EX-401FR by ESP
Black

EX is among the most popular and recognizable ESP series. Its models fill the ESP and LTD catalogs alike, and aim to offer the classic heavy metal no-frills, no-filler experience. Usually, EX guitars come with a simple design, simple hardware and electronics options and top-notch build and playing qualities. In recent years, ESP and LTD catalogs have featured some of the best Explorer-shaped guitars ever made, almost blowing the Epiphone/Gibson original out of the water. EX-401FR is one of two 2016 updates for the LTD EX series. Active electronics, Floyd Rose bridge, short 24-3/4" scale and classic EX construction and design guarantee long years of faithful service. EX-401FR starts off with a solid and beveled mahogany body. The body (and the headstock) come in two variants - Black and Snow White (both finished in gloss and countered with black hardware). The neck is made of maple (three pieces) and is topped with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard (dot inlays, 1.65" molded nut and 13.77" radius). Just like its hardtail sibling, EX-401FR has EMG`s 81 in the bridge position and 60 in the neck. Controls unit also remained unchanged, featuring one volume, one tone and a three-way switch. Floyd Rose Special bridge and Grover tuners wrap the specs list up.
