Description
Sound & Tone
The active EMG 81 in the bridge delivers tight, high-output attack with sharp note definition under heavy gain, while the EMG 85 in the neck fills out lead lines with a thicker, rounder voice. The arch-topped mahogany body and set-thru neck joint add warmth and long sustain beneath that clarity, and the 25.5" scale keeps low tunings and fast riffing well defined. With 24 extra-jumbo frets, a flat 350mm radius, and a Floyd Rose Special, it sits naturally in hard rock, metal, and modern shred styles that call for fast lead work and dive-bomb vibrato.
ESP LTD MH-400 Snow White/EMG Electric Guitar
The MH-400 is a stage-ready platform built for high-gain work and fast playing. Its thin U-shaped neck profile and extra-jumbo frets encourage speed and precision, while the arch-topped mahogany body with set-thru construction provides excellent sustain and resonance. This is a workhorse instrument designed for players who demand both playability and tonal authority in a gigging context.
Playability & Construction
The three-piece extra-thin U-shaped maple neck paired with a 350mm fingerboard radius and 24 extra-jumbo frets makes this guitar built for fast, fluid lead work on stage. The set-thru body construction maximizes neck-to-body contact, enhancing sustain and harmonic transfer while the arch-topped mahogany body contributes warmth and natural resonance to the overall tone—critical for cutting through a live mix.
Tone & Electronics
Active EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck pickups deliver aggressive, articulate tones with exceptional clarity and output—ideal for hard rock, metal, and modern styles where definition matters. The Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo provides stable, dramatic pitch manipulation while maintaining tuning integrity across aggressive whammy use, keeping the instrument performance-ready through a full set.
