Following up on the sought-after GH-SV, ESP LTD and the Exodus and Slayer master-guitarist serve up the more affordable V-style Gary Holt Signature GH-SV-200. The three-piece mahogany neck has been bound to the mahogany body via a bolt-on joint and topped with a tasteful roasted jatoba fretboard that's finished with pearloid split-block inlay position markers to complete a classic, resonant, stable and sustain rich build, while the ultra-flat 13.78 inch fretboard radius and twenty-two extra-jumbo stainless steel frets complete the near-effortless playability. The ESP LTD GH-SV-200: A Lesson in Violence Every piece of hardware has been dipped in black, from the Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo bridge to the locking nut, which don't just look undeniable cool but, teamed up with the pack of six LTD closed oil-bed machine heads, support expressive bends and vibrato tricks without dropping tune. Formidable power and tight definition is spooned out by a set of direct-mount high-output ESP LH-301 humbuckers, guaranteeing tonal clarity, balanced trebles and basses and superior articulation, even at high levels of gain and distortion and, as an extra-flexible final touch, the neck pickup can be coil-split via a push/pull volume pot to change up the output with some single-coil sparkle. In short: you're looking at a more than worthy axe that compromises on nothing.
