Sound & Tone
The mahogany V-body and bolt-on maple neck give the HEX-200 a focused, sustaining voice with strong note definition, while the ESP Designed LH-301N and LH-301B passive humbuckers push thick midrange presence and punchy lows that hold together under high gain. The 25.5" scale keeps string tension tight and articulate for drop tunings and fast palm-muted riffing, and the flat 350mm radius with 24 extra-jumbo frets supports rapid lead lines and wide bends. Pulling up the push-pull volume splits the pickups for thinner, single-coil-style clarity, opening up darker alternative and clean-passage textures alongside the guitar's core metal and hard rock focus.
ESP LTD HEX-200 Nergal Electric Guitar – Black Satin
The HEX-200 Nergal combines a symmetrical V-shaped mahogany body with a fast, responsive thin U-profile neck that delivers precision tracking and cuts through aggressive playing dynamics. The roasted jatoba fretboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets create an ideal platform for rapid lead work and intricate fingering patterns, while the satin finish offers a refined, non-slip playing surface across all positions. This is a purpose-built instrument for recording sessions and live tracking that demand responsiveness, clarity, and sustain in equal measure.
Playability & Recording-Ready Response
The thin U neck contour and 350mm fingerboard radius deliver fast action suited for lead-intensive tracking, while the 25.5" scale and 42mm nut width maintain classic proportions for comfort and consistent intonation across multiple takes. Mahogany construction ensures each note resonates with definition and sustain, with the bolt-on neck joint providing direct coupling between body and neck for articulate, repeatable response in the mix.
Tone & Electronics for Studio Versatility
The ESP LH-301N neck and LH-301B bridge passive pickups deliver thick, articulate tone with clarity in the midrange and satisfying low-end punch that sits well in dense arrangements. A push-pull volume control enables pickup splitting for single-coil tones, expanding your recording palette from heavy drop-tuned riffs to darker alternative textures without requiring additional gear.

The HEX-200 Nergal delivers responsive, inspiring playability and tonal versatility in a package engineered for professional session work and studio production.
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 guitar is new and unplayed with a minor factory cosmetic blemish—such as a small finish mark—that has no effect on playability, tone, or structural integrity. The exact blemish varies from unit to unit and is covered by the full manufacturer warranty.
Is this guitar good for metal and djent?
Yes. The thin U-profile neck, 24 extra-jumbo frets, 25.5" scale, roasted jatoba fretboard, and 350mm radius are all optimized for fast lead work and drop tunings. The mahogany body and ESP-designed passive pickups deliver the thick, articulate tone with punchy low end and sustain that metal and djent demand.
What kind of tones can I get from the pickup switching?
The push-pull volume control enables pickup splitting to access single-coil tones, expanding your range from heavy drop-tuned riffs to darker alternative textures. The ESP LH-301N neck and LH-301B bridge pickups provide thick, articulate tone with clear midrange as your default voicing.
What are the neck and body specifications?
The guitar features a symmetrical V-shaped mahogany body with bolt-on neck construction, a three-piece maple neck with thin U contour, 25.5" scale length, 42mm nut width, and a roasted jatoba fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and 350mm (13.78") radius.
Is this suitable for jazz or country playing?
No. The HEX-200 Nergal is purpose-built for metal, djent, hard rock, and lead-intensive work; its fast neck, extra-jumbo frets, and aggressive pickup voicing are not ideally suited to jazz or country styles.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces such as eBay, Reverb and Amazon collect sales tax in nearly every state as marketplace facilitators no matter who the seller is, so the same item at the same price costs less bought direct. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included. Some states ask buyers to self-report use tax on out-of-state purchases.
