Ready to dish out all manner of modern metal mayhem, ESP LTD’s EC-200DX represents a striking spin on the classic Eclipse platform. This axe makes a statement right out of the gate with a handsome flamed maple veneer top, along with a comfortable carved and contoured poplar body. 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 EC-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 2-piece TOM-style bridge and lock-tight LTD tuning machines. Compelling in both looks and sound, the ESP LTD EC-200DX is a rock-solid single-cut that does its ESP Eclipse heritage proud.

Fan the (maple) flames

The ESP LTD EC-200DX comes dressed to impress, boasting a striking flamed maple veneer that simply demands the attention of any audience. Coated in a sleek gloss finish, this guitar’s top beams with dazzling grain lines and figuring. Beneath the maple veneer lies a lightweight poplar body shaped into ESP LTD’s iconic Eclipse body shape — a more aggressive spin on your standard single-cut 6-string. Finish it all off with a sleek set of contours and carves around the cutaway and bolt-on neck joint, and the ESP LTD EC-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 EC-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 EC-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 EC-200DX 's tone switch, and you instantly go from humbucker to single-coil mode, opening up a whole new range of sounds.
