ESP LTD EC-401 Olympic White Guitar B-Stock

ESP LTD EC-401 Olympic White Guitar B-Stock

The EC-401 sits right in the hand with a thin U-shaped neck and 24.75" scale that gives you fast, responsive playability—exactly what gigging musicians need when the stage demands precision and endurance. The Olympic White finish cuts through on stage, stays visually clean under lights, and avoids the fingerprint show-through that plagues darker finishes during long sets. B-stock here means cosmetic grading only—these unplayed instruments carry identical construction and tonal character to A-stock models, delivering serious value to players who refuse to sacrifice sound quality.

Construction & Hardware

Set-neck mahogany construction—solid mahogany body married to a mahogany neck—generates the resonance and sustain that professionals rely on night after night. Hardware is purpose-built: black nickel Grover tuners hold tuning stability through a full gig, TOM bridge and tailpiece anchor the instrument's tonal foundation, and the 42mm Earvana compensated nut corrects intonation across the fretboard, especially on the lower strings where standard nuts leave you fighting the physics.

Tone & Electronics

The EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60 neck active configuration cuts through a mix with articulate highs, punchy mids, and controlled lows—rock and metal staples that deliver live clarity. Active electronics maintain consistent output and kill noise floor issues, so your neck pickup stays articulate for rhythm work while the bridge locks in lead definition when you need it.
