If you're ready to rock but want a guitar that's as easy on your budget as it is powerful in the studio and on stage, the LTD EX-201 is a great choice.

Built with set-neck construction at 24.75' scale, the EX-201 has a mahogany body and comfortable three-piece maple neck that features a roasted jatoba fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and dot inlays.

Features on the EX-201 include an LTD bridge and tailpiece, a reverse matching headstock, and a single direct-mount ESP LH-150B pickup an with antique nickel cover. The LH-150B's hot output is perfect for rock and metal, but can also be split for single-coil sounds with the push-pull volume knob.
