The ESP LTD TH-400 electric guitar delivers a modern performance-driven take on a familiar single-cut shape, built for players who want clarity, stability and aggressive tone without unnecessary complexity. Constructed with bolt-on construction at a 25.5" scale length, the TH-400 pairs a mahogany body with a three-piece roasted maple neck for a tight controlled response that stays articulate under high gain. Designed to feel fast and dependable, this electric guitar is equally comfortable handling heavy rhythm work and precise lead playing.
EMG 81 and 85 Pickups for Focused High-Gain Power
The LTD TH-400 is equipped with a proven EMG active pickup pairing, featuring an EMG 81 in the bridge position and an EMG 85 in the neck. The EMG 81 delivers sharp attack, tight low end and clear articulation that excels in heavy rhythm playing and cutting lead tones. The EMG 85 adds a warmer smoother response in the neck position, making it well suited for fluid solos and expressive phrasing. Together, they provide consistent high-output performance that remains clear and controlled at extreme gain levels.
Fixed Hardtail Bridge With String-Thru Stability
An LTD fixed hardtail bridge with string-thru-body construction anchors the TH-400, enhancing sustain and maintaining accurate intonation. This setup provides a solid direct feel under the picking hand and removes the maintenance concerns of a tremolo system. The result is a guitar that stays locked in during aggressive playing and extended sessions.
Roasted Maple Neck Built for Speed and Consistency
The three-piece roasted maple neck offers increased stability and a fast broken-in feel that resists environmental changes over time. Roasting improves rigidity while keeping the response smooth and predictable. Its comfortable profile supports quick position changes and long playing sessions without fatigue.
Rosewood Fingerboard With Player-Focused Details
A rosewood fingerboard fitted with 24 extra-jumbo frets provides a smooth forgiving surface for wide bends, rapid runs and confident vibrato. Offset dot inlays keep position markers clear without distracting from the guitar’s clean design. The 25.5" scale length maintains proper string tension for standard and lowered tunings.
Reliable Hardware for Real-World Performance
LTD locking tuners help maintain tuning stability and make string changes faster and more secure. Black hardware and single-ply binding reinforce the guitar’s purposeful modern aesthetic while supporting durability for regular rehearsals, recording sessions and live use.
