Product overview

About this model

The ESP LTD MH-400HT electric guitar delivers the fast feel, aggressive tone and refined construction that define the MH Series, built for players who need precision under pressure. Using set-thru construction at a 25.5" scale length, this electric guitar pairs a mahogany body with an arched quilted maple top and an extra-thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck for a balance of sustain, clarity and speed. Designed to handle modern rock and metal with confidence, the MH-400HT offers smooth upper-fret access and a controlled responsive playing experience across the entire neck. EMG 81 and 85 Pickups for Focused High-Gain Power The LTD MH-400HT is equipped with a classic EMG active pickup pairing, featuring an EMG 81 in the bridge position and an EMG 85 in the neck. The EMG 81 delivers tight low end, sharp attack and precise articulation that excels in high-gain rhythm work and cutting lead tones. The EMG 85 adds a warmer fuller response for fluid solos and expressive phrasing. Together, they provide a powerful reliable voice that stays clear and aggressive under heavy gain. Set-Thru Construction for Seamless Upper-Fret Access Set-thru construction allows the neck to extend deeper into the body, improving sustain while creating a smooth transition into the highest frets. This design makes extended lead work feel natural and unrestricted, while the 25.5" scale length maintains proper string tension for precise intonation and down-tuned performance. The result is a guitar that feels connected and stable even during demanding playing. Extra-Thin U Neck Built for Speed The extra-thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck is engineered for fast technical playing, offering a slim profile that supports quick position changes and long sessions without fatigue. A rosewood fingerboard fitted with 24 extra-jumbo frets provides a smooth forgiving surface for wide bends, rapid runs and confident vibrato. The reversed headstock helps maintain consistent string tension and reinforces the guitar’s performance-driven design. Fixed Hardtail Hardware for Stability and Sustain An LTD fixed bridge with string-thru-body construction anchors the MH-400HT, enhancing sustain and keeping tuning stable under aggressive picking. LTD locking tuners add reliability and make string changes quicker and more secure. This hardtail configuration delivers a direct solid feel under the picking hand, ideal for players who prefer consistency and precision over tremolo systems. A Performance-Focused ESP LTD Electric Guitar The ESP LTD MH-400HT electric guitar is built for musicians who demand speed, control and uncompromising tone. From its EMG pickup set and set-thru construction to its fast neck profile and stable hardtail bridge, every detail supports high-energy playing without distraction. Whether tracking in the studio or performing on stage, the MH-400HT delivers the authority, clarity and reliability expected from a modern electric guitar.
