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.
