Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Finished in See-Thru Black Sunburst, the EC-400 combines a mahogany body with a quilted maple top and white binding. Its set-thru, three-piece mahogany neck uses a Thin U profile, while the rosewood fingerboard carries 22 extra-jumbo frets. The active EMG layout puts an 85 humbucker in the neck position and an 81 at the bridge, managed by independent volume controls and a master tone. A fixed Tune-o-matic-style bridge and tailpiece rounds out a single-cut designed for players bringing high-gain rhythm definition and lead clarity to stage or studio sessions.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Stage and studio high-gain parts using the active EMG 81 bridge humbucker and EMG 85 neck humbucker.
  • Players who prefer a fixed Tune-o-matic-style bridge, two pickup volumes, and a master tone control.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Left-handed players; the listed orientation is right handed.
  • Players requiring 24 frets; this model is equipped with 22.
  • Players who want a tremolo system rather than a fixed bridge and tailpiece.
