ESP LTD TE-201 Black Satin Electric Guitar B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD TE-201 Black Satin Electric Guitar B-Stock
The TE-201 is built to sit comfortably in a mix with its bright, snappy bolt-on construction and warm mahogany body that delivers rich sustain across genres and tunings. The thin U-shaped neck profile and smooth roasted Jatoba fingerboard enable efficient tracking and overdubbing sessions without hand fatigue, while the Black Satin finish photographs cleanly for studio documentation and video content.
Playability & Feel
The thin U-shaped neck profile and 350mm fingerboard radius support both rhythm tracking and lead passes without fatigue during extended session work. A 1.65" nut width provides balanced string spacing, and the 24 extra-jumbo frets with offset dot inlays enable quick transitions and precise intonation across the entire fingerboard for consistent takes.
Tone & Recording Character
The ESP LH-150B humbucker captures high-output tone with a push-pull coil-split control on the master volume, allowing you to record thick, distorted rhythm parts and switch to articulate, single-coil-like lead tones within the same session without rewiring. The LTD fixed bridge with string-thru-body design ensures solid sustain and tuning stability through multiple takes and long recording days.
