A Streamlined Axe with a Beefy Humbucking Pickup

The ESP LTD EC-201FT is a classic-looking axe with modern tone and playability. Its single-cut mahogany body and set-neck construction deliver exceptional acoustic tone and sustain — a perfect match for this guitar’s high-octane bridge-position LH-150B humbucker. You’ll appreciate the lightning-fast action supplied by the LTD EC-201FT’s Thin “U”-shaped neck and 13.78-inch-radius roasted jatoba fingerboard, which is crowned with 22 extra-jumbo frets. This solidbody electric guitar’s topflight hardware consists of rock-solid LTD tuners and a TOM-style bridge with string-through design. The LTD EC-201FT is topped off with aggressive-looking black hardware, head-turning block fingerboard inlays, a molded pickguard, and a spotlight-ready gloss finish.

Single-cut body style blends classic looks with modern performance

Nothing screams hard rock quite like ESP's LTD Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the LTD EC-201FT truly epic sustain, whereas its slightly arched top provides comfortable hand positioning no matter what your playing style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway for easy access to all 22 frets, and you're equipped for all manner of rock, metal, and shred tones.

Chock-full range of rocking tones

Equipped with a single ESP-designed LH150B humbucking pickup, the LTD EC-201FT is a no-nonsense rock machine of a 6-string with surprising sonic versatility. Sweetwater guitarists of all styles can’t help but admire how this guitar’s spartan single-pickup setup tackles everything from expressive blues leads to modern metal mayhem, delivering a hot, high-octane punch and superb note-to-note clarity. What’s more, the ESP LTD EC201FT also boasts a handy push-pull coil split function to instantly access classic single-coil tones when you need to cut through a mix.

The LTD series: ESP style and substance at a modest price

ESP LTD guitars were created to bring a more affordable version of the classic designs and quality of ESP guitars to a new market. The entire ESP LTD line features premium tonewoods, quality pickups, and solid hardware for a lifetime of use. An exacting eye for detail and quality means that every instrument is ready to rock when it leaves the factory. An impressive list of signature guitars by some of today's biggest guitar heroes shows the popularity and respect held by ESP LTD. If you're looking for the perfect rock or metal guitar, then you need to check out ESP LTD guitars.

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
