Built for performance
Everything about the ESP LTD M-400HT solidbody electric guitar is engineered to deliver the fastest, most comfortable playing experience, with no extraneous additions to slow you down. The slab mahogany body delivers a warm, sustaining tone that’s a standard for hard rock guitars. Its deep forearm, back, and cutaway contours are expertly carved, creating a thin, lightweight design that’s immensely comfortable to play.
3-piece maple neck plays effortlessly
The M-400HT features a 3-piece bolt-on maple neck carved into LTD's Extra Thin U profile. The neck is just bulky enough to grab chords, but more than thin enough to stay out of your way during intense lead exploration. The back of the neck has a slick satin finish to help elevate your playing to new heights, and you'll love the classic feel of the rosewood fingerboard and extra-jumbo frets. You'll enjoy effortless playability from your first lick.
Relentless active EMG humbuckers
ESP understood the assignment when they chose the EMG-81 and EMG-85 combo for the LTD M-400HT. Arguably the most popular active humbucker pairing in metal history, these pickups have driven high-gain guitar tones since the ‘80s, powering the earliest iterations of the genre and remaining a top choice for countless guitarists today. The EMG-85 in the neck position is a muscular-sounding humbucker that is certain to drive your amp into the sweetest overdrive and distortion, and is at its best at high volumes. The EMG-81 in the bridge position delivers everything from a fat, thunderous growl to a metallic scream. Loaded with beefy ceramic magnets and close-aperture coils, this high-output humbucker boasts unyielding intensity and unparalleled detail, along with incredible high-end cut and fluid sustain.
