All user reviews for the LTD MH-400NT [2006-2008]

- In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
Japan I guess. :?

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
24 frets "XJ".
Micro EMG 81 (bridge) / EMG 85 (neck)

- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Fixed bridge / crossing

- What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
3 position selector.
1 volume knob
1 tone knob
Grovers mechanical oil bath

- What type of race?
Channel 3 pieces Maple / Rosewood

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
Bliss. I had an Ibanez RG270 and I was not out of place (it seems less wide but it is to be confirmed). It glides like margarine

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
No worries though I'm not a fan of the game at this level of the handle

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Light guitar that knows how to forget. As "strat-like" is quite ergonomic very pleasant. The balance is excellent and the guitar is perfect agreement.

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
Yes although it is typed "Rock" with his microphone configuration. But the EMG 85 is perfectly suited to clean sounds.
With distortion is a pure delight.
The harmonics are very good in 2 cases.

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
I play a little of all styles with a base rock and it's perfect!

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Played on an Ibanez Valbee with a host of effects

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
We can get all the possible sounds. The couple EMG 81/85 seems to me far more versatile than his reputation suggests. It is true that it is difficult to get a sound very clear but its crystalline ESP / LTD do not position themselves in this type of range so the user knows what to expect.

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Since a year or so.

- What is so special that you like best
The lightness and balance of the guitar.
The holding of the agreement.
A model for left-handed high quality without exceeding the threshold of € 1000.
The sound in full.

- What is so special that you like the least?
It is a bit limited in some registry but a change of configuration could easily micro level for this.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Not because I'm left-handed <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent. € 755 bought new in Productiv Musik (it is also no longer available).
The price seems to me representative of the quality of construction and that of the instrument.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Absolutely.

Thank you to ESP / LTD and left to think that in all price ranges. An excellent model to move up a gear and hit in quality.
For all this I put 10.
[edit 2 YEARS] <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Well, it's always so much happiness ... Absolutely nothing wrong, this guitar is aging well ... Some spitting at the knobs appeared after a year, but quickly and easily removed with a shot blowguns ... The neck has not moved (at least not significantly), this guitar is super stable, it ages well and will not leave me anytime soon (although I eye on an LTD EC-1000)

Everything has already been said

UTILIZATION

The handle: too narrow, I'm used to handle 7-string and log Gibson
Ergonomics: light but not very comfortable to wear, I think it is plastic, fisher price toy.
Access to acute: it is not fluid

SOUNDS

The sound is bof bof even for metal I think.
I'm not a fan of EMG that I find without biting cold. On my mesa that does not ring, it's empty.
I have 2 itch and 2 Dimarzio Gibson and it sounds really different.
In clean by going against it, I feel that slap. It sounds not too bad.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years, I bought on a whim.
I think it's a guitar made for a very demanding of his guitar sound. It has a good mouth and a good finish I think that's the only positive.
I find on the other hand still expensive for what it offers, for 200 € more can be found much better.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? Absolutely not!

OVERALL OPINION

LGT Hoping to have a jackson I found myself nose nose with the MH400 ... and I took a big slap lol. sounds of the beast gods of fires associated with Emg its wood driver. While I am good on a JCM900 but even on a small Marshall makes good.
Practical matter it is super light and my solliste KH602 with her because he is jealous after an hour he was back over!
if you like the frankly mtal is that you need the guitar

UTILIZATION

- Perfect neck for smooth sliding

- Incredible access to the upper frets!! The shape of the neck heel is great! Special note for shredders: you can play a B major scale in the upper octave!! I swear!!

- The guitar is light... light... LIGHT!!! It's so pleasant!! Very reliable machine heads: the guitar stays in tune! I've been playing in a melodic death metal band for over one year and I've had my MH400 six months. It made a huge difference! I previously owned a Washburn Xseries with active EMG 81 and 85 pickups and this high-quality guitar is a serious improvement!

- It's easy to get a good sound (see below)

SOUNDS

- It's perfect for my playing style... Just take it, plug it, set the maximum distortion, turn the knobs fully up and you're in paradise!

- My current setup: Boss NS-2 and ML-2 and it's amazing, except for a small feedback problem!! I set all controls of my ML-2 at 12 o'clock with a slight high boost and I get the Children of Bodom sound =P, then I set all NS-2 controls to max and it's just perfect! I'm waiting for the RH50T head and Harley Benton G412V speaker cabinet (which I've heard has a killer sound after some modifications) I ordered...

So, yes you'll easily get a very good sound!!

An accurate, warm and powerful sound with a powerful attack! A very compact and articulated sound for solos with the neck pickup!

www.myspace.com/eyesofharmony91 ( http://www.myspace.com/eyesofharmony91 ): all recordings were made with this MH400NT via a Tone Port UX-1 and a basic distortion!

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for six months. A store lent me this guitar for a live gig and it immediately blew me away. I felt at home with it!

I like most of all the neck, which is perfectly flat and very comfortable...

I tried out several guitars (Gibson and other LTD models) but they were more expensive and not so good...

Excellent value for money!!! This guitar comes very close to an ESP!

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
