Overview

Gary Holt's signature model made affordable.

The ESP LTD GHSV-200 electric guitar brings the offset body shape and flair of Gary Holt's custom ESP to more players. With its Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo, you can execute divebombs, flutter and other techniques that are essential for thrash metal. The GHSV-200 features direct-mount LH-301 humbucking pickups that provide excellent tonal clarity and articulation with well-rounded highs and lows. Shredding up and down the neck is smooth and comfortable thanks to the roasted jatoba fingerboard with 22 extra jumbo stainless steel frets. The 3-piece mahogany neck offers stability for soloing, while the contoured mahogany body hugs your body tightly when playing. And with its affordable price tag compared to the custom model, the GHSV-200 lets you get Gary Holt's iconic guitar style without breaking the bank.

Flutter and Divebomb With the Floyd Rose Tremolo

The Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo on the GHSV-200 gives you the ability to perform radical techniques essential for thrash metal. Lock the strings at the nut and fine tune the Floyd Rose for incredible tuning stability even when doing extreme flutters, divebombs and whammy tricks. The tremolo returns to pitch right after you manipulate it so you can be confident your riffs will come through accurately. Unleash thrash metal mayhem on the GHSV-200 thanks to its versatile Floyd Rose tremolo.

Articulate Pickups With Strong Mids and Tight Lows

The LH-301 humbucking pickups on the GHSV-200 are voiced specifically for metal, with excellent tonal clarity and articulation. They capture the sound of your pick attack yet still deliver full output. The midrange has an aggressive bite perfect for cutting through a mix while the lows stay tight for defined rhythm chugging. From crisp treble to robust low end, the LH-301 pickups give you the sound of Gary Holt's signature ESP guitar in an affordable LTD version.

Roasted Jatoba Fingerboard for Fast, Smooth Playing

Shredding up and down the neck feels natural on the GHSV-200 thanks to its roasted jatoba fingerboard. The heating process stabilizes the wood, resulting in a harder fingerboard that doesn't dry out. Jatoba also has a smooth, uniform grain that enhances playability. Combined with the thin U-shaped neck profile, reaching even the highest notes on the 22 extra jumbo frets becomes effortless. The GHSV-200's roasted jatoba fingerboard gives you the speed you need for thrash metal soloing.

Contoured Mahogany Body for Comfort

The mahogany body on the GHSV-200 fits close to your body for maximum playing comfort. Its beveled cutaway and forearm contour enable easy access to even the highest frets. The lightweight chambered mahogany also enhances resonance for lively tone. Whether you're playing fast thrash metal riffs or soloing for hours, the GHSV-200's contoured mahogany body remains comfortable.
