ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX, Red Burst
The ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX in Red Burst combines bold offset styling with modern performance, delivering a guitar that looks every bit as powerful as it sounds. Featuring ESP’s distinctive Phoenix body shape, a striking flamed maple top, and a fast roasted maple neck, the Phoenix-200DX offers outstanding comfort, smooth playability, and serious stage presence.
A lightweight poplar body provides a balanced and responsive platform, paired with a bolt-on roasted maple neck that offers a smooth, stable playing feel. The rosewood fingerboard and extra-jumbo frets support confident movement across the neck, making both rhythm and lead playing feel natural. Equipped with a straightforward humbucker setup and a fixed Tune-o-matic bridge, the Phoenix-200DX is built for dependable performance across rehearsals, recording and live use.
The Phoenix-200DX features an offset poplar body that delivers a comfortable playing position and a balanced tonal response. Poplar keeps the overall weight manageable while providing an even frequency range that works well for both clean and driven tones. The flamed maple top adds visual depth and a touch of extra attack, helping notes stay defined in a mix. The distinctive Phoenix shape offers excellent upper-fret access and a familiar feel that suits a wide range of playing styles.
Roasted maple neck for smooth playability
A bolt-on roasted maple neck enhances stability and resistance to environmental changes, while offering a smooth, broken-in feel from the first session. Shaped to a thin U profile, it supports fast movement without feeling cramped or bulky. The 350mm radius rosewood fingerboard strikes a balance between traditional comfort and modern playability, allowing relaxed chord work and confident lead playing. Twenty-two extra-jumbo frets provide plenty of space for accurate articulation and expressive vibrato.
LH-150 humbuckers with flexible control layout
The Phoenix-200DX is equipped with ESP LTD LH-150 humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions, delivering a solid range of tones suited to rock and heavier styles. The bridge pickup provides punch and clarity for driven rhythm parts, while the neck pickup offers a warmer, smoother response for lead lines and cleans. A simple volume and tone layout keeps operation intuitive, with a push/pull function expanding tonal flexibility without complicating the control scheme.
Fixed bridge hardware for reliability
A Tune-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece provides dependable tuning stability, solid sustain and accurate intonation. This fixed bridge setup offers a consistent feel under the picking hand and is ideal for players who prefer a straightforward, no-nonsense response. LTD tuners keep tuning secure, while black hardware complements the Red Burst finish. Supplied strung with D’Addario strings, the Phoenix-200DX is built for reliable performance straight out of the box.
