ESP LTD M-400HT Electric Guitar - Charcoal Metallic | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Built on the same player-centric foundation as the flagship M-1000HT, the ESP LTD M-400HT is an uncompromising EMG-loaded shred machine. Pairing a sleek, solid mahogany body with the classic EMG 81/85 combo, this lightweight instrument delivers hard-hitting tones perfect for rock, metal, and other high-octane genres. This guitar is built for players who want serious high-gain performance and rock-solid tuning stability in a fast-playing, shred-ready package.
Product Overview
The M-400HT's solid mahogany body creates a balanced tonal foundation, while a 3-piece maple neck with a satin finish and Extra Thin U profile has been universally praised by Sweetwater guitarists for encouraging adaptability and speed across the fretboard. A smooth rosewood fingerboard with offset block inlays and 24 extra jumbo frets gives players plenty of room to work, whether they're locking into rhythm parts or reaching for the highest notes on the neck. Active EMG 81 and EMG 85 humbuckers deliver a high-gain edge with the punch and clarity these pickups are known for, controlled through a simple volume, tone, and 3-way blade switch layout. An LTD hardtail bridge paired with LTD locking tuners rounds out the package, offering impressive tuning stability every time players tune up.
