Fretboard and Playability

The fretboard of the ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX Red Burst electric guitar is made of rosewood. The fretboard radius is 350 mm. The instrument is equipped with 22 extra-jumbo frets, listed in the specifications as 22 XJ. The nut width is 42 mm, and the nut type is shaped.

The combination of a poplar body, a toasted maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard forms the foundation of the instrument.

Pickups and Electronics

The ESP LTD Phoenix-200DX Red 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.

The push/pull control is used to switch the bridge pickup to single-coil mode.
