ESP LTD's High-speed Twist on the Classic T-style Guitar
The ESP LTD TH-400 is built to shred with the best of them, supercharging the classic bolt-on, T-style formula with lightning-fast performance and high-power active sonics. From the belly cut to the neck joint’s curved contours, the TH-400’s body is sculpted to provide optimal comfort and playability. A 3-piece roasted maple neck in a speedy Thin U profile comes topped with a 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard and 24 XJ frets, offering effortless playability to shredders of all sorts with a seriously fast-playing feel in your palm. Next, EMG’s time-honored 81 and 85 active humbuckers infuse this 6-string with a fire-breathing, high-output flavor. You also get a sustain-enhancing string-thru fixed LTD bridge and LTD locking tuning machines to keep your setup stable throughout the entire set or session. It all adds up to an outstanding example of ESP LTD engineering that’s ready to serve as your go-to axe.
Robust and rigid roasted maple neck
Roasted to ensure the utmost stability, the ESP LTD TH-400's maple neck comes carved into a Thin U shape. It’s a perennial favorite profile among Sweetwater’s shredders and technique-heavy players for its slim, fast, and comfortable feel in your hands. Topside, you get a 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard coupled with 24 XJ frets, supplying a formidable foundation for extreme upper-register bends and lightning-fast licks.
EMG and ESP: historic heavy-metal haymakers unite
Considering ESP’s origins as a mélange of metal-minded mastery, it comes as no surprise that the ESP LTD TH-400 is stocked with a time-tested twinning of active EMG humbuckers: a bridge-mounted EMG 81 and a neck-mounted EMG 85. This beastly brace of brutality has outfitted the instruments of heavy metal maestros for decades, and this guitar is no different. Thanks to the ceramic magnets and close-aperture coils of the EMG 81, seamless sustain, incisive articulation, and heaps of high-end cut are on tap to ignite your most explosive and pulverizing performances. When you need to trade some treble for liquid leads and smoldering full-range heat, the Alnico V-driven EMG 85 is at your beck and call.
