ESP LTD XJ-2HT SNOW WHITE guitar B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD XJ-2HT SNOW WHITE Guitar
The LTD XJ-2HT captures tight, articulate tones through a thin, fast neck profile wrapped in premium roasted maple that responds immediately to picking dynamics. Its Snow White finish combined with the matching reverse headstock provides clean visual consistency on camera, while the bolt-on construction at 25.5" scale delivers snappy attack and focused midrange definition. Built for studio tracking and mixing sessions demanding modern tonal flexibility without compromising tracking comfort, this hardtail design maximizes direct string-to-body energy transfer for transparent recording capture.
Recording & Construction
The 3-piece roasted maple neck with thin U-shaped profile and Macassar ebony fingerboard enable precise fret work and sustained intonation accuracy across long recording takes. 22 stainless steel frets paired with a 350mm (13.78") fingerboard radius and 42mm (1.65") nut width optimize tracking consistency and fretting clarity, while the swamp ash body with bolt-on construction sustains harmonic detail and maintains resonance depth essential for mixing flexibility.
Tone & Electronics
Two direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Humbuckers—featuring alnico neck and ceramic bridge pickups with brushed stainless covers—deliver multi-voiced harmonic options controlled via push-pull master volume switch for fast session switching between voicings. The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design, combined with LTD locking tuners and black bone nut, anchors the entire system for maximum frequency clarity, tuning stability, and consistent punch across multiple takes.

Is this guitar good for metal and hard rock?
Yes—the XJ-2HT is purpose-built for metal and progressive styles, with high-output Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, a tight 25.5" scale, and a hardtail bridge that delivers the articulate low end and snap demanded by heavy genres.

How does the Fishman Fluence system work?
The dual Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Humbuckers feature alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge, controlled by a master volume push-pull switch that lets you toggle between three voicing options. This gives you tonal range from articulate cleans to high-output gain without needing different pickups.
