Gary Holt is one of the select few guitarists who can say they’ve taken the helm of two of thrash metal’s most influential acts, and it takes a special kind of sonic arsenal to handle the heavyweight tones of both Exodus and Slayer. This is where Gary’s newest signature weapon comes into play: the ESP LTD Gary Holt GH-SV-200. From its selection of premium tonewoods to the high-octane pickups and wailing Floyd Rose tremolo, the Gary Holt GH-SV-200 is engineered to serve up a wealth of tonal flexibility in an instantly recognizable and aggressive form.Though the GH-SV-200 is nothing short of aesthetically striking, its sleek finish conceals a few tonally significant details that make this axe much more than a simple metal machine. Its mahogany body serves as an excellent anchor to the guitar’s profile, serving up harmonic-rich, dense mids with a balance throughout the lows and highs of the spectrum. This is doubly true for its use in the neck, adding resounding sustain to get even more mileage with every riff. ESP selected roasted jatoba for the fingerboard, which offers more projection and strong balance. The jatoba fingerboard is great for articulating every nuanced lick and riff.
