ESP LTD Arrow-200 Guitar Black B-Stock
The Arrow-200 delivers a focused recording platform with a comfortable, playable neck built for tracking and layering parts in the studio. This sharp-pointed design pairs form with genuine function, offering a set-neck construction that produces solid sustain and resonance. The B-stock designation indicates minor cosmetic wear with no impact on playability or sound.
Playability & Tracking Feel
The three-piece maple neck with roasted jatoba fingerboard resists moisture and maintains stability over time. Combined with 24 extra-jumbo frets and a thin "U" profile contour, the neck supports fast legato work and demanding technical passages without fatigue, making punch-in sessions and multi-take recordings effortless.
Tone & Recording Characteristics
The mahogany body paired with ESP Design humbucking pickups produces warm, defined midrange that sits well in dense mixes and benefits from both clean and high-gain processing. The LTD by Floyd Rose tremolo system delivers smooth pitch modulation with reliable tuning stability, essential for tracking passages that rely on consistent intonation across multiple takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-stock mean for this guitar?
B-stock means the Arrow-200 is fully functional with no impact on playability or sound—it carries only minor cosmetic wear. You get the same performance and tone as a new unit at a lower price.
Is this guitar good for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The mahogany body, ESP Design humbucking pickups, and warm defined midrange are voiced specifically for rock and metal. The 24 extra-jumbo frets and thin U-profile neck support fast technical playing, and the Floyd Rose trem handles aggressive pitch modulation with stable tuning.
How does the neck feel for speed and endurance?
The three-piece roasted jatoba fingerboard resists moisture and stays stable, while the thin U-profile contour reduces fatigue during long sessions and demanding legato work. The 25.5" scale length is standard for rock and metal applications.
What sustain and resonance can I expect?
Set-neck construction is engineered for enhanced sustain and resonance compared to bolt-on designs, giving your notes more body and ring—ideal for both studio tracking and live performance.
How does the Arrow-200 compare to pricier LTD models?
The Arrow-200 shares the same body design philosophy and electronics as higher-tier LTD Arrows but at a mid-tier price point. You're trading boutique refinement for genuine playability and tone suitable for professional studio and stage use.
