All user reviews for the LTD EX-400

This is Made in core like all these ptites LTD, however, has not cardboard!
The handle is a handle al Rosewood, the body is solid mahogany (and apse) and the plate is in matt black aluminum. Channel 22 frets, bridge tune-o-matic, two EMG81, compensatory Earvana nut, a tone volume and slecteur 3 positions ... spcial compartment for the battery
The handle is varnished and body-neck junction dlicate if we believe that it is made of one pice ...

USE

The lacquer handle is very pleasant Althoughthe dconcertant at the beginning, its shape because the last boxes are accessible without problem.
It is quite heavy (5kg) and looks a little ct handle, hence the need for a leather strap.
The sound is powerful, clear, and warm prcis, we feel the density of mahogany and potato EMG ...

SONORITS

I do a lot of Metallica, and this guitar is perfect, and I doubt you could find more adapted this budget. This is THE guitar fan of james.
I use a ME-50 on a branch with a sound equalizer paramtrique, and has all the distos are possible, I never approch me too prs of his Master.
Clearly, the gross dplaire some who will say that it lacks warmth finally with two 81 Not surprisingly, however, with the chorus lightweight sonorits we do everything gets " The Thing That shoulds not be "for example ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have since January, and I'm afraid to use it not to the user. The aluminum plate is a very pleasant texture, I do not get tired of looking at it. I had to buy it without trying it, diffcult to find in France I had to order it, but I'm not dcu.
This is a very good quality guitar with a modest price for all its qualities, a choice I would do without hsiter.
The ngatif point of trslgers problems finishing at certain junctions but very discreet ...

You can find all the information below ncessaires.

The only difference mine has compared to others is that I painted the steel plate in white, finding that black on black making too monochrome.

LTD is a manufacture so everything is correct, but it seems a bit fragile. I reu used with most of the "spikes" by exploring the form of dpourvus varnish, even wood. Is it a weakness of the mark or a sudden my dear seller? I can not ever.

UTILIZATION

The handle is not enjoyable trs. I certainly never could touch Jackson, but by comparing moultes vidos I could reach the conclusion that ESP sleeves, or at least, LTD, taient much longer. Thus, I sometimes some problem for a few slides of agreements, the handle n'tant too late.

Ergonomics is, I think trs good as long as you do not mind dpenser ten euros. The entire guitar is not so heavy that was, even if it can RVer better, but most important is that to make a hole between the handle and the body of the guitar can balance all over the body. Thus, more "round itchy nose", which is indescribably more convenient!

Access in acute poses no problem living in "studio" quietly in a chair. Note that we will reach the diffficilement 21me hoop live condition.

The good sound ... The easy do you get? Instinctively I would say yes, because my Previous guitar a silent LTD F-100. However, APRS several months of use, I feel that this guitar in short "medium-high" range does not fully take advantage of EMG. Note that I have had several working expriences in terms of amps, which may be influenced me ...

SOUNDS

Obviously it suits the style of music Metal, since we can safely say it is for a.

I get a big sound, trying to concentrate on my POD Dual tone: two of my guitar sounds, a left and a right to add ct "immersive" and "wall-o-guitar" ncssite that this kind of music.
So I play mostly with a POD X3 Live, even if I could also test it with:
- A 120 Peavey Transformer
- A cheap amp + an MXR Dimebag

TRS is a convincing, even if it will perhaps be too likely to want to cut the middles of the amp to make the sound heavier.
The neck pickup is, I think unplayable in distortion, it is that we use to clean these interludes Chres to us, it works well also trs this.

I put here 6 / 10 because I feel that the guitar does not lche the full potential of EMG.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for ending for a year and is currently my 3rd guitar, but especially my Premire in the middle range.
It is also my Premire explore, which I love, I see myself playing with something else. Strictly speaking, an atypical MODEL Flying V, but my musical personality is REALLY that through exploring.

The report qualitprix is ​​perfect, since I bought it used, if I cared, I would that make a small concession to sell almost 50 to the same price I bought it!

But I'm a terrible disease undergoing GAS * laughs *. I'll let you look on the internet what it is, but let's say that I would do concrtement not have that choice, the guitar gave me most want both now Snakebyte.

The 7 / 10 corresponds to the CRITERIA "Good". Indeed, this guitar is good, obviously, but I think it does not MRIT honntement 8 / 10 is that the "trs good."

UTILIZATION

This is a neat guitar from ESP. I'm not terribly into big, angular, metal guitars, but this is actually a decent instrument. The guitar balances well, yet is on the heavy side. Unfortunately, due to the size and shape of this axe, it is easy to accidentally bang into the wall, door, chair, other guitars... It plays very well - the 24.75 inch scale is a good feel, with the strings having a bit more "give" to them than others. The neck has a good profile - a bit chunkier than I would have liked, but still, the neck felt nice, and I could lower the action to a great, highly playable height.

SOUNDS

Performance-wise, this guitar excels in the tonal category. The pickups from EMG are more versatile than the look of the guitar would indicate. I could get nice blues tones, chugging metal, classic rock, a convincing chicken-pickin' tone, and even some buttery jazz tones from the neck pickup. The crisp, sheer output from these pickups means they take to effects very well. I would have preferred some kind of coil tap for added sounds, but what sounds that are available are quite nice.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a nice guitar overall. It's not for me - I can't hang with the big, pointy guitar look. I feel that they are too gaudy, and I want an instrument that I could take to any situation and feel at home. However, looks aside, this is a good axe, and for people that don't mind looking like a medieval warrior when playing a gig, this is a guitar they'd dig.

# Mahogany body with plate "Black Diamond".
Channel # 22 al 3 pices mahogany boxes.
# Rosewood fingerboard, Jumbo frets.
# Incorporated by "point", mother of pearl, inlaid with the name of the MODEL 12th box.
# 1 micro and 1 EMG-81 EMG-60, electronic active.
# Mcaniques oil bath and compensated saddle.
# Black hardware.

Why are we going to do more of these 24 has the MODELS? for me it's worth one point less.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a practice allows easy ACCS up around 20 frets. the guitar is a bit too heavy but the sound is the height.

SOUNDS

It is suitable for the metal genre, it can easily be coupled with pedals (those of a microphone) is niquel!

OVERALL OPINION

TRS is a good guitar, just the plate a little too expensive, not because the model has the same CHARACTERISTICS.

What country does she makes? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)

Guitar Coren, (like all I prcise LTD) ESP as Japanese.

How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?

22 Frets, 2 EMG active (battery slot. I Verify there is one 9-volt battery) for APRS two sources are 81 or 81 and 60 (site esp )

Speaking of the battery has lach APRS year. We notice a car clean sounds are no longer at all.

What rglages (volume, Tone slecteur micro ...)?

A slecteur three positions, a selector and a volume Tone (black each)

What type of race?

Channel trs flat (not as much as some Ibanez), fairly strait, varnished, glued Excellent, lightweight, trs beau ...

Edit: Also note that one can perfectly rgler string height and height of the pickups and it's great.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it enjoyable?

The handle is more than enjoyable trs.

Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy?

Access in acute is perfect until the 17 lightweight APRS becomes more difficult but much easier than on a Strato. on the other hand, if like me you play with the bass guitar trs lgrement becomes harder. After the 20 th fret has become quite the trs that difficult to play.

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

Ergonomics issue is paradise: Lgre (really trs) easily handled the game is really simple even if one takes the guitar low trs.

Do you get a good sound easy?

Level one is really his bluff: everything sounds perfect ... Sanatarium (Metallica) I t poustoufl. A serious distortion level Arache also: Touf it right, Burin tab and it is the Apocalypse.
The range of the trs is large thanks to the tonal and two microphones.

Edit: I tested the guitar by lowering the string height up and dsaccordant in Dropped D. It's hard as a. ..

SOUNDS

Appropriate are your style of music?

My style: METALLICA (like b) and, indeed, was ideal ... It should also mtal Symphony, and the death mtal mtal Gothic. Finally just to see what groups are playing with esp and understood.

Edit: I'm heading more towards the symphonic and the guitar follows me perfectly.

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

I play a marshall out of another age (Master Lead Combo that is marked above) a 30 watts but I soupsonne more powerful.

Edit: I now play with pedals digitec but I just base my opinion on the marshall esp guitar to compare with my old Start (75 white product sold, another world: D).

Edit: I now have a Line 6 Flextone III (which is largely supprieur my pedals and my amp) and sounds ... has no more words ... All styles, all sounds, EVERYONE.

What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

The sound is trsmtal, no parasytes, clean sounds are great although sometimes it is often sound too round (but I lack of experience in the game world clear) (lacking a central micro but I'm glad it is not the I heute all the time with my tab). Otherwise the microphones, the volume and Tone offers a wide range of sounds to me trs all styles (although I still mainly in all types of mtals)

OVERALL OPINION

I play it for 1 year, for me it is a godsend. It's been a year since I have a jur m'tais ESP LTD EX j'esprais a base 200. Here I am with the 400 BD: D
This guitar is great it sounds wonderful it was well in hand.
For me as a fan of Metallica a must.

I never jou above before buying by interning (I had a 789: p. I note that the price increases the same o I bought it) and I really regret it, I buy it back with eyes closed and I play twice before.

- So ... Here we are dealing with a Korean (like all LTD)
- 22 extra jumbo frets, active electronics Micros: 1 EMG 81 in neck position and an EMG 60 in bridge position
- Fixed Bridge Tune-o-Matic
- A volume knob and a tone control, 3 position pickup selector
- End characteristic in neck and ESP models, the joint shaft / body is a model of fine ^ ^
9 J'mets because perfection is not of this world (quoique. ..) XD

UTILIZATION

- The handle is very nice, a real velvet!
- Access to treble is very simple because of the shape of the guitar (although one can doubt it)
- This is a super light scratches! (Jdois even specify when I had an Epiphone Explorer before buying this one ... and it was a cinder block), the form is not a pb individuals, except that it has little tendency to look next round .
- Is simple: the big slap in the mouth thanks to emg =)

SOUNDS

- I play mostly Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth and this is the ultimate.
- It is connected to a spider II 212 (yeah when we can not afford to pay of the lamp: /) but it's more than enough pr to get a big sound.
- The distortion in the neck position is simply phenomenal! we feel the potato 81, each note is distinct, it's the microphone soloist thrash. In the bridge position with clean, it's just as good, add a little chorus and you can get out the handkerchiefs XD (style sanitarium, or arpeggio Phantom Lord).

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 2 months now (although jfaisais shit or the seller of the store I bought pr the "try" every week until you have enough money: p)
- I absolutely love everything in this skyscraper, being ultra fan of Metallica, it's really a must for any self-respecting fan.
- G hanging around a year before I pay, CT this one and not another and I would do the same choice with eyes closed

Guitar made in Korea
Mahogany body-plate "Black Diamond"
22-in neck 3-piece mahogany boxes
, Rosewood fingerboard, Jumbo frets.
Benchmark for "points" pearly incustés with model name at 12th fret.
EMG active pickups 81.électronique -2.
Mechanical-oil bath Grover
-Tune-o-Matic and compensated saddle "Earvana"
-Black hardware, 1 volume knob and one tone control, micro switch 3 positions)

On paper, everything looks great, has noted that the mine has 2 EMG 81 and not a 81 and a 60.

UTILIZATION

The handle is super-agréable.il is wide, has a D-shape that fits nicely in the hand, it is varnished and slides perfectly.
-Access to treble is excellent because of the set neck and the shape of the guitar, you reach the box without problèmes.par 22nd cons, if you play with the guitar low enough (like me) after the 20th case , it thickens a bit ...
-The interface is what caused me to scratch problem with this guitar début.La pitch down and there was no incentive to let go of the handle pain to hit your head anywhere, with a strap Leather the problem was fixed, so due to its light weight (about the same as my Lag AF200) and his killer look, I put a 10/10 (and again, I have not spoken of his comes out of this wonder for now ...)

SOUNDS

With EMG, no surprises at the rendezvous, CA SONNE!
Played on a Hartke Piggyback through a Rocktron SilverDragon, the sound is indescribably good!
In the realm of distos, the EMG 81 is in my opinion, the sound is powerful and roi.Le hyper accurate at the same time with a grain that I like (and I think the only one not). A must!
However, in his clear, it will be dethroned by other microphones that they will sound warmer and perhaps less saturate the EMG, in contrast, in a race or even intermediate, clear audio sounds very good I find, with a little chorus that sounds very great! it's so beautiful that the last time I nearly pay a little tear by causing some arpeggios.
In short, for distos, these pickups are excellent (I'm not talking about the blues but the disto disto nasty, heavy metal at least) in the clear, the guitar has beautiful tone, but in any case the EMG 81 n ' is not known for its clean sounds ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for Christmas and I must say that I am fully satisfait.Les lifts are excellent, they take great agreement and scratching sounds of hell I could test it before because it is rare, so I bought over the internet but I'm not disappointed with my purchase, I love everything about this guitar! The price / quality ratio is good for a skyscraper of this quality and then when you're a fan of Metallica. ..
With experience, this choice I would do without hesitation!
