Product Description

Offering great tone with unmatched design, the ESP LTD EC-401VF Electric Guitar has many of the same features as the EC401, but adds a flamed maple top, chrome hardware and Seymour Duncan Pickups (JB/'59).

The ESP LTD EC-401VF's easy play, bound 3 piece mahogany set neck with rosewood fretboard on a bound mahogany body provides excellent resonance and sustain. A 24.75 inch scale for note bending and cutaway design for easily reaching the upper frets increase playability. The EC-401VF's fingerboard has eyecatching flag inlays while Grover tuners and an Earvana Compensated Nut ensure reliable tuning across the note range.

All in all, the ESP LTD EC-401VF is an affordable professional single cut guitar with highly versatile, powerful Seymour Duncan tones, reliable hardware and tidy, attractive looks. zZounds is an authorized dealer of ESP products.

ESP LTD EC-401VF Guitar Customer Review
Sound: I just got this one Saturday morning...I played a gig with it that night. The sound is warm and pure through my Fender Deluxe. I own a Strat,Gibson and and Epi and this thing made me leave them home. I only raised the neck pickup...it was that ready to play. I have 25+ years of professional gigging under my belt and was blown away. Feature: I give it a 9 because it didn't include a case. However at this price point I gladly bought onel separately. Ease of Use: The tone on this runs from babe to beast. It can be mellow but when I cranked it for solos it pushed through the mix with no problems. Quality: I was suprised that this level of playability could be bought for so little. Iwent into the store hoping to pick up a spare axe and it moved my more expensive/popular axes to the background. Value: Most bang for the buck I've touched in many years. I'd have paid twice as much for it! Manufacturer Support: The warranty looks good but I haven't needed support. The Wow Factor: Get yourself one...if you like the look and feel of a Les Paul, you'll want this and you can buy two for the price of the Gibson. Overall: Look...this axe is as versatile as they come...hot pickups, great action, and sturdy. Tonally it is rich and loud as required.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Best Les Paul copy for under $1,000"
Sound: Beautiful guitar with no blemishes, I own a Gibson Les Paul Standard 1989 and this ESP really is almost as good and cost 1/4 the price. Grover tuners and jumbo frets with the Seymour Duncan pickups instead of the EMG actives make this a rare guitar for the ESP or Schecter crowd. I own several guitars in this price range such as the Paul Reed Smith SE Custom and the Ibanez Artist 420 but this ESP seems slightly more solid in build quality. The ESP has a narrow thinner neck than my 1989 Gibson.
Style of Music: blues rock and jazz

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
