The ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX in Black Burst delivers classic offset-rock attitude with modern playability and a sleek, stage-ready look. With its striking flamed maple top, comfortable thin U neck profile and powerful LH-150 humbuckers, this is a guitar built to handle everything from tight rhythm work to searing leads, all while looking the part under the lights.
Combining a bolt-on roasted maple neck with a poplar body and rosewood fingerboard, the Phoenix-200DX offers a snappy, articulate response that feels instantly familiar. A traditional TOM bridge and tailpiece keep things solid and stable, while the push/pull coil-split adds extra tonal flexibility at the flick of a switch. Whether you are into classic rock, modern metal or anything in between, this Phoenix is ready to rise to the occasion.
Striking Phoenix Style
The Phoenix-200DX takes ESP’s distinctive offset silhouette and dresses it up in a stunning Black Burst finish over a flamed maple top. The result is a guitar that looks as sharp as it sounds, with a premium aesthetic that stands out on any stage. Silver block inlays with a gold shadow add a touch of class to the fingerboard, giving you a visually cohesive, high-impact instrument.
Comfortable Roasted Maple Neck
A roasted maple neck with a thin U profile and 350 mm fingerboard radius provides a fast, comfortable playing feel across the entire 25.5 inch scale. The bolt-on construction gives you a tight, immediate response that is perfect for articulate riffing and precise lead work. Combined with 22 extra-jumbo frets, bending and vibrato feel effortless and controlled.
Versatile LH-150 Humbuckers
Loaded with ESP Designed LH-150 humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions, the Phoenix-200DX delivers a punchy, full-bodied tone that works brilliantly for rock and metal. These passive pickups provide plenty of output and clarity, giving you tight lows, focused mids and smooth highs that cut through a mix without getting harsh.
Coil-Split Tonal Flexibility
The simple Volume, Tone and toggle switch layout is enhanced by a push/pull function on the tone control, allowing you to split the humbuckers for single-coil style sounds. This gives you everything from thick, powerful humbucker tones to brighter, more articulate voices, all from one guitar. It is an ideal setup for players who need to cover a wide range of styles without changing instruments.
