The ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX in Red Burst brings the iconic offset Phoenix silhouette to an accessible price point, loaded with modern playability and punchy rock tones. With its striking flamed maple top, comfortable roasted maple neck and versatile LH-150 humbuckers, it is a bold, stage-ready instrument that feels fast under the fingers and looks every bit as powerful as it sounds.
Designed for players who want classic rock attitude with contemporary reliability, the Phoenix-200DX combines a sleek Thin U neck profile with a 25.5 inch scale for tight, responsive string tension and excellent note definition. From chunky rhythm work to singing leads, this guitar is built to inspire confidence whether you are in the studio or under the lights.
The poplar body keeps the weight manageable while still delivering a solid, balanced tone, enhanced by the flamed maple top which adds snap and clarity. A TOM and tailpiece bridge setup provides rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, while the push-pull tone control lets you access a wider palette of sounds from the passive LH-150 pickups.
Finished in a vivid Red Burst with distinctive block inlays and matching black hardware, the Phoenix-200DX has a commanding presence that stands out in any line-up. If you are after a unique-looking guitar that backs up its style with serious performance, this LTD Phoenix is a compelling choice.
Powerful Rock Voice with LH-150 Pickups
The ESP Designed LH-150 humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions deliver a full, muscular tone that is ideal for rock and metal, with enough clarity to handle cleaner passages and edge-of-breakup crunch. Their passive design offers a natural, dynamic response that reacts to your picking hand and volume control, letting you shape everything from tight rhythm chugs to fluid lead lines.
Comfortable Roasted Maple Neck and Thin U Profile
The bolt-on roasted maple neck offers enhanced stability and a smooth, fast feel, while the Thin U profile sits comfortably in the hand for both chord work and technical playing. Combined with the 350 mm radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 XJ frets, you get low, effortless action and easy string bending across the entire neck.
Striking Flamed Maple Top in Red Burst
A flamed maple top over a poplar body gives the Phoenix-200DX its eye-catching aesthetic and adds extra brightness and definition to the tone. The Red Burst finish highlights the figuring of the wood and, together with the silver block inlays with gold shadow and black hardware, creates a premium, stage-ready look that is instantly recognisable.
Stable TOM and Tailpiece Bridge
The TOM and tailpiece bridge setup provides excellent tuning stability and sustain, making it ideal for players who need a reliable instrument for rehearsals and gigs. Combined with the standard LTD tuners and a moulded nut, you can play confidently knowing your intonation and tuning will stay consistent throughout your set.
