LTD - EX-201 Black

Under its angular lines and its Black color, the LTD EX-201 Black asserts its identity without detour. Its three-piece maple neck, sculpted in Thin U, lets you fly on its 24 Extra Jumbo frets without ever complaining, while its rosewood fingerboard brings this subtle warmth under the fingers. Its 24.75-inch scale length remains faithful to the standards of the genre, balancing tension and comfort for intuitive playability. A guitar that, from the first time you pick it up, gives this impression of percussive familiarity, the one that makes you understand that this is serious.

Behind its sharp silhouette, the EX-201 hides a strong temperament. Its single ESP LH-150B microphone, mounted directly on the body, does not mince words: designed to send a powerful signal, it knows how to be biting when necessary, while letting itself be tamed thanks to its splittable mode activated via a push-pull on the volume control. Paired with a Tune-O-Matic bridge and an LTD Tailpiece, the set ensures a perfect balance between sustain, clean attack and precision. A real weapon of choice for those who like to mark their sonic territory.

You don't choose an Explorer just for its looks, but you have to admit that the LTD EX-201 Black doesn't go unnoticed. Its black hardware, its aged nickel pickup cover and its matching headstock back give it a strong personality, without ever going overboard. This guitar assumes what it is: an instrument designed for the stage, the studio, or simply to have fun exploring tones that are both incisive and modular. A riff machine that only requires a pair of hands to fully express itself.
