MH400 Yay or Nay?

[~BURNY~]

Cons:
I think it's fugly
Fuck the tremolo
I'd rather buy a baritone

Pros:
It seems to sound good if not great
300 fucking euros (It's in mint condition)

Yeah the floor needs some cleaning...

What would you do? :zombie::Smokin:

Uh. I've played various 400-series LTD's and have owned one for, what, four years or so. For the price they're excellent axes. For 300 euros I'd definitely snatch it.

I owned the string through version of this axe (MH-400NT) and it was a nice guitar.

I currently have 2 301 LTD's (think 400 series without EMG's stock), a 500 series sig (think 600 with duncan designed's stock) and a couple true ESP's...My LTD's are rock solid. Obviously not as nice as the ESP's, but great for the price.

Another 400 and up LTD lover here! However, I wouldn't wanna deal with the subpar ESP LTD Floyd knockoff, so I say nay

 

[R-Stuur]

That finish is gorgeous though

That could be partly solved with a blackbox system.
Anyway, I'm going to down tune it to get a better idea of how it sounds.

Just made a shitty overgained three chords test clip in standard tuning through my JCM 900 for what it worth.

Maybe I've just had a bad experience with LTD 400. Time to go to the store and change my opinion.

My friend across the street has a Viper 301 with an EMG 81 in the bridge and it's a really nice axe, too. I also had an EX-351 and with different pups it would've been great. I just didn't like the body shape so I sold it

Yeah because my EC-1000 is a piece of junk, right?

[Metaltastic]

Well, you're the only one who's played it, how would we know?

 

[Force666]

Those guits are pretty sexy. But, I really don't like the fret-markers. Fortunatly the ESP licensed floyd routes are supposedly drop-ins for Original Floyd Trems. I have a KH500 that I want to get a Floyd (genuine) for.

 

[KeithTidd]

i have an mh300 and it's tits. I had to upgrade the pickups and floyd though. It sounds so thick and smooth.

Unfortunately mine was...

 

[006]

That suxxxxx. Ordered mine through an online dealer, sight-unseen and never even picked one up before I ordered it. It has been nothing but a fantastic guitar to me. Definitely a lifelong axe.

[Soundlurker]

Looks and sounds great, IMO but then again I play a Jackson Dinky

 

[blags]

I have MH 400 NT version of this guitar.It sounds great,plays great except

But thats just my piece i believe.I`m aware that two indentical LTD`s can differ in building quality.Besides this minor annoyance guitar is great.
300 euros?It seems like a good deal to me.New one in my country costs around 800 euros.

 

[Jaymz]

LTD makes no difference, its still a quality guitar, the only thing I would think about is replacing the FR for an original. Besides that if the price is right go for it!
