{"product_id":"ltd-m-400-ht-scarlet-metallic-431205","title":"M-400 HT Scarlet Metallic","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn LTD M-400 HT: The \"Super-Strat\" DNA of the M series, performance-oriented\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLTD M\u003c\/strong\u003e series follows the tradition of \"Super-Strat\" guitars designed for the stage: easy access to high frets, modern ergonomics, and effective controls. This \u003cstrong\u003eM-400 HT\u003c\/strong\u003e focuses on what current guitarists seek: a build that withstands tight tunings, active electronics that remain clear under heavy distortion, and a set of sensations designed for fast playing. The choice of a \u003cstrong\u003efixed bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than a tremolo aligns with this: more simplicity, more stability, and a very direct attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the LTD M-400 HT Scarlet Metallic for? Styles, skill levels, and feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 6-string electric guitar primarily targets \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e guitarists who want a reliable instrument for loud rehearsals, clean recordings, and hassle-free live performances regarding tuning. The \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Thin U\u003c\/strong\u003e neck profile and \u003cstrong\u003e24 frets\u003c\/strong\u003e favor modern techniques (alternate picking, legato, tapping, sweeping) while remaining comfortable for heavy riffing low on the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of styles, the M-400 HT excels in \u003cstrong\u003emetal\u003c\/strong\u003e (thrash, death, metalcore, djent), \u003cstrong\u003ehard rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, and all aesthetics expecting dense yet clear distortion. It also produces firm and defined clean tones, useful for intros, arpeggios, or ambient passages, with a very \"hi-fi\" response typical of active pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and character: mahogany, roasted neck, and active EMGs for a tight and precise tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emahogany body\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a warm and solid sonic foundation, with generous low-mids that add weight to palm mutes and consistency to riffs. Combined with a \u003cstrong\u003efixed bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e and string-through design, it delivers a natural sustain feel and notes that \"hold\" well, particularly pleasant for both lead and rhythm playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebolt-on roasted maple neck\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes a sharper attack and better long-term stability. Roasting also tends to offer a drier and more precise response, ideal for maintaining definition under high gain. The \u003cstrong\u003erosewood fingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e slightly rounds the attack and adds a more musical quality in the highs, balancing a pickup set known for its incisiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEMG 81 (bridge) \/ EMG 85 (neck)\u003c\/strong\u003e pair is a benchmark for heavy tones: the EMG 81 delivers cutting rhythms with tight lows and excellent string separation, even in lower tunings. The EMG 85, rounder and thicker, offers singing leads, easy-to-get harmonics, and dense clean sounds. The \u003cstrong\u003e3-position selector\u003c\/strong\u003e allows quick switching from sharp to smooth tones, and the presence of \u003cstrong\u003e2 volume controls\u003c\/strong\u003e (one per pickup) makes level transitions very practical during playing, complemented by \u003cstrong\u003e1 tone control\u003c\/strong\u003e to tame or open the high frequencies depending on the amp and speaker cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlayability directly contributes to the sound: with a \u003cstrong\u003e350 mm \/ 13.78\"\u003c\/strong\u003e radius and \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Jumbo frets\u003c\/strong\u003e, bends are easy, the vibration is wide, and the fretting hand can remain light, helping maintain clean and enduring playing during long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended compatible accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo stay true to the original spirit, a set of \u003cstrong\u003e6-string electric guitar strings in 10-46 gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e fits perfectly (this is the factory-installed gauge). With the \u003cstrong\u003eactive\u003c\/strong\u003e electronics, also plan to carry a spare \u003cstrong\u003e9V battery\u003c\/strong\u003e in the case or gig bag. Finally, a good quality \u003cstrong\u003estandard instrument jack cable\u003c\/strong\u003e is a safe choice to preserve dynamics and reduce interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
