The ESP LTD FX400 Electric Guitar features a unique, eye-catching design which has helped ESP break out of the mold, the more extreme the better!
They’ve always been putting extreme components in their guitars and here are a few of them. Features includes a 5-piece mahogany and maple set-neck (rosewood fingerboard), an Earvana compensated nut for ultra-low action, 22 extra jumbo frets and EMG 81 and 60 Active pickups. The FX400 is finished off with a Spalted Maple Top to add an even more outrageous flavor.
Earvana Compensated Nut
ESP is proud to feature Earvana's innovative nut, which compensates each guitar string's length for more exact intonation across the neck. Your guitar will now be in tune wherever you finger a chord - and you will have achieved earvana.
Grover Tuners
High-quality Grover tuning machines are well known for their precise gear ratio, tuning stability and durability. They make a great complement to the other upscale features of ESP's 400-level instruments.
EMG Pickups
There truly is no comparison between active EMG's and conventional pickups. EMG's frequency response is shaped much differently. Conventional pickups typically exhibit a dry peaky frequency response, while EMG's have a much broader bandwidth that's better for harmonic pull-offs and chord definition. Individual notes have better presence and are dynamic. Playing styles are more pronounced and different techniques can be easily accommodated.
EMG-81
The EMG-81 is a high output pickup designed especially for the lead guitarist. The 81 is at its best for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. Whether you're playing power rock and roll, or overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible sustain for brilliant soloing. When you're looking for exceptional qualities in a rock pickup, the EMG-81 is the one.
