I considered three guitars (a Peavey Wolfgang, Music Man EVH, and an ESP Horizon) before I discovered the MH400-NT. The MH400-NT plays just as well as the other three, feels just as solid, is just as comfortable to play, is just as sexy and costs way less than either of the three. You can't beat it. And it has EMGs!!! I would only supplement it with a seven-string version of this guitar. ESP makes a six-string baritone version of this guitar, but I want all seven strings.

Sound
This guitar sounds better than most $1800+ guitars I've played. It's great for all types of musical styles from jazz to metal, plugged in or unplugged. Percussive rythmn playing is crystal clear, not muddy. Soloing is so good, so so good! The tone! Oh my, the tone!

Features
The components are top-notch. The grover tuners are extremely precise and when you tune your guitar, it stays in tune, especially in combination with the Earvana nut, tune-o-matic and string-thru-body. Never worry about bending a note out of tune. The mohagony body resonates for days, the quilted-maple top and the binding makes it look and feel like an overly expensive guitar. The only feature I wish it had is a selection of colors. Trans-black is great, but a trans-dark cherry or tiger-eye would make me drool.

Quality
This guitar will last forever (provided it is well taken care of). The workmanship and quality are top-notch, it feels like… read more a guitar hand-built in the USA that sells for three-times as much.

Value
This product is well-worth it's selling price. It's a diamond in the rough.

Manufacturer Support
Nope.

The Wow Factor
This guitar is so sexy it makes me drool just thinking about it. It is absolutely aesthetically beautiful. The binding, the choice of woods, quilted-top... the beautiful grain of the fret-board.
