The ESP LTD TH-400 in Scarlet Metallic is a slick, modern hardtail built for players who want crushing active tones, rock-solid tuning stability and fast, effortless playability. With its mahogany body, roasted maple neck, EMG 81/85 pickup set and LTD locking hardware, it is a no-nonsense performance machine that is equally at home on stage or in the studio.
From tight, palm-muted riffs to soaring leads, the TH-400 delivers the clarity, punch and sustain you need for contemporary rock and metal. A comfortable Thin U neck profile, extra-jumbo frets and a flat 350 mm fingerboard radius make complex chords and high-speed runs feel natural, while the fixed bridge with string-through design keeps everything locked in and resonant. Finished in a striking Scarlet Metallic with a matching headstock and bold silver block inlays, it looks every bit as aggressive as it sounds.
High-Output Active EMG Pickups
Loaded with an EMG 81 in the bridge and EMG 85 in the neck, the TH-400 delivers tight, articulate high-gain tones with plenty of output and definition. The 81 excels at razor-sharp rhythm work and cutting leads, while the 85 offers a thicker, more vocal character that is perfect for singing solos and powerful cleans. Together they provide a versatile, low-noise platform for modern heavy styles.
Fast Thin U Neck and Extra-Jumbo Frets
The 3-piece roasted maple neck features ESP LTDs Thin U profile, giving you a slim, comfortable feel that encourages speed and precision. Combined with 24 extra-jumbo frets and a 350 mm radius rosewood fingerboard, bends feel smooth, vibrato is easy to control and complex passages are easier to execute cleanly across the entire 25.5 inch scale.
Stable Hardtail Bridge with String-Through Body
The LTD fixed bridge with string-through-body construction maximises sustain and tuning stability. By anchoring the strings through the body, you get a more direct transfer of vibration into the mahogany, resulting in a tight, focused response that is ideal for down-tuned riffs and precise rhythm work.
Stage-Ready Looks and Reliable Hardware
The Scarlet Metallic finish with matching headstock gives the TH-400 a bold, eye-catching appearance under stage lights. Black hardware, silver block inlays and LTD locking tuners complete the modern aesthetic while ensuring quick, secure string changes and consistent tuning performance throughout your set.
