The ESP LTD M-400 is crafted with a bolt-on neck that is carved to elicit your fastest and most intense fretwork. The neck is carved from three pieces of maple. This construction helps maintain a great deal of stability. Its extra-thin flat profile is among the fastest-feeling in ESP's lineup. The neck is bolted to the mahogany body with a specially designed heel for easy access to all 24 frets. And the neck is capped with a rosewood fretboard, boasting binding and inlay work that is at once understated and aggressive.

You'll get to know the true personality of the ESP LTD M-400 as soon as you plug it in. A set of EMG's popular 85 and 81 active humbucking pickups offers up a high-output sound with plenty of top-end clarity and huge lows. These pickups are a favorite among metal players, and Sweetwater sells a ton of them for how well they push amps into tight-sounding distortion. Also, the simple to navigate control layout makes dialing in your tones intuitive and fast.
