ESP LTD Deluxe XJ-2HT Electric Guitar - Snow White

Designed for players who demand modern versatility without compromise, the ESP LTD Deluxe XJ-2HT delivers a refined balance of cutting-edge tone, fast playability and rock-solid reliability. This pro-grade instrument pairs the distinctive offset XJ body shape with premium tonewoods, advanced electronics and ultra-dependable hardware for a performance-ready platform that excels on stage and in the studio. A resonant swamp ash body, three-piece roasted maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard provide a responsive acoustic foundation, while versatile Fishman Fluence Modern 3-voice humbuckers and a Hipshot hardtail bridge ensure clarity, consistency and in-depth tonal control across every playing style.

Swamp Ash Body for Clarity, Balance and Resonant Response

The XJ-2HT features a resonant swamp ash body that delivers a clear, balanced tonal character with excellent note definition. Known for its tight low end, articulate midrange and crisp highs, swamp ash provides a dynamic foundation well suited for everything from pristine cleans to aggressive high-gain tones. The offset, asymmetrical XJ body shape enhances playing comfort whether seated or standing, while its lightweight feel supports long rehearsals, studio sessions and extended performances without fatigue. The result is a lively, responsive instrument with modern ergonomics and professional sonic depth.

Three-Piece Roasted Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Stability

A thin U-shaped three-piece roasted maple neck anchors the XJ-2HT’s fast, precise feel. The roasting process increases stability and resistance to environmental changes while enhancing snap and response. Bolt-on construction and a 25.5" scale length provide a familiar, articulate playing experience with strong attack and sustain. The Macassar ebony fingerboard adds clarity and smoothness under the fingers, while 22 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets allow effortless bends, fluid legato and long-lasting durability. Block pearloid inlays and a matching reverse headstock complete the guitar’s sleek, modern presentation.

Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Humbuckers for Expansive Tonal Control

At the heart of the XJ-2HT’s versatility is a pair of direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern 3-voice humbuckers, featuring a ceramic bridge pickup and an alnico neck pickup with brushed stainless covers. These advanced active pickups deliver multiple distinct voices, ranging from tight, aggressive high-gain tones to articulate mid-gain crunch and clear, dynamic cleans. A master volume with push/pull functionality allows instant access to each pickup’s three voicings without cluttering the control layout. The direct-mount design enhances resonance and attack, ensuring every note remains defined and responsive in any mix.

Hipshot Hardtail Bridge and LTD Locking Tuners for Precision and Reliability

The Deluxe XJ-2HT is equipped with a Hipshot hardtail bridge featuring a string-thru-body design for enhanced sustain, solid feel and accurate intonation. This setup delivers exceptional tuning stability and consistent response, even under aggressive playing. LTD locking tuners make string changes quick and secure while minimizing slippage, and a black bone nut ensures smooth string travel and reliable tuning performance. Finished with black hardware throughout, the guitar presents a cohesive, modern aesthetic that reflects its professional-grade build and performance-focused design.

Modern Performance Design for Demanding Players

The ESP LTD XJ-2HT combines forward-thinking design with premium materials and electronics to meet the needs of today’s serious musicians. Its swamp ash body, roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide a fast, articulate playing experience, while Fishman Fluence Modern pickups deliver unmatched tonal flexibility.
