Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized ESP dealer

The upscale MH400NT is absolutely packed with features. For starters, this is a set neck instrument with a quilted maple top and EMG humbuckers. Killer, right? Well there's more. The NT is built with the innovative Earvana Compensated Nut for more exact intonation and tuning across the neck. Its Set-Thru neck joint gives you the look and feel of a neck-thru design, with the warmth and true wood tone of a set neck. It's glassy-smooth and extremely comfortable. Other features include that awesome quilted top, a mahogany body, a 3-piece maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard (XJ frets), a Tune-o-matic bridge with string-thru-body, black hardware including Grover tuners, and cool, offset neck inlays. It's a lot of guitar for the money.

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.

Double Action Truss Rods
All ESP/LTD guitars and basses feature a 'double-action' truss rod design. Unlike a normal (single) truss rod, this one is adjustable in two different directions. This means that you'll never run into a situation where the neck has 'run out of adjustment'. Regardless of which ESP model you choose, you'll get years and years of playing enjoyment.

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. zZounds is an authorized dealer of ESP products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "THE BEST GUITAR EVER!!!! The price, workmanship, sound and look."

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! Feature: 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 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. Overall: 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.

Style of Music: All kinds of metal, basically anything that rocks!

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "One word... GORGEOUS GUITAR"

Sound: The EMG 81/85 pickups are incredible. Ill never go back to passive pickups. Feature: The grover tuners work great, and the 3-way selector switch operates very smoothly. Ease of Use: Extremely easy to play on, the pinch harmonics just flow out of this thing. Quality: I noticed a few minor blemishes when I got the guitar. The inlay at the 20th fret has a small chip in it, and the edges are a little sloppy where the wood meets the binding. Other than that its a beautiful guitar. Value: great value for a mid-grade guitar. The EMG's and the quilted maple body are top notch. Manufacturer Support: My guitar was backored, and Esp took FOREVER to fulfill their order, I had to wait over 2 months for my guitar to finally ship. The Wow Factor: The picture on the site makes it look really bad, but when I opened the box I couldnt believe how gorgeous the guitar was. And to my suprise, instead of natural binding on the body, it came with white binding, which Im happy it did, because I didnt like the natural binding. Overall: I definitely plan to keep this guitar for a long time. As for adding anything? It doesnt need a thing.

Style of Music: Metal/Power Metal/Gothic Metal
