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.

Key Features

  • Flamed Maple Top in Black Burst – The flamed maple top with Black Burst finish gives the Phoenix-200DX a premium, eye-catching look that stands out on stage, while the poplar body keeps the instrument lightweight and resonant for long sets.
  • Roasted Maple Neck with Thin U Profile – The roasted maple neck offers enhanced stability and a smooth feel, while the thin U profile and 350 mm radius make fast runs, chords and bends feel natural and effortless.
  • ESP Designed LH-150 Humbuckers – A pair of LH-150 passive humbuckers deliver a powerful, versatile tone that is ideal for rock and metal, with enough clarity and definition to handle clean passages and complex chords.
  • TOM Bridge with Coil-Split Electronics – The TOM bridge and tailpiece provide solid tuning stability and sustain, while the Volume/Tone (push/pull) and toggle switch layout gives you quick access to both humbucker and coil-split sounds.

More info about this Product

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
