ESP LTD EC-400QM: Singlecut with active EMG power!
The ESP LTD EC-400QM combines the classic Singlecut silhouette with appointments designed for powerful rock and metal tones. Its quilted maple top adds striking grain, while two active EMG humbuckers define its electric voice. Part of the LTD 400 Series, this model pairs a fixed bridge with a Set-Thru neck joint, bringing together a traditional construction and easy access to the upper frets.
Mahogany and a smooth neck joint
The mahogany body is paired with a 3-piece mahogany neck and a rosewood fingerboard. The Set-Thru construction features a glued-in neck, and its contoured heel makes it easier to reach the upper frets. The slim Thin U profile, 24.75-inch scale length and 22 Extra Jumbo frets shape the playing feel. The EC-400QM is at home with more than just rhythm playing, offering a comfortable platform for extended solo passages too.
EMG 81 and EMG 85 with distinct tonal characters
The EMG 81 at the bridge uses ceramic magnets. Its detailed, bright character suits cutting leads and defined high-gain riffs. At the neck, the EMG 85 uses Alnico V magnets to provide a powerful, warmer contrast for singing solo lines. Use the 3-way switch to select either pickup individually or both together. Two volume controls allow independent level adjustments, while a shared tone control shapes the highs.
TOM bridge and LTD locking tuners
The fixed Tune-o-matic bridge with separate tailpiece keeps the design deliberately tremolo-free. LTD locking tuners secure the strings at the tuning posts and make string changes easier. This combination is ideal if you’re looking for a Singlecut with active pickups and straightforward controls. The figured top and binding on the body, neck and headstock complement the technical appointments with a distinctive EC look.
