Overview

A streamlined rock machine loaded with resonant tone.

The ESP LTD EC-201 electric guitar packs serious rock attitude into its slick, contoured double-cutaway body. Built with a solid mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck, it resonates with full-bodied warmth perfect for hard-hitting rhythm and singing leads. The thin U-shaped neck profile offers smooth, fast playability, while the jatoba fingerboard provides 22 extra-jumbo frets to facilitate complex soloing. With its sleek EC body shape, this ax is made for the stage.

Resonant Tone With Mahogany Body and Neck

The EC-201's solid mahogany body delivers a rich, organic sound with plenty of woody character. Set-neck construction produces enhanced resonance and sustain compared to bolt-on designs. The guitar's three-piece mahogany neck contributes to the warm, rounded tone. Together, these tonewoods give your playing a full-bodied sound with singing sustain.

Smooth Playability With Thin U-Shaped Neck

Shredding rapid-fire solos is a breeze thanks to the EC-201's thin U-shaped neck profile. Its slim contours and sleek feel make it easy to play fast up and down the fingerboard. The smooth satin finish enhances your comfort, letting your fingers fly across the neck with no friction. Whether you're ripping rock leads or chugging heavy rhythm, this guitar keeps up with ease.

Solo with Ease on Jatoba Fingerboard

The EC-201's jatoba fingerboard adds visual flair while providing a smooth surface for effortless playing. Jatoba's dense, hard structure makes an ideal fingerboard material that stands up to heavy use. The fingerboard is topped with 22 extra-jumbo frets, giving you ample room to bend and vibrate notes for emotive solos and shrieking leads. The expansive access empowers your creativity.

Crunch and Sustain With LH-150B Humbucker

This guitar comes loaded with a single ESP LH-150B humbucker that delivers hot output with singing sustain and bold crunch. Switching from clean to overdrive, this pickup provides excellent dynamics for both shimmering chords and wailing leads. Its substantial midrange focus cuts through the mix while lending body to clean passages. Dial in your tone with the master volume and coil-splitting capabilities.
