The "Eclipse" Spirit in a Streamlined Configuration
Part of the Eclipse family, the LTD EC-201 adopts the typical single-cut aesthetic and feel of the range, in a deliberately minimalist single-pickup version. This approach focuses on the essentials: feel, sustain, stability, and a straightforward response without any extras.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Perfect for beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking a reliable and inspiring electric guitar for rock, hard rock, and metal. The humbucker split broadens the spectrum towards more biting rhythms or clear arpeggios, useful in rehearsals, home studios, and on stage.
The Sound
The ESP LH-150B humbucker delivers a powerful tone with present mids and firm lows. In split mode, the attack sharpens and gains brightness for more incisive sounds. The mahogany body/neck combination, set-neck construction, and Tune-o-Matic bridge enhance projection and sustain. The deliberately simple electronics (1 push-pull volume) ensure a direct signal, responsive to playing nuances and pedals.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Sets of 6-string electric guitar strings in gauges 10-46 (versatile) or 9-42 (light set) in nickel-plated steel, standard guitar strap, picks of various thicknesses, 6.35 mm straight/angled jack cable. For clean playing and intonation, a capo designed for electric guitars with a 12" radius will be perfect.
