ESP LTD TE-401 Electric Guitar in Black Satin B-Stock

ESP LTD TE-401 Electric Guitar in Black Satin B-Stock

The TE-401 is built for gigging musicians who need reliable, punchy tone night after night. Its set-thru construction and thin U-contoured neck sit comfortably during long sets without hand fatigue. The mahogany body paired with active EMG pickups cuts through a live mix with tight, responsive character across rock, metal, and high-gain styles. At 25.5" scale with a rosewood fingerboard, it plays familiar and feels solid onstage. This B-stock unit offers full specification parity with new stock at a reduced price point.

Playability & Construction

The set-thru neck joint locks the strings' vibration directly into the body for maximum sustain and presence in a live setting. A 3-piece maple neck with thin U contour keeps the guitar stable and comfortable through entire gigs, while 24 XJ frets on a 350mm radius rosewood fingerboard make bending and chord work smooth across the full range—no dead spots to work around.

Tone & Electronics

The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG-60 neck pickup active electronics deliver high-output, low-noise response that cuts in a mix and handles heavy distortion without muddiness. The LTD fixed bridge with string-thru body design keeps tuning rock-solid through a full set by anchoring strings directly through the mahogany body, eliminating tuning drift onstage.
