The ESP LTD TH-400 is a sleek, no-nonsense metal machine built for players who want crushing tone, rock-solid tuning stability and fast, effortless playability. With a mahogany body, roasted maple neck, EMG 81/85 active pickups and a string-through hardtail bridge, it is purpose-built for tight rhythm work, searing leads and modern high-gain sounds, all wrapped up in a stealthy Charcoal Metallic finish with matching headstock.
From the Thin U neck profile and extra-jumbo frets to the locking tuners and fixed bridge, every detail of the TH-400 is designed to keep you playing harder for longer with minimal fuss. Plug it into a high-gain amp and the EMGs deliver razor-sharp articulation and massive sustain, while the comfortable 25.5 inch scale and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard give you all the range you need for technical riffing and solos.
High-Output Active EMG Pickups
The classic EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck combination provides tight, aggressive rhythm tones and singing lead sounds with exceptional clarity. Their active design keeps noise to a minimum, even under extreme gain, so your chugs stay tight and your harmonics leap out of the mix.
Fast Thin U Neck and 24 XJ Frets
A 3-piece roasted maple neck with Thin U profile and 24 extra-jumbo frets on a rosewood fingerboard gives you a fast, modern playing surface that is ideal for shredding, big bends and complex chords. The 350 mm radius keeps things comfortable for both low action riffing and fluid lead work.
Stable Hardtail Bridge with String Through Body
The LTD fixed bridge with string-through body construction maximises sustain and tuning stability. Combined with LTD locking tuners and a moulded nut, you get a solid, reliable platform that stays in tune through aggressive picking and heavy riffing.
Stealthy Charcoal Metallic Aesthetic
The Charcoal Metallic finish with matching headstock and silver block inlays gives the TH-400 a modern, stage-ready look. Black hardware completes the stealthy aesthetic, making this guitar as visually striking as it is powerful sounding.
