ESP LTD EX-201 Black Satin

What we say:

At A Glance:

The ESP LTD EX-201 Black Satin is a purpose built heavy metal machine that won't break the bank. Its streamlined setup of one LH-150 bridge humbucker, designed by ESP, is the driving force behind this instrument's increased output. A punchy voice paired with the extreme shape is a perfect choice for heavier styles of music. The set-neck construction tightly bonds the 3 piece maple neck and mahogany body, whilst the roasted Jatoba fingerboard acts as your playground for guitar licks.

Features We Love:

Extra-Jumbo Frets

Twenty four extra-jumbo frets have been worked into the roasted Jatoba fingerboard. Larger frets like these require less force to make a note resulting in a faster-playing surface. Adding larger frets to guitars has been a popular upgrade since the hay day of shredding in the '80s.

Thin Neck Profile

The Thin U profile is a popular choice on many ESP LTD guitars. Having a thinner profile neck makes positioning your hand around the neck a lot more manageable. Being able to find a comfortable position is vital when trying to speed up your playing.

Humbuckers Designed by ESP

The LH-150B humbucker has been skilfully crafted under the strict instruction of ESP. ESP are responsible for many guitar innovations throughout guitar history, so who better than them to design the pickups for this guitar. The LH-150B humbucker supplies you a hot signal which can be used to push your amp a little harder than most and because they are humbucking there is no unwanted noise.

Highlights:

• ESP designed pickup
• Thin neck profile for improved playability
• Stable 3 piece neck
