Road-ready Workhorse for Rock, Metal, and More

Though priced to fit practically any budget, the ESP LTD M-201 HT electric guitar delivers a sound and performance today's gigging professionals crave. It all starts with warm and resonant mahogany for the body, laying a solid tonal foundation for a single LH-150B humbucker that is crafted specifically for rock, metal, and any gain-drenched genre imaginable. ESP went with three pieces of snappy maple for the neck, capped with silky roasted jatoba and shaped to a thin "U" for effortless lightspeed shredding. For pro-level playability at a steal of a price, you can't go wrong with the ESP LTD M-201 HT.

LH-150B humbucker tailored for aggressive playing

Rather than rely on third-party pickups to get the job done, ESP went with an in-house designed LH-150B to supply the LTD M-201 HT's searing tone. This direct-mount humbucker dishes out sweet-sounding heat to cover everything from dirt-tinged blues to destructive death metal and everything in between, with a push-pull master volume control for tapping into single-coil sounds in an instant. Sweetwater guitarists thoroughly appreciate the level of sonic versatility the LTD M-201 HT brings to the table, acting as a rock-solid workhorse with stripped-down and streamlined electronics.

LTD: huge value with ESP quality

ESP’s LTD marque was 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 of instruments 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 axes by some of today’s biggest guitar and bass heroes shows the popularity and respect commanded by the ESP LTD marque. Sweetwater is proud to carry such a distinguished line of musical instruments.

ESP LTD M-201 HT Electric Guitar Features:

  • Stripped-down and streamlined 6-string for rock, metal, and more
  • Mahogany body lays a warm and resonant tonal foundation
  • 3-piece maple neck shaped to a thin "U" for effortless shredding
  • Glasslike roasted jatoba fingerboard for quick chord changes and frantic fretting in complete comfort
  • ESP-designed LH-150B humbucker tailor-made for heavier playing styles
  • Coil-splittable master volume knob unlocks single-coil spank and twang in an instant
  • Hardtail bridge improves tuning stability

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!
