Description
Sound & Tone
Two LTD LH-150 humbuckers give the M-200DX a punchy, full-bodied voice with the tightness and clarity you'd expect from a 25.5" scale poplar-bodied bolt-on, while the string-thru TOM-style bridge adds sustain behind heavy rhythm chugs and sustained leads. Pulling up on the tone knob splits the coils for brighter, more articulate single-coil textures, opening the door to cleaner rhythm parts and funkier chord work. With 24 XJ frets and a thin U-shaped roasted maple neck, it leans toward rock and metal lead playing but has enough range in the switching to cover rhythm duties across other styles.
ESP LTD M-200DX Electric Guitar in Purple Burst
The M-200DX settles into the hand with a thin U-shaped neck contour and balanced weight distribution, making it comfortable for long tracking sessions and precise muting control during overdubs. The Purple Burst finish over burled poplar delivers striking visual presence without compromising resonance or playability. This is a genuinely capable instrument that captures both lead and rhythm work with equal clarity and definition.
Playability & Construction
The bolt-on roasted maple neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard and 24 XJ frets provides the consistency and precision needed for reliable intonation across takes. The 25.5" scale with 43mm nut width and 350mm radius fingerboard deliver stable action and predictable playability, while the thin U-shape contour ensures comfort and control during detailed fretwork and extended recording sessions.
Tone & Recording Character
Two LTD LH-150 humbucking pickups deliver punchy, full-bodied tones suited to diverse material, with a push-pull switch on the tone knob that splits the humbuckers into single-coil mode for bright, articulate voicings and clean tonal separation in the mix. The TOM-style bridge with string-thru-body design and black chrome hardware enhance sustain and tuning stability across multiple takes, reducing the need for tuning corrections between passes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect playability or tone?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections: fret sprouts along the fretboard binding and scratches on the back of the body. These are purely superficial and have absolutely zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. The guitar carries full manufacturer warranty.
Can this guitar handle both lead and rhythm work?
Yes. The dual LTD LH-150 humbuckers deliver full-bodied tones for rhythm, and the push-pull tone switch splits them into single-coil mode for bright, articulate lead voicings. It's equally suited to both styles.
Is the neck comfortable for extended playing sessions?
The thin U-shaped neck contour, roasted maple construction, and balanced weight distribution are designed for comfort and control during long performances and studio takes. The 25.5" scale with 43mm nut width and 350mm radius fingerboard deliver consistent action and intonation.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The M-200DX excels in rock, metal, and hard rock. It is not optimized for jazz or folk styles.
What hardware and bridge setup does it have?
A TOM-style bridge with string-thru-body design pairs with black chrome hardware and LTD tuning machines to enhance sustain and tuning stability. The passive electronics configuration keeps things straightforward and reliable.
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. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $22 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
