Guitarists hunting for a metal-ready entryway into the world of ESP will find it in the supercharged sonics and sleek playability of the ESP LTD M-200DX. A carved and contoured double-cut poplar body starts the M-200DX off with a classic ESP edge, topped with a poplar burl veneer that beams with complex arrangements of captivating figuring. The bolt-on neck grants both stability and speed thanks to its robust roasted maple construction and shred-friendly Thin “U” profile. At the same time, a 350mm-radius rosewood fingerboard unlocks effortless bends and a high-performance feel across all 24 XJ frets. And while ESP and LTD instruments are most often found in the hands of metal-focused guitarists, the ESP LTD M-200DX’s LH-150 humbuckers cover everything from drop-tuned dirt-drenched riffage to classic rock crunch to smooth, smoky blues licks. You also get a top-tier hardware configuration comprising a TOM-style bridge and lock-tight LTD tuning machines. Versatile, comfortable, and eye-catching, the ESP LTD M-200DX is a killer axe that can take on any 6-string task you can throw at it.

Attention-grabbing burl poplar top

The ESP LTD M-200DX comes dressed to impress, boasting a striking burl poplar veneer that simply demands the attention of any audience. Coated in a sleek gloss finish, this guitar’s top beams sport pockets of complex grain arrangements. Beneath the veneer lies a lightweight poplar body shaped into ESP LTD’s double-cut M platform for enhanced upper-fret access. Finish it all off with a sleek set of contours and carves around the cutaway and bolt-on neck joint, and the ESP LTD M-200DX hits the mark on both artful aesthetics and high-performance playing comfort.

Robust and rigid roasted maple neck

Roasted to ensure the utmost stability, the ESP LTD M-200DX’s roasted maple neck comes carved into a Thin “U” shape. It’s a perennial favorite profile among shredders and technique-heavy players for its slim, fast, and comfortable feel in your hands. Topside, you get a 350mm-radius rosewood fingerboard coupled with 24 XJ frets, supplying a formidable foundation for extreme upper-register bends and lightning-fast licks.

ESP-designed LH-150 pickups deliver humbucking and single-coil tone

ESP gave the LTD M-200DX a wide range of tone by loading it up with a set of ESP-designed LH-150 pickups. These well-rounded humbuckers can be used for anything from straight-up rock to smooth blues and molten-hot metal. Pull up on the LTD M-200DX 's tone switch, and you instantly go from humbucker to single-coil mode, opening up a whole new range of sounds.
