Product Description

The ESP LTD XJ-2HT Duncan in Snow White is a sleek, modern hardtail guitar built for players who demand tight tracking, rock-solid tuning and crushing clarity. With a swamp ash body, roasted maple neck, Macassar ebony fingerboard and a set of Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, it is a precision tool for contemporary metal, prog and high-gain rock where every note needs to hit with definition and authority.

Its bolt-on construction and Thin U neck profile deliver a fast, familiar feel, while the 25.5 inch scale and XJ stainless steel frets make low tunings, big bends and rapid-fire runs feel effortless. Add in a Hipshot string-through bridge and LTD locking tuners, and you get a no-nonsense workhorse that stays in tune and responds instantly to your playing. Finished in crisp Snow White with black block inlays and matching headstock, the XJ-2HT Duncan looks as sharp as it sounds.

Modern Metal Powerhouse

Designed around the needs of modern heavy players, the XJ-2HT Duncan pairs a resonant swamp ash body with ultra-precise hardware and cutting-edge electronics. The result is a guitar that stays tight under extreme gain, cuts through dense mixes and still offers enough versatility for cleans, leads and everything in between.

Fast, Comfortable Playability

The 3-piece roasted maple neck with Thin U profile and Macassar ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, fast-playing surface that feels immediately comfortable. A 350 mm fingerboard radius and 22 XJ stainless steel frets give you a low, controlled action with effortless bends and vibrato, ideal for technical riffing and expressive solo work.

Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Power

With Fishman Alnico Modern and Ceramic Modern 3-voice humbuckers in brushed stainless finishes, you get a huge palette of usable tones. From aggressive, tight high-gain sounds to articulate cleans and a third voice available via the push/pull volume control, these active pickups deliver low noise, massive output and exceptional clarity across the entire fretboard.

Stable, Stage-Ready Hardware

The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body construction maximises sustain and tuning stability, while LTD locking tuners make string changes quick and keep your tuning locked in during heavy playing. Combined with a black bone nut and solid bolt-on construction, the XJ-2HT Duncan is built to handle demanding live and studio use.

Features
  • Swamp Ash Body - Swamp ash provides a lively, resonant acoustic character with a tight low end and clear highs, helping your riffs stay defined and punchy even under high gain.
  • 3-Piece Roasted Maple Neck with Thin U Profile - The roasted maple construction improves stability and resistance to environmental changes, while the Thin U carve offers a fast, comfortable feel that suits both rhythm work and intricate lead playing.
  • Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Humbuckers - The Alnico neck and Ceramic bridge pickups deliver multiple distinct voicings, from saturated modern metal tones to articulate cleans, all with low noise and consistent response across the fretboard. Pulling the volume control engages the third voice for even more tonal flexibility.
  • Hipshot String-Through Hardtail Bridge and LTD Locking Tuners - This high-quality hardware combination ensures rock-solid tuning stability, excellent sustain and precise intonation, giving you the confidence to dig in hard without your guitar drifting out of tune.
