Hit Your Amp with Serious Tonal Aggression
With the ESP LTD EC-401, you're primed for pure rock and metal fury. This solidbody’s single-cut profile, set-neck design, and mahogany body dish out serious sustain while allowing unimpeded upper-fret access. From chiming cleans to growling high-gain tones, active EMG 81 and 60 humbuckers span the sonic gamut, delivering high-output response and superb top-end articulation. Next, the mahogany neck’s Thin U contour dovetails with a rosewood fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets to facilitate all manner of high-octane fretboard finesse. Beyond that, you get a sturdy set of Grover tuning machines and a classic 2-piece TOM-style bridge. Classic in style yet ready to dish out crushing tone when required, the LTD EC-401 puts legendary ESP tone and performance at your fingertips.
Note: This is a Dent and Scratch model, which means we have inspected the instrument for structural issues, but there could be minor cosmetic flaws present that do not affect playability. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have any questions.
