The LTD EXL-200 is a baritone offset guitar, and if you know what that means you already know why this is interesting. If you do not, here is the short version: the EXL-200 has a longer scale length than a standard guitar, which means you can tune down to B standard or drop A and still have string tension that feels tight and playable rather than floppy and unresponsive. It is the guitar for players who want to go low without losing definition.The offset body shape puts the EXL-200 in a different visual category from the EC or Viper platforms. It is angular, modern, and aggressive looking in a way that suits the kind of music this guitar is built for. The Black finish keeps it clean and purposeful. This is not a guitar that is trying to look like anything else. It has its own identity.The mahogany body gives you the warmth and sustain that low tunings need to sound full rather than thin. The three piece maple neck in a set neck construction adds stability and resonance, and the longer scale length keeps the intonation accurate all the way up the neck even when you are tuned down significantly. The rosewood fingerboard has 24 extra jumbo frets, giving you the full range you need for extended range playing.The ESP Designed LH-150B humbuckers are voiced specifically for baritone and extended range applications. They handle the lower frequencies without getting muddy, and they have enough output and clarity to cut through a dense mix when you are playing in a band context. The coil split gives you single coil tones when you want them, which adds versatility for players who use this guitar across different styles.If you play in drop tunings, if you write riffs that live in the low register, or if you have been looking for an offset baritone that does not cost a fortune, the EXL-200 is the instrument to look at. It is a staff pick here at The Pied Piper for a reason.Available at The Pied Piper Music Store.
