ESP LTD TE-200 Black Electric Guitar

General

ESP have been building solid, metal-focussed guitars for decades, and since they seek to provide something to suit every taste, the LTD TE-200 offers guitarists an old-school look blended with full-fat sound. The classic T-style shape of the mahogany body comes fitted with a just-as-classic bolt-on maple neck, but that's where tradition ends, since the dark roasted jatoba fretboard has been loaded with a set of twenty-four frets to complete an extended note-range, while a pair of full-fat humbuckers have been mounted to double the output, setting this model up for more extreme, explosive work.

The ESP LTD TE-200: Big Sound

While you can't argue with the bite and twang of a classic Tele, the TE-200 pushes that timeless sound into a fresh dimension via an ESP Designed LH-150N humbucker planted at the neck, and an ESP Designed LH-150B humbucker at the bridge - both fully primed to fire off the high-output tone needed to back up brutal gains. This setup is supported by a classic, fuss-free control panel populated by a single volume pot, a single tone pot and three-way switch. The result is thick amplified sound packed with warmth and definition whether crunching riffs or spinning solos.

Built for Speed

Comfortable and agile shredding is lent the full support of a thinner, U-profile neck and combines with the light and effortless feel of a set of extra-jumbo frets. The headstock has been tilted and stripped clean of any string-trees to support lower tunings, and the fixed, string-through-body bridge ensures maximum resonance as well as firm tuning stability. Essentially the next logical step up for any intermediate metal-head, this traditional and modern mash-up of a guitar offers more than enough for your money.
