Hey, long time no see!That's a pretty good guitar, in the same price range the Charvel Joe Duplantier (Gojira) model looks really interesting as well. It's a telecaster shape as well. The pickups might be slightly better (Duncan Designed)I'm seriously considering getting one for 6 string low tuning
Hello, thank you for your video... it is very complete... Regarding the negative aspects, I do not consider that the guitar slips on my legs, especially if I wear jeans... (unless one is wearing cotton clothing, overweight and I have to play almost lying down... I play sitting down and especially standing up... About the pickups, I liked them a lot... Well, it's not an expensive guitar either. Can they be improved? without a doubt... there are hundreds of Seymour Duncan alternatives... But few guitars come with that brand as standard... and almost all of them, even high-end, if you are demanding, you will end up changing the pickups... That is, the stock pickups, they can always be improved... About reaching the high frets, I don't need that... Finally I think it is a great evolution to the traditional telecasters, with perfect cuts, a very comfortable radius and it is definitely the best guitar in that price range... Even now that I have it, it made me want to sell a Fender Mexicana and a PRS Koreana that I think I won't need anymore... It's the best guitar in that price range... Are there better ones? yes, but they are more expensive... Regards and thank you
I have this guitar in black and I love it. I'm a middle-aged beginner a few years into my guitar journey, had plenty of money to throw at a new guitar but after trying many guitars in lots of different stores over far too many months I settled on this TE-200 and I have absolutely no regrets. In the hands of my Grade 8 shredder friend this thing sings like an angel, proving that any bum sounds I get from it are just down to my crappy technique lol
i have that guitar too i do some Upgrade with Dimarzio Air Norton & Dimarzio Tone on the pickups, then switch the tuners with Gotoh locking tuners, and it's totally worth like you said:D IT SOUNDS FAR MORE DJENT THAN MY LTD EC-1000VB Thanks dude!!!!
I’m considering buying this guitar and i was wondering if it has a coil split? It doesn’t mention it on their website but i saw someone mention a coil tap in a review i watched. Thanks :)
I got one recently it doesnt have coil split. But I saw some reviews saying it does. I guess some models do and some models dont. Check with the seller before buying or you can add the coil split option after purchasing it.
Dude... Your review are the most extensive I have seen on YT. Thanks man... I am gonna get this for my next guitar. I honestly don't know how I have missed this TE200 when it appeared in the market, but maybe coz I was not interested in Tele shape guitars. Since now I do, and are torn between Jim Root's and the Tele HH, it seems the TE200 got 99% that I wanted from a white colored tele. Thanx man... u shd get a pay out from ESP LTD.... hehehehe...
i put Blackouts in mine. that still works when you manage the wiring in the small electronics cavity. i did however only install one volume knob to have room for the battery. Fishmans i think have more complex electronics and wiring. that might be a bit too tight.
@@ForTiorIJohnny Blackouts would be great too! With rumors of Mick Thomson going to Fishman, his signature blackouts would be a much more affordable option since they’ve gone down in price recently.
I've had a chance to shootout this guitar with my PRS se CU24 and Gibson SG. The LTD played and felt great! Neck and frets were spot on. Good balance and the finish was nice. The electronics and pickups are a good step or 2 below the PRS and Gibson. They pups on the te200 are pretty hot but kind of thin in comparison.
I'm torn between this and the John 5 squire Tele. Both about the same price. This has the colour and look I prefer, but the John 5 is an actual squire (almost fender!) Tele so has the classic Tele headstock as well. Sounds petty but I'm a stickler for that as well
I love telecaster looks but the sound is not versitale to have as an only guitar so this bad boy is a good compromise and the red paintjob version is just Noice.
Hi i wanna buy this guitar i rly like case look like jim root tele, and im gonna buy emg81tw to, i have 85 already gonna use 81tw on bridge and 85 on tthe neck is it worth? Or should i look for another guitar? And is it good for drop tunings?
I bought this guitar yesterday, I really like it! I am not amazed by the clean sound of those pickups tho so I'm going to change them does anyone have a suggestion for a thick metal sound but also a sweet old clean sound?
Hey Bro !! I am getting one myself too !! For the pickups... sinse its passive system.. i am going for Saymour duncan's Nazgul / sentient combo... those are very metal pickups with good diversity for cleans as well :)
wow, thanks. i don´t even consider myself that good. i need to really warm up and put some work into it to play decent. all i can say is keep at it and be patient. progressing guitar skills takes a lot of time and sometimes nerves :)
overall i like it a lot. the neck profile is a bit on the beefy side, but still very playable. two negs i have is the gloss finish on the neck, it can be a bit sticky. and it´s a bit neck heavy. otherwise solid guitar.
hey thanks. yes i still own it. i´ve since put seymour duncan invaders in it. i still play it a lot. it´s my drop b nasty riffage machine. plays great, sounds great, looks great, no complaints.
Dude i'm sold. Definitely my next purchase. Off topic question though - i remember you posted multitracks for one of your band's songs on a forum some time ago. The bass tone was unbelievable. Care to do a tutorial?
Happy to see you back ! I'm seriously looking to buy this one and I've been really surprised to see your face pop on top off my google search results =D Keep on rocking !
actually i wanted to get a Chapman ML3 first. but right when i wanted to order it it was out of stock and the next shipment is in two months. but now i think i like the black and white look of this one better anyways.
Hey Thanks for the video. I just got myself one of those. I was wondering which tuners, pickups you got? Did you change the nut? Thanks again Keep rocking!
@@ForTiorIJohnny which tuners did you go with? Any drilling? I just bought this guitar. Mine seems really twangy.. and the selector switch was cutting out in the neck position. I opened up the plate and moved the wires around basically. It stopped but I think it might have a wiring issue, it hums sometimes until I touch the strings.
Sounds like a good deal. :) You could always play it the way I do and you can reach all the frets. Upside down with the guitar still being strung for a right hander. So for me the low E string is on the bottom not the top.
@@ForTiorIJohnny May i know what gauges you are using?i'm using 11-56 in drop C for my TE-200 still with stock pikcups, the bass string doesn't sound clear. May i know if the invaders sounds clear specially with the bass strings?do you have sample using after your uprade? I'm torn between using invaders/nazgul or black winter.
i was actually considering that one, as well as the Chapman ML3 Modern Lunar. but then i stumbled across the LTD and thought it looked amazing. it´s like a crossover of Jim Roots and Mick Thomsons signatures.
ForTiorI yeah that is what I thought because I have played the mick Thomson signature ibanez mtm20 for a long time and I have also played my friend’s fender Jim root telecaster. This one I just tried out yesterday in the store and it is awesome. The only thing is that it has a finished neck which I absolutely hate. I sanded the neck down on my ibanez mtm20 though. What do you think of the neck?
No one else has said it so I will say it, fantastic playing man! Killer review as well!! Keep rocking greetings from Washington State
thanks a bunch. will do.

99% of your sound is in your fingers man. You can obviously make any guitar sound amazing. But man, that's hell of a beauty.

John: SPAZAZ!
¿how is this guitar compared to a squier jim root or squier J5?
The LTD has 24 frets and $100 more cheaper
The stock pickups were definetly scratchy and unclear. Can't wait to hear it with the new ones!
At least it has a fuckin belly cut. Sounds good and heavy out of the box to me. Don't despair people!
i have that guitar too
i do some Upgrade with Dimarzio Air Norton & Dimarzio Tone on the pickups, then switch the tuners with Gotoh locking tuners,
and it's totally worth like you said:D IT SOUNDS FAR MORE DJENT THAN MY LTD EC-1000VB
Thanks dude!!!!
Your body complaints are irrelevant if you play with a strap instead of having it on your lap

"Lower price range"
In my country it's 3000 bucks.
no its not you probably saw a different model or different brand

The TS-9 into the RAT seems like a bit much, but I use a SD-1 into a 250, so who am I to judge.
just the RAT was activated, though. i sometimes put those two pedals in the signal chain so i can quickly switch depending on what feel i want.
Cool, I just keep a SD-1 on my desk, so I can use it with any preset I want.

Just bought the LTD TE-200 really like the guitar but playing like you way out of my league absolutely awesome.
wow, thanks. i don´t even consider myself that good. i need to really warm up and put some work into it to play decent. all i can say is keep at it and be patient. progressing guitar skills takes a lot of time and sometimes nerves :)
Didn't you do another video on this? Like an update. Can't find it now.
made in what? that's original pickup? how with string size 12?
thank you
Cool! How did you feel with this LTD TE-200 dude? And how about neck and freetboard?
overall i like it a lot. the neck profile is a bit on the beefy side, but still very playable. two negs i have is the gloss finish on the neck, it can be a bit sticky. and it´s a bit neck heavy. otherwise solid guitar.
Fortiori quicly respon, thanks man! Do you recomend this guitar for my main weapon? For many gigs, maybe.
Excellent playing!! Nice guitar too! Do you still own it? Has it held up well or not? Thank you
hey thanks. yes i still own it. i´ve since put seymour duncan invaders in it. i still play it a lot. it´s my drop b nasty riffage machine. plays great, sounds great, looks great, no complaints.

Off topic question though - i remember you posted multitracks for one of your band's songs on a forum some time ago. The bass tone was unbelievable. Care to do a tutorial?
ok nevermind, just found a vid on your channel :)
You gotta get rid of the hiss in the distorted tone, the older amp modelers cannot replicate high gain tone
Does this still available online? I try to find it somewhere but couldnt find it..
i got mine from thomann. they should still have it.
Happy to see you back ! I'm seriously looking to buy this one and I've been really surprised to see your face pop on top off my google search results =D Keep on rocking !
Even for the pickups, that sounds pretty good. As for the fret access... Try a Chapman ML-3.
actually i wanted to get a Chapman ML3 first. but right when i wanted to order it it was out of stock and the next shipment is in two months. but now i think i like the black and white look of this one better anyways.
Hey Thanks for the video. I just got myself one of those. I was wondering which tuners, pickups you got? Did you change the nut? Thanks again Keep rocking!
i put Harley Benton locking tuners on it and Seymour Duncan Invaders. i didn´t change the nut.
@@ForTiorIJohnny Awesome! Thanks bud!
I know it's alredy two yaers old this video
But how well is the fret finish?
Does it feels like saw tooth or is it smooth?
the fret work is very good. very smooth edges and you can get the string action pretty low without buzzing.
Real body and neck binding?
I'm surprised, literally 👍🏻
Your hands are too big for its neck :v
Awesome bro.. Does it stay in tune?
yes, tuning stability is good. but i still switched to locking tuners. it´s just way more convenient.
ForTiorI thanx bro! Have a good Day!
@@ForTiorIJohnny which tuners did you go with? Any drilling? I just bought this guitar. Mine seems really twangy.. and the selector switch was cutting out in the neck position. I opened up the plate and moved the wires around basically. It stopped but I think it might have a wiring issue, it hums sometimes until I touch the strings.
Great guitar !!!!
Nice guitar mate. Are you preferring using impulses in TH3 these days to stock?
yes, i´m really into Ownhammer these days. TH3 + OH gives me my favorite tone right now.
preset on that clean tone pls, TH3
My friend wich whats is the name of the software that you use?
i used TH3 here for the guitar tones.
Thank you! Gonna but it!
Sounds like a good deal. :) You could always play it the way I do and you can reach all the frets. Upside down with the guitar still being strung for a right hander. So for me the low E string is on the bottom not the top.
I shriek when I see you upload John
Great review man!! May i know if you've upgraded ur pickups?
yes i did. i put Seymour Duncan Invaders in it, the white edition. looks and sounds rad.
@@ForTiorIJohnny Great man, I'll do the same then..Cheers!!

Yay, you're back!
Johnny it’s nice to see you on UA-cam again. Waiting for more frequently videos \m/
yeah, i hope in march i´ll have more time on my hands for more videos.
Hi does this have a satin neck
no, it´s gloss
@@ForTiorIJohnny thanks for the reply
How about the weight of that guitar? is it heavy? it looks heavy to me
yes, it has a bit more weight to it. i´d say it´s about the same as my 7-string.
how much weight is it?
Hey Johnny! May I ask what IR's you were using for the rhythm tones?
it´s a Mesa Oversized with V30´s from Ownhammer.
Distortion pedal works. What does the guitar sound like?

Glad to see you back!!! what happened!?
just too darn busy. i hope i´ll have more time again in march.
Hey man, how you finding the guitar after a few months with it? Changed pickups yet?
I bet u want a fender jim root signature guitar but cant afford it so you get this.

i´m also not a big fan of finished necks. but i can deal with it. i do like how it completes the all white look, though.
Did you make a video how it sounds with new pickups?
