ESP LTD TE Series Guitars | LV Guitars

Pick up an LTD TE and the single-cutaway shape feels immediately familiar, but the details are pure ESP. The neck is built to play comfortably over a long set, and the humbuckers push a fatter, hotter signal into your amp than a traditional T-style guitar. That makes it a strong stage tool for rock and country-rock gigs, where you want twang-friendly attitude with more punch.

Gigging players can look at the TE-200 and TE-200DX as the practical entry points, while the TE-1000 is the one to consider if you want a step up in components and finish. Prices run from about $899 to $1,699, so there is room for both a dependable backup and a main guitar.

LV Guitars keeps the live grid below current, and it may include other LTD models, such as the TH and Eclipse guitars, that appeal to players and collectors looking at the brand.
