Description
Sound & Tone
The single ESP Designed LH-301B passive humbucker in the bridge position pushes a tight, cutting voice with strong attack, while the mahogany body underneath adds weight and sustain to sustained bends and palm-muted riffing. A 25.5" scale strung with .009–.042 sets keeps the low end firm and the highs snappy, and the volume-only control layout leaves the signal direct and uncluttered for high-gain work. With 24 extra-jumbo frets, a flat 350mm radius and a Floyd Rose Special with locking nut, it favors metal and hard rock players focused on fast lead lines, wide bends and dive-bomb vibrato effects.
ESP LTD Alexi-200 Electric Guitar in Black B-Stock
The Alexi-200 captures aggressive lead tones with a thin U-shaped maple neck and smooth roasted Jatoba fingerboard that enable fast, precise tracking across its 24 extra-jumbo frets. The offset V-shaped body delivers ergonomic comfort during extended tracking sessions, while the single ESP Designed LH-301B passive pickup provides articulate, cutting frequencies ideal for metal and hard rock production. As B-Stock inventory, this instrument offers professional-grade playability and construction at a reduced price point.
Recording Response & Feel
The maple neck with thin U-shape profile and roasted Jatoba fingerboard featuring sawtooth triangle inlays enable precise, repeatable fretwork across multiple takes. A 350mm fingerboard radius, 42mm nut width, and 25.5" scale establish a familiar playing platform that reduces fatigue during session work, while the locking nut maintains tuning stability across pitch-bend passages and vibrato effects.
Tone & Signal Chain Integration
The single-pickup configuration prioritizes clarity and articulation through the ESP Designed LH-301B and dedicated volume control, delivering natural sustain with a snappy attack that cuts through dense mixes. The Floyd Rose Special bridge enables pitch manipulation and vibrato effects for dynamic expression, while black nickel hardware and LTD tuners ensure reliable mechanical performance across multiple recording takes.

As a B-Stock instrument it carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish — a small finish mark with no effect on playability, tone or structure — which is why it sells for less than a first-quality unit. The exact blemish varies from unit to unit, so it is not described or pictured here; photos show the model, not the individual unit. It is new, unplayed and covered by the full manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this Alexi-200 is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect playability, tone, or durability. It includes the full manufacturer warranty and ships with D'Addario XL120 strings.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock lead work?
Yes. The thin U-shaped neck, 24 extra-jumbo frets, 350mm fingerboard radius, and LH-301B pickup are all optimized for fast, articulate lead passages. The Floyd Rose Special bridge and locking nut provide the tuning stability and pitch-bend precision metal and hard rock demand.
What pickup does this guitar have?
The Alexi-200 features a single ESP Designed LH-301B passive pickup with a single volume control. It delivers snappy attack, clarity, and natural sustain with an aggressive character suited to lead-driven applications.
How does the neck feel, and what is the scale length?
The neck is maple with a thin U-shape profile and roasted Jatoba fingerboard, designed for speed and comfort during fast fretwork. The 25.5 inch scale length, 42mm nut width, and 350mm fingerboard radius create a familiar playing geometry for standard tuning and pitch manipulation.
Is this guitar good for jazz, blues, or folk?
No. The Alexi-200 is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, and thrash metal. Its aggressive tone character, single-coil-style articulation, and lead-focused hardware and pickup design make it less suitable for jazz, blues, and folk styles.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
