Description
Sound & Tone
The EMG 81 in the bridge gives a tight, high-output attack with clear note separation for fast riffing and palm-muted chugs, while the EMG 85 in the neck fills out leads with a thicker, rounder voice. The mahogany body adds weight and sustain underneath, and the 25.5" scale plus string-thru hardtail keeps low tunings firm and defined. It's aimed squarely at modern rock and metal, particularly high-gain rhythm work and lead playing that needs clarity rather than vintage warmth.
ESP LTD TH-400 Electric Guitar in Charcoal Metallic
The TH-400 lands in your hands with a thin U neck contour and smooth roasted maple construction that begs to be played hard. This instrument pairs professional-grade components with practical affordability, delivering reliable performance night after night on stage or in the studio. The charcoal metallic finish cuts clean under stage lights while traditional hardware keeps things straightforward and road-ready.
Playability & Build Quality
A mahogany body married to a three-piece roasted maple neck gives this guitar the stability and sustain needed for extended gigs without fatigue. The 25.5" scale with 42mm nut width and thin U neck profile sits naturally in your grip, equally at home with standard chord voicings or aggressive lead work, while the 350mm fingerboard radius makes bending, vibrato, and fast passage work feel effortless across the rosewood fretboard.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck active humbucking pickups cut through a dense mix with aggressive, articulate attack and articulation—no mud, no phase issues. High output levels lock in perfectly for modern rock, metal, and high-gain territory. A straightforward Volume/Tone/3-way switch layout puts every control where muscle memory expects it, letting you focus on playing instead of hunting knobs.
