Play Fast Solos and Riffs With a Thin, Contoured Neck
The EX-200's thin, U-shaped neck provides effortless playability for tackling intricate solos and chugging riffage. Its smooth contour feels natural in your hand, offering comfort and control. With a 24.75" scale length and 22 extra-jumbo frets, this guitar gives you ample room to bend and vibrate notes. The jatoba fingerboard is topped with processed frets ends so you can blaze across the neck without getting caught on sharp fret edges. The EX-200 delivers the fast feel and access you need to unleash blistering leads.
Stay In Tune With Quality Tuning Machines
Nothing kills your tone like an out-of-tune guitar. The EX-200 uses ESP's quality tuning machines to keep your ax sounding pitch perfect, song after song. The tuners maintain tension and prevent slippage, even if you're laying into powerchords and divebombs. You can count on the EX-200 to stay in tune through long sets and high-energy jams, letting you focus on your playing rather than tuning.
Get Aggressive Tone from Crunchy Humbucker Pickups
This guitar comes loaded with a set of ESP LH-150 humbuckers, providing the fat saturation and output for metal and hard rock tone. With ceramic magnets and powerful coils, these pickups serve up thick mids, tight lows and singing highs. Drive your amp into distortion and get that crunchy rhythm tone, perfect for aggressive powerchords. Flip to the single-coil setting for glassy lead tones that cut through a mix. The LH-150 pickups offer tonal flexibility, delivering the punch you need for high-gain playing.
Feel the Warmth of a Bound Jatoba Fingerboard
The EX-200 fingerboard is made from jatoba, a dense wood known for its warm, resonant tone. Jatoba accentuates each note with clear fundamentals and singing overtones. Its smooth finish lets you glide up and down the neck with ease. With a fully bound fingerboard and pearloid block inlays, the EX-200 looks as good as it plays and sounds. Jatoba's richness enhances sustain, making this guitar sing.
