Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with flame maple top and 25.5" maple neck give this M-200FM a punchy, articulate voice with focused midrange and tight highs, and the ESP-designed LH-150 humbuckers push thick, saturated chords while keeping single notes clear in a dense mix. Pulling the push/pull tone control splits the coils for thinner, brighter sounds, adding clean and rhythm options alongside the full humbucker output. With 24 extra-jumbo frets, a flat 13.78" radius, an extra-thin U neck and a Floyd Rose locking tremolo, it leans toward high-gain rock and metal lead work, fast runs and heavy riffing with dive-bomb and vibrato-bar expression.
ESP LTD M-200FM Electric Guitar See Thru Black
The M-200FM delivers a fast, responsive neck with an extra-thin U contour that supports both tight rhythm tracking and fluid lead work across all genres. The figured flame maple top in See Thru Black finish offers striking character while maintaining balanced weight and excellent ergonomics for extended session work. In the mix, this guitar produces punchy, articulate highs and focused midrange clarity from its pickup configuration, cutting through without dominating the stereo field.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The roasted jatoba fingerboard features 24 extra-jumbo frets with a 13.78" radius, paired with a 25.5" scale maple neck in an extra-thin U contour that accommodates both rhythmic parts and single-note passages. The 1.69" nut width delivers proper string spacing for clarity in recording, while the offset dot inlays provide reference without visual clutter.
Tone & Electronics
ESP-designed LH-150 humbuckers deliver versatile tracking across crisp single-note definition and thick, saturated chord voicings through a passive electronics layout with 1x Volume and 1x Tone (featuring push/pull coil split) controlled via 3-way selector. The LTD by Floyd Rose locking tremolo system maintains tuning stability across takes and enables expressive pitch effects for layered arrangements.
