With such an understated, slick design, you'll have no trouble dipping into any genre with the TE-201. Sample modern pop, drawl through crunchy blues or turn up the distortion for some searing thrash metal, this is an instrument born for variety. Choose the style that suits you and play with passion, because the three-piece construction of the neck will stand up to the most energetic sets and give you reliable performance. And on reliability, the string-thru-body bridge design rewards you with excellent sustain in addition to tuning stability. Find you new tone on a stripped-back guitar built for innovation.

Output. And lots of it. ESP deliver you some wicked tones caked in distortion thanks to their own LH-150 humbucker. Glorious hot-wound coils on this pickup mean it will shine when blasting out heavy power chords or searing hot solos, but still offer a significant depth of tone through the clean channels.
Versatility at your fingertips. This humbucker also includes a coil split feature, so you can capture the glassy sound of single-coils at the push of a switch. Instantly thinning out the sound, you'll evoke crisp sparkling twangs to give your playing a totally new dynamic. Launch into new genres, or switch up your sound mid-song with this handy feature. Transform your playing attack and push the boundaries of creativity.
Bright in tonality and smooth to touch, this thin maple neck delivers sublime ESP quality. Designed for speed, it will draw out your best playing, allowing you to perform rapid riffs and flurries of notes with aplomb. Boasting a playing pace that will have you keeping up with the meanest shred machines out there, the TE-201 offers outstanding performance on a more reserved, classic appearance.
This neck style is also great for chording and rhythm playing, giving your fretting hand less fatigue during playing. Finally, an ergonomic cutaway neck heel gives you ample room at the top frets, so you can fly up the high notes to thrill your audience. And that's not to mention ESP's stellar three-piece design, using three layers of maple to provide a neck that's resistant to warping and environmental changes. So, you can thrash like no one is watching, because the TE-201 is built for endurance.
Sustain is the aim. Every guitarist craves it. It gives every note extra depth and impact and an overall enriched playing experience. Therefore, ESP have installed a fixed bridge with string-through-body design to get grant firm tuning stability and extra levels of sustain. It’s one of those secret ingredients to give your sound that extra pinch of sonic spice, and the TE-201’s delivers enough ring to express yourself fully. The benefits of tuning stability are obvious but often overlooked, there’s nothing worse than wonky tuning during a set and the LTD’s fixed bridge does a lot to prevent it.
