Aggressive M-Series Style at an Affordable Price
The ESP LTD MH-200 is a high-performance solid-body electric guitar from ESP’s M Series, offering the arched top of the Horizon with aggressive M styling in a budget-friendly package. Ideal for rock and metal players across Australia, it features bolt-on mahogany body construction, a maple neck, and roasted jatoba fingerboard for speedy playability. Available in Black finish, it’s equipped with an LTD by Floyd Rose tremolo and punchy ESP Designed LH-150 pickups, making it a great value for shredders and riffers.
High-Quality Performance
The MH-200 delivers powerful, versatile tones with modern features:
- Body: Mahogany with an arched top for resonant warmth and comfortable ergonomics, providing a balanced tone with punchy mids and clear highs suitable for aggressive riffs and leads.
- Pickups: ESP LH-150 humbuckers (neck and bridge) offer high-output, punchy tones with excellent clarity and sustain. The 3-way toggle switch allows neck, bridge, or both configurations for full-bodied rhythms and searing solos.
- Neck: Bolt-on maple with a thin U-shaped profile and satin finish for fast playability. The roasted jatoba fingerboard has a 16″ radius, 24 extra-jumbo frets, and dot inlays for smooth bends and extended range.
- Bridge: LTD by Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo for dive-bombs, pull-ups, and stable tuning, even under heavy use.
- Controls: Master volume and tone knobs for straightforward tone shaping.
Users praise its value and playability, with a Sweetwater review stating, “The MH-200 punches above its weight—great sustain and the Floyd Rose holds up well.” Some note the roasted jatoba fingerboard feels slightly different from rosewood but offers excellent stability.
