Description
Sound & Tone
The active EMG 81 in the bridge gives a tight, high-output attack with controlled feedback, while the EMG 85 at the neck fills out leads with a thicker, smoother voice; the mahogany body underneath keeps the low mids weighty rather than thin. The 25.5" scale, bolt-on neck and string-through hardtail bridge tighten string response and extend sustain, so fast riffing stays articulate and palm-muted passages stay defined. It's aimed squarely at metal, hard rock and modern progressive playing, with 24 extra-jumbo frets and a flat 350mm radius supporting shred lead work high up the neck.
ESP LTD TH-400 Electric Guitar – Scarlet Metallic
The TH-400 delivers a comfortable, fast playing experience with its thin U-contoured neck and 24 extra-jumbo frets, making extended range work feel natural and effortless. The bolt-on construction and 25.5" scale provide solid sustain and clear note articulation across the mahogany body. This is a professional-grade instrument built to handle aggressive playing styles without compromise.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece roasted maple neck resists humidity changes while delivering a smooth, responsive feel under the fingers. A 42mm molded nut and 350mm fingerboard radius on the rosewood fingerboard create a modern playing platform suited to contemporary techniques and fast lead work across all 24 extra-jumbo frets.
Tone & Live Performance
The active EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 85 neck pickup deliver articulate, high-output tones with controlled feedback and tight low-end response—exactly what you need on stage for clarity and punch. The LTD fixed hardtail bridge with string-through-body construction maximizes tonal transfer and sustain, while the straightforward Volume/Tone/3-way switch layout keeps signal path simple and direct for reliable performance.
