The ESP LTD MH-400HT QM is a sleek, modern metal machine built for serious players who demand crushing tone, fast playability and rock-solid tuning stability. With its set-thru construction, active EMG pickups and fixed string-thru bridge, this MH Series workhorse is made to deliver tight rhythm work, searing leads and consistent performance night after night.

Visually, the MH-400HT QM is a real head-turner. The See Thru Black Sunburst finish lets the quilted maple top take centre stage, while the matching headstock and black hardware complete a dark, high-end aesthetic. Under the hood, a mahogany body and three-piece maple neck provide a powerful, focused voice with plenty of sustain, perfectly matched to the aggressive character of the EMG 81 and 85 pickups.

Playability is front and centre thanks to the extra thin U neck profile, 350 mm radius rosewood fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets. The result is a neck that feels fast and effortless under the fingers, ideal for technical riffing, big bends and fluid legato. Combined with the LTD locking tuners and fixed bridge with string-thru design, you get a guitar that stays in tune and feels precise, even under heavy playing styles.

Whether you are chugging tight low-end riffs, cutting through the mix with articulate leads or dialling in glassy cleans, the MH-400HT QM gives you the tools to do it all with confidence. It is a focused, no-nonsense instrument aimed squarely at modern rock and metal players who want pro-level performance without compromise.

EMG 81/85 Active Pickups

The classic EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck combination delivers high-output, ultra-tight tone with exceptional clarity. Palm-muted riffs stay punchy and defined, while leads cut through dense mixes with ease. The active design keeps noise to a minimum and ensures a consistent, powerful signal that responds well to high-gain amps and pedals.

Set-Thru Construction and Mahogany Body

Set-thru construction enhances sustain and upper-fret access by creating a strong, seamless connection between neck and body. Paired with a mahogany body, you get a thick, rich core tone with plenty of midrange presence, helping your sound stay full and authoritative on stage or in the studio.

Fixed Bridge with String-Thru Design

The LTD fixed bridge with string-thru body layout offers rock-solid tuning stability and excellent sustain. With fewer moving parts than a tremolo system, it is simple to set up, reliable under aggressive playing and ideal for players who want a tight, focused feel and consistent intonation.

Fast Extra Thin U Neck and 24 XJ Frets

The three-piece maple neck with extra thin U profile and 350 mm radius rosewood fingerboard is built for speed and comfort. Combined with 24 extra-jumbo frets, it makes fast runs, wide bends and complex chords feel effortless, giving you full access to the entire fretboard for modern, technical playing styles.
