Of the most dutifully built ESP LTD electric guitars in ourcollection, the Phoenix-201 remains among the most comfortable and navigable. Impressive sonics radiate from the LTD Phoenix-201’s solid mahogany body, projected and electrified via a single yet potent ESP LH-150B pickup. From there, the Phoenix-201 is loaded with top-notch modern appointments, including a Tune-o-matic bridge and matching black tailpiece, 22 XJ frets, a molded nut, and ESP tuning machines for structural and tonal stability in the face of any stage or studio recording session. To boot, it’s all topped off with a deluxe gloss finish, ensuring zero aesthetics are compromised in the face of top-class performance.

Smooth, comfortable, and navigable

Apart from its charming looks, the LTD Phoenix-201’s solid mahogany body boasts an incredibly navigable playing surface with a gorgeous gloss finish for an elite onstage appearance. Up top, the Phoenix-201’s 3-piece mahogany neck features a set-in joint and Thin-U profile, easily managing quick notational changes while maintaining complete playing control throughout your session. Likewise, a 13.77-in.-radius rosewood fretboard with 22 XJ frets ensures every movement is made accurately and comfortably, no matter your genre or playing style. Need to see it for yourself? Take the Phoenix-201 in hand, and you’ll know exactly what we mean.

Superb intonation support

What makes the LTD Phoenix-201 such a solid choice for the stage? Our guitarists believe it’s the guitar’s exceptional intonation stability, made possible by a Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece and top-class ESP hardware. Likewise, ESP’s LTD-style tuning machines and a molded nut provide a stable playing field while ensuring quick tuning changes between sets can be made efficiently and comfortably. Rest assured that you’ll be making fewer intonation changes on the fly, giving you more time to focus on what matters most: your performance.

Power-packed ESP pickup

The ESP LH-150B is a highly configurable and independently potent pickup. As a result, our guitarists were not surprised to find just how well it shines onboard the LTD Phoenix-201 electric guitar. With ample coverage and a Volume knob with push-pull control, you’ll be surfing tones from dropped-down rhythms to high-potency leads and riffs in no time flat. Topped off with a traditional humbucking design to cut back on external noise interference, the ESP LH-150B is a pickup you’ll be more than glad to have onboard your new axe.
