Product Description
The ESP LTD M-400HT in Scarlet Metallic is a sleek, no-nonsense metal machine built for players who want crushing tone, fast playability and rock-solid tuning stability. With its fixed bridge, active EMG pickups and ultra-comfortable Extra Thin U neck profile, it is designed to handle everything from tight, technical riffing to fluid, high-speed solos without breaking a sweat.
Loaded with the iconic EMG 81 and 85 active humbuckers, the M-400HT delivers the high output, razor-sharp attack and focused low end that modern rock and metal demand. A lightweight mahogany body, bolt-on roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard combine for a responsive, resonant feel, while the LTD locking tuners and string-through hardtail bridge keep your tuning locked in during the most aggressive performances.
The Scarlet Metallic finish and matching headstock give this guitar a bold, stage-ready look that stands out under the lights. With 24 extra-jumbo frets on a flat 350 mm radius board, upper fret access and big bends feel effortless, making it a superb choice for lead players who need speed and precision at every position on the neck.
Whether you are tightening up your rhythm chops, tracking in the studio or hitting the stage, the ESP LTD M-400HT Scarlet Metallic is a dependable, performance-focused workhorse that delivers powerful tone and slick playability in one streamlined package.
EMG 81/85 Active Pickups
The classic EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck combination provides searing high-gain tones with exceptional clarity and punch. Tight low end, cutting mids and smooth, singing sustain make this setup ideal for modern metal rhythms and articulate leads, while the low-noise active design keeps your sound focused and controlled.
Hardtail Stability with String-Through Design
The LTD fixed bridge with string-through-body construction offers excellent tuning stability and sustain. By anchoring the strings through the body, you get a more direct transfer of vibration, resulting in a tighter, more resonant feel that is perfect for palm-muted riffs and precise chugging.
Fast Extra Thin U Neck
The 3-piece roasted maple neck with an Extra Thin U profile is built for speed and comfort. Combined with the flat 350 mm radius rosewood fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets, it allows for low action, effortless position shifts and wide bends, making intricate runs and complex chords feel natural under the fingers.
Striking Scarlet Metallic Aesthetic
The bold Scarlet Metallic finish with matching headstock and black hardware gives the M-400HT a modern, aggressive look. It is a guitar that looks as powerful as it sounds, making it a standout choice for players who want their instrument to make a visual statement on stage.
