Who is the LTD Arrow-400 Electric Guitar for?

The LTD Arrow-400 is built for players who love aggressive music styles like metal and hard rock. Its distinctive arrow shape, powerful EMG active humbuckers, and Floyd Rose Special tremolo system make it perfect for shredding solos, heavy riffs, and expressive dive bombs. The fast-playing Extra Thin U neck profile and 24 extra jumbo frets also cater to technical guitarists.

What kind of sound do the EMG 81/85 pickups produce?

The LTD Arrow-400 features active EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck) humbuckers, renowned for their high output and clarity. The EMG 81 delivers searing leads and tight, articulate rhythms, while the EMG 85 offers a fatter, smoother tone ideal for powerful cleans or thick, vocal-like solos. Together, they provide a versatile palette for modern rock and metal.

What are the benefits of the Floyd Rose Special bridge?

The Floyd Rose Special bridge on the LTD Arrow-400 allows for extreme pitch bending, from subtle vibrato to dramatic dive bombs, without compromising tuning stability. Paired with the locking nut, it ensures your guitar stays in tune even after aggressive tremolo use. This system is essential for players who incorporate expressive whammy bar techniques into their playing.

How does the neck feel on the LTD Arrow-400?

The LTD Arrow-400 features a comfortable 3-piece maple neck with an Extra Thin U profile, designed for speed and effortless playability. Its 25.5-inch scale length and 24 extra jumbo frets make bending and fast runs feel smooth across the rosewood fingerboard. This neck design is ideal for guitarists who prioritize quick navigation and technical precision.

Does the LTD Arrow-400 include a case or gig bag?

No, the LTD Arrow-400 Electric Guitar does not come with a case or gig bag. These are sold separately to allow you to choose the best protection for your needs. Sweetwater offers a wide selection of cases and gig bags specifically designed to fit the unique shape of the Arrow series, ensuring your guitar stays safe.
