Flutter and Divebomb With the Floyd Rose Tremolo

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.
