Boldly Designed Signature Max Cavalera Guitar from ESP
As a cofounder of seminal thrash/groove metal band Sepultura, Max Cavalera has been a dedicated ESP user for decades. His ESP LTD MAX-200 RPR captures all the tonal ferocity, style, and playability of the artist it represents, and puts it all in your hands. The MAX-200 features a lightweight, tone-heavy solid basswood body cut to a jaw-dropping, aggressively angular offset design. A bolt-on Thin "U"-shaped maple neck with a smooth roasted jatoba fingerboard offers incredible response and playability, ideal for heavy power chords and chunky palm muting. A pair of ESP-designed LH-150 pickups give this metal machine a ton of searing humbucker tone as well. And a Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece provide stellar sustain and tuning support — a must-have when you’re churning out attitude-infused riffs like Max Cavalera.
Comfortable design for heavy play
If you’re looking for comfort, speed, and amazing response, the maple neck on the LTD MAX-200 RPR is cut to a smooth, playable Thin "U" profile. Its 13.7-inch-radius jatoba fingerboard is adorned with 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets — a favorite among players in heavy genres. The “X” inlays along the fingerboard are a custom detail from Max himself, and they give the LTD MAX-200 some serious stage presence.
Screaming humbuckers that are ready to rock
The two ESP designed LH-150 humbuckers in this signature screamer are engineered to deliver heavy, articulate tone that sits firmly in the midrange and low end for lots of crunchy Sepultura-style Ratamahatta. These passive humbuckers are known for being able to handle higher volumes without becoming too sludgy, a big reason why they are a favorite pickup here at Sweetwater.
