Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Scarlet Metallic, the M-400HT combines the flat-topped M/Mirage form with a bolt-on mahogany body, 25.5-inch scale, and thin U roasted-maple neck. The active EMG 81 at the bridge is aimed at defined, high-gain rhythm sounds, while the EMG 85 at the neck adds a warmer voice for leads. A fixed string-through-body hardtail, 24 extra-jumbo frets, and LTD locking tuners keep the design centered on controlled playing and dependable tuning.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Heavy rhythm sessions where a fixed bridge supports a direct, solid picking-hand response.
- Fast lead work using the thin U neck and 24 extra-jumbo frets.
- Studio or stage setups needing the distinct high-gain EMG 81 and EMG 85 pickup positions.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a tremolo-equipped guitar rather than fixed hardtail hardware.
