Description
The ESP LTD Arrow-400 in Scarlet Metallic is a high-performance metal machine built for players who want aggressive looks, searing tones and rock-solid tuning stability. With its striking V-style Arrow body, active EMG pickups and Floyd Rose Special tremolo, it is purpose-built for modern metal, shred and high-gain playing where precision and attitude are everything.
From the ultra-fast Extra Thin U neck profile to the locking nut and Grover tuners, every element is designed to keep you playing faster, tighter and more accurately for longer. The mahogany body and set-neck construction deliver the sustain and punch you need for tight rhythm work and singing leads, while the EMG 81/85 pickup pairing gives you the clarity and power to cut through any mix.
The Scarlet Metallic finish with black hardware, black binding and sharp Arrow silhouette ensures you will stand out on stage. Whether you are riffing in low tunings, nailing divebombs or ripping through solos, the Arrow-400 gives you the confidence and control to perform at your best.
High-Output EMG Active Pickups
Loaded with an EMG 81 in the bridge and EMG 85 in the neck, the Arrow-400 delivers the classic active humbucker combination that has defined modern metal. Expect tight, focused low end, razor-sharp attack and singing sustain for leads, along with low noise and consistent response at any gain level. From palm-muted chugs to fluid legato, your sound stays clear and articulate.
Floyd Rose Special Tremolo System
The Floyd Rose Special bridge, paired with a locking nut, gives you expressive vibrato, divebombs and squeals while keeping your tuning locked in. Once set up, you can push the tremolo hard without worrying about pitch drifting, making it ideal for technical metal, shred and any style that demands extreme whammy bar work.
Fast Extra Thin U Neck
The 3-piece maple neck with an Extra Thin U profile and 24 extra-jumbo frets is built for speed and comfort. The slim carve makes complex chords and wide stretches easier, while the jumbo frets help you bend and vibrato with less effort. Combined with the smooth rosewood fingerboard and 350 mm radius, it is a neck that encourages fast, precise playing.
Striking Arrow Body in Scarlet Metallic
The bold Arrow body shape in Scarlet Metallic finish is made from mahogany for a powerful, full-bodied tone with excellent sustain. Black binding on the neck and headstock, black hardware and the sharp, aggressive outline give the guitar a commanding stage presence that perfectly matches its high-gain voice.
