LTD-V401B is one of many, many six-string novelties in ESP/LTD catalog for 2015. It is a part of ESP`s effort to seriously engage the market of baritone and extended range guitars. Among the six long-scale models introduced, this is the only six-stringed V. Simple, spacious and with a huge, huge tone, V-401B aims at the throne of the baritone segment. Solid, V-shaped body of this marvelous axe is made of mahogany back and a beveled maple top. Entire body, back of the neck and the entire headstock are clad in glossy black paint. Black nickel hardware and black pickup covers follow the theme, while the fingerboard inlays and white binding around the fingerboard and headstock give a nice contrast. Bridge section is a simple one with a lone tune-o-matic bridge with strings running through the body behind it. Being a long-scale guitar, V-401B needs some serious firepower if it is to challenge the behemoths of the baritone class. ESP has found the solution in a pair of EMG 81 pickups (one is installed in the bridge and the other in the neck position). Two volume knobs, one tone and a simple three-way toggle switch are installed along with these killer humbuckers. Maple neck features a set-thru joint and the standard thin U profile in the back. 24-fret rosewood fingerboard on its top and Grover tuners on the headstock wrap up the list of major features and specs.
