ESP LTD MH-203QM See Thru Blue 2020 Electric Guitar

This is an ESP LTD MH-203QM Electric Guitar in See Thru Blue finish. Made in Indonesia in 2020, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body with a Quilted Maple top, a Maple neck, and a 24 X-Jumbo fret Maple fingerboard. Other appointments include a Locking Nut, a Floyd Rose bridge and a set of LTD sealed tuning machines. A trio of ESP Designed pickups are featured in a HSS format, a ESP Designed LH-150B humbucker is positioned in the bridge whilst a ESP Designed LS-120M is in the middle and a ESP Designed LS-120N single-coil is positioned in the neck, these are wired to a 5-way pickup selector, Master Volume and a Tone control with a push/pull coil-split.

The Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand with the ‘Thin U’ neck profile feeling incredibly ergonomic, allowing for great thumb placement all across the neck, whilst the 24 fret Maple fingerboard and X-Jumbo frets provide a robust playing experience that feels rock solid under the fingers, whilst enhancing string bending and vibrato techniques. The 13.77” provides an even and balanced feel across the strings, particularly in drop tunings. The contoured neck heel provides unobstructed access to the upper register, which works great with the double cutaway body design.

The ESP Designed pickups installed in this guitar deliver huge screaming tones that project a deep bass and punchy mids, as well as a searing bright treble to help you cut through the mix. The neck pickup produces a thick, rounded sound tone with plenty of power for your solos and lead lines. The bridge pickup is of course brighter, and with a higher output drives the front end of an amp into a beautifully saturated distortion. The simple control layout offers comprehensive control of your tone without being intrusive to the playing experience.
