Construction and Design

The ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX Black Burst electric guitar features a flamed maple top, which is particularly highlighted by the Black Burst finish. The finish accentuates the visual grain of the top and gives the instrument an expressive look. Together with the black hardware, it creates a harmonious overall appearance that effectively complements the Phoenix shape.

The body is made of poplar. It features a bolt-on construction. The neck is made of roasted maple and has a Thin U profile. The product description describes the neck as smooth and thin U-shaped. These specifications indicate that the instrument is designed for a clean, comfort-oriented playing experience.

With its 25.5" scale length, the ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX Black Burst electric guitar features a standard scale length for electric guitars. The instrument combines this scale length with a rosewood fingerboard, a fingerboard radius of 350 mm, and 22 extra-jumbo frets. The nut width is 42 mm, and the nut is shaped.

Pickups and Electronics

The ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX Black Burst Electric Guitar is equipped with a set of passive ESP LH-150 humbucker pickups. An ESP LH-150B is located at the bridge, and an ESP LH-150N at the neck. This gives the guitar two humbucker positions, which are controlled via the specified electronics layout.

The electronics layout consists of volume, tone with a push/pull function, and a toggle switch. The push/pull control is used to switch the bridge pickup to single-coil mode. This gives the instrument an additional switching option in addition to the standard humbucker configuration. The controls remain straightforward because they are focused on volume, tone, and the toggle switch.
