Get to know them!





For a rock-ready guitar at a great value, get your hands on the ESP LTD EX-201 solidbody electric guitar. Boasting one of ESP's most menacing body styles, the EX-201 is loaded with a formidable LH-150 humbucking pickup ? with a bridge pickup this savage, it's all you need for crushing high-gain riffs. And when you need some sonic contrast, pull up on the volume control for split-coil mode to tap into single-coil-style pickup tone. Complete with a Thin "U" neck profile and 24 extra-jumbo frets for fast, precise playability, Sweetwater guitarists are sure the ESP LTD EX-201 will exceed your expectations.





Menacing looks with modern performance





Nothing screams metal like ESP's EX body style. The extra mass of this design gives the EX-201 truly epic sustain. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you open access to the EX-201's upper frets, and you're ready for unobstructed playing freedom.

Set-neck construction





The set-in mahogany neck on the ESP LTD EX-201 provides a more solid connection to the body than you sometimes get with a bolt-on neck design. This translates to better vibrational transfer from the neck to the body, which results in a faster attack and a longer-lasting sustain. Plug in the EX-201, turn your amplifier up, and you'll see exactly what we mean.
