets or recording sessions?
The LTD fixed bridge with string-thru-body design ensures solid sustain and stable tuning through extended playing sessions, making it reliable for both live gigging and studio tracking.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
