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!

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.
