ESP LTD M400 HT Electric Guitar - Scarlett Metallic

The ESP LTD M-400 HT Electric Guitar in Scarlett Metallic is a performance-oriented instrument built for modern rock and metal players. Its aggressive look is matched by a tone-focused design that thrives under high gain and demanding playing styles.

At its core is a solid mahogany body that delivers a rich, full low end with strong mids and sustain — perfect for tight rhythm work and punchy riffs. The 25.5" scale length and bolt-on construction provide balanced tension and clarity, making this guitar responsive and articulate across the entire neck.

The three-piece roasted maple neck with an Extra Thin U profile is built for speed and stability. Roasted maple resists temperature and humidity changes, while the rosewood fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets allow smooth bends, fast runs, and comfortable playing up and down the fretboard.

Tone comes from a powerful pair of active EMG humbuckers — an EMG 81 in the bridge for tight, cutting attack and aggressive rhythm tones, and an EMG 85 in the neck for warm, singing leads with great sustain. These high-output pickups stay clear and controlled even with high gain, making them ideal for metal, hard rock, and heavy styles.

Hardware includes an LTD fixed hardtail bridge with string-through-body design for enhanced sustain and tuning stability, and LTD locking tuners for reliable tuning performance and quick string changes. The clean control layout — volume, tone, and a 3-way switch — makes dialing in your sound fast and intuitive.

Visually, the Scarlett Metallic finish with matching headstock and sleek black hardware gives the guitar a bold stage presence that fits its powerful voice.
