A Modern Single-cut with EMG-powered Tone:

ESP’s EC-400 is a high-gain machine cut from the same cloth as its EC-1000 cousin, driven by the insanely popular combo of EMG-81 and EMG-85 pickups. With a mahogany single-cut body and set-through mahogany neck joining the tonal foundation, the EC-400 unleashes a bottomless well of high-output tone and resonant sustain.

The EC-400 features a TonePros locking TOM-style bridge/tailpiece and locking LTD tuners to give you precision intonation and stability. Factor in a modern-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets, and the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-400 from Sweetwater has all your bases covered for high-gain chugs, gravity-defying solos, and everything in between.


Single-cut body style blends classic looks with modern performance:

Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's LTD Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the EC-400 truly epic sustain, while its slightly arched top provides comfortable hand positioning, regardless of your playing style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway for unfettered access to all 22 frets, and with the EC-400 from Sweetwater, you're equipped for all manner of rock, metal, and shred tones.


Relentless active EMG humbuckers:

ESP understood the assignment when they chose the EMG-81 and EMG-85 combo for the EC-400. Arguably the most popular active humbucker pairing in metal’s history, these pickups have driven high-gain guitar tones since the ‘80s, powering the earliest iterations of the genre and remaining a top choice for countless guitarists today. The EMG-85 in the neck position is a muscular-sounding humbucker that is certain to drive your amp into the sweetest overdrive and distortion, and is at its best at high volumes. The EMG-81 in the bridge position delivers everything from a fat, thunderous growl to a metallic scream. Loaded with beefy ceramic magnets and close-aperture coils, this high-output humbucker boasts unyielding intensity and unparalleled detail, along with incredible high-end cut and fluid sustain.


TonePros bridge and LTD locking tuners:

Players who are particular about tuning, action, and intonation will delight in the EC-400's TOM-style TonePros bridge/tailpiece and locking LTD tuners. The TonePros is a common aftermarket upgrade on many single-cut guitars. Its six adjustable saddles provide precise intonation and enhanced sustain for chords and leads. At the other end of the guitar, a set of LTD locking tuners provides slip-free performance for stage and studio tuning stability you can depend on.
