Description
Sound & Tone
The EMG 81 in the bridge delivers tight, cutting high-gain attack with sharp note definition for fast riffing and palm-muted rhythm work, while the EMG 85 in the neck adds warmer, thicker mids for leads and sustained bends. A mahogany body and set-neck maple construction underpin that active voicing with solid low-end weight and long sustain, and the 25.5" scale keeps the strings taut and articulate under heavy distortion. With 24 extra-jumbo frets and a Floyd Rose Special for dive-bombs and vibrato, it's aimed squarely at metal, thrash, and shred players who need tuning stability during aggressive playing.
ESP LTD Arrow-400 Scarlet Metallic Electric Guitar
The Arrow-400 delivers a distinctly comfortable playing experience thanks to its extra thin U neck contour and set-neck construction, making it ideal for extended recording and overdub sessions without fatigue. This model combines aggressive aesthetics with genuine playability, housing versatile EMG pickups that capture both high-gain saturation and articulate tones for tracking and mixing. The Scarlet Metallic finish presents a refined, modern appearance suitable for studio work or stage performance.
Playability & Recording Response
The 3-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard provides excellent stability and a smooth playing surface across the 24 extra-jumbo frets. The 350mm radius fingerboard and extra thin U contour work together to reduce hand strain while maintaining precise intonation and quick position changes across the 25.5" scale, ensuring consistent takes and minimal re-recording.
Tone & Electronics
The dual EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck pickups provide aggressive high-end clarity for cutting leads and warm mids for balanced rhythm textures, controlled via a straightforward master volume and toggle switch layout. The Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo ensures tuning stability during aggressive vibrato work while the 42mm locking nut locks strings at the headstock for minimal slippage, keeping your tracking sessions locked in pitch.
