The ESP LTD EC-201FT is a classic-looking axe with modern tone and playability. Its single-cut mahogany body and set-neck construction deliver exceptional acoustic tone and sustain ? a perfect match for this guitar’s high-octane bridge-position LH-150B humbucker. You’ll appreciate the lightning-fast action supplied by the LTD EC-201FT’s Thin “U”-shaped neck and 13.78-inch-radius roasted jatoba fingerboard, which is crowned with 22 extra-jumbo frets. This solidbody electric guitar’s topflight hardware consists of rock-solid LTD tuners and a TOM-style bridge with string-through design. The LTD EC-201FT is topped off with aggressive-looking black hardware, head-turning block fingerboard inlays, a molded pickguard, and a spotlight-ready gloss finish.





Single-cut body style blends classic looks with modern performance





Nothing screams hard rock quite like ESP's LTD Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the LTD EC-201FT truly epic sustain, whereas its slightly arched top provides comfortable hand positioning no matter what your playing style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway for easy access to all 22 frets, and you're equipped for all manner of rock, metal, and shred tones.
