Fluid lines and a fast comfortable feel give this electric guitar a personality that balances expression and practicality. The ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX is built around the flowing Phoenix body shape, offering a design that feels natural whether standing or seated while still projecting a strong stage presence. Using bolt-on construction at a 25.5" scale length, it pairs a lightweight poplar body with a thin U-shaped roasted maple neck, creating a responsive platform that remains easy to control across a wide range of playing styles.
Roasted Maple Neck Built for Consistency
The roasted maple neck is designed to remain stable and predictable through temperature and humidity changes. Roasting improves rigidity while keeping the feel smooth and broken-in, making the neck comfortable during long sessions. Shaped in a thin U profile and paired with a rosewood fingerboard, the Phoenix-200DX offers a fast approachable playing surface that encourages fluid movement up and down the neck.
ESP LH-150 Pickups With Coil-Split Flexibility
The LTD Phoenix-200DX is equipped with a set of ESP LH-150 passive humbuckers voiced to deliver warm output with clear articulation. These pickups handle driven tones with ease while remaining responsive for cleaner passages. A push-pull control allows the bridge pickup to split into single-coil mode, adding brighter more focused tones and expanding versatility without complicating the control layout.
22 Extra-Jumbo Frets for Confident Playing
The rosewood fingerboard carries 22 extra-jumbo frets, providing a solid feel under the fingers that supports wide bends, smooth vibrato and clear articulation. This fret size reduces effort during lead playing while keeping chord work comfortable and controlled, making the Phoenix-200DX well suited for players who move between rhythm and lead roles.
TOM-Style Bridge and Stable Hardware
A TOM-style bridge and tailpiece anchor the strings securely, enhancing sustain and keeping intonation consistent. LTD tuners provide reliable tuning stability, while the overall hardware package is selected for durability and day-to-day dependability. This setup gives the Phoenix-200DX a direct solid response that feels reassuring under the picking hand.
