Description
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.
