Tailor-made for Everything from Pop to Thrash

The LTD TE-201 delivers the essence of ESP — a company founded on taking existing guitar designs and supercharging them. The TE-201's single-cut body shape and bolt-on neck borrow from the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitar. But this is no country guitar (unless you want it to be). Outfitted with a single classic nickel-plated ESP LH-150B humbucker and volume control, the TE-201 keeps things manageable for budget-minded guitarists who need an axe that will suit several genres. Keep it clean to go for a more modern pop sound, or crank the volume and break down walls into the world of rock, metal, and thrash with ease. The volume control even doubles as a coil splitter when pulled, giving you a brighter single coil twang when you need it. The classic mahogany body has comfortable forearm and torso contours, and the neck heel is shaped to give you free access to the upper registers when you’re ripping out a solo. With killer tone, classic visuals, and a 24-fret neck designed for speed, the ESP LTD TE-201 is ready to rock whenever you are.

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.

Great Guitar at an amazing price point.

My wife wanted a simple guitar to practice with and play a few songs. This is exactly what she was looking for. It's simple without having a ton of knobs to try and dial in sound. This is perfect for a beginner but the sound matches some of my higher end guitars. The look is killer with the flat black which is what drew me to this guitar to begin with. I played it a bit today and it sounds great. Thanks Sweetwater and thanks Jeffrey Green for always making my purchase process so easy.
