ESP LTD VOLSUNG-200 Black Satin Guitar
Description
ESP LTD VOLSUNG-200 Black Satin Guitar
The VOLSUNG-200 tracks cleanly through extended recording sessions with its satin finish and responsive playability that captures both aggressive picking dynamics and nuanced technique with clarity. The set-neck construction and thin U profile neck contour combined with a roasted jatoba fingerboard allow natural articulation across recording scenarios—delivering thick, well-defined tone that sits effectively in dense mixes and translates across metal, hard rock, and alternative productions.
Playability & Studio Comfort
The 24.75" scale length with 22 extra-jumbo frets and 350mm fingerboard radius supports tight, precise tracking for both rhythmic passages and expressive lead recordings. A 42mm nut width and thin U neck contour enable comfortable positioning during marathon session work, while the 7.4 lb weight reduces physical fatigue—critical for maintaining consistent performance and tone capture across multiple takes.
Tone & Recording Electronics
The ESP Designed LH-150 passive pickups in bridge and neck positions capture responsive, articulate output with custom black chrome covers and exposed pole pieces that enhance clarity and definition in recordings. The Vol/Vol/Tone/Toggle Switch configuration provides intuitive real-time control over pickup selection and output shaping during recording and mixing, while the TOM & tailpiece bridge with black chrome hardware maintains stable intonation and sustain across the full frequency spectrum for consistent takes.
