ESP LTD ARROW-401, Black

Full Description

Aggressive, energetic sound

Power. The number one quality you're looking for in a hard rock instrument. You need a guitar that will allow you to deliver your sound with roaring aggression and unparalleled energy. The guitar you need is the ESP Arrow-401.

A magnificent pair of active, high output EMG pickups gives you an electronic setup capable of producing the dynamic sound you're looking for. A supremely powerful EMG 81 bridge pickup allows you to play with invigorating intensity, delivering a bold, low-end growl. This is paired with an EMG 85 neck pickup. Exhilarating and exciting, this pickup is the perfect aid to your shredding. You'll enjoy sharp, smooth tones that suit up-tempo lead playing exactly. The ideal electronic system for metal.

Floyd Rose tremolo bridge for extreme experimentation

The original and the best. For decades, Floyd Rose has been the go-to manufacturer for top-quality, locking tremolo bridges. You'll be able to experiment with pitch bends and tremolo with complete freedom. The Floyd Rose allows you to adjust string tension and pitch using the removable whammy bar, giving you a huge range of unique sounds to inject into your sound. The bridge's locking feature allows you to make gigantic pitch changes without worrying about your guitar's tuning, retaining the initial tuning by locking your strings in place.

Immense playability

Scintillating speed with super sharp sound. The ESP Arrow has an extremely smooth three-piece maple neck, giving you a supremely fast playing action. This will allow your hand to speed up and down the neck with complete ease. The perfect aid for high-paced shredding.

Every note you play in those speedy solos will sound magnificently defined and crisp, too. The Arrow's pau ferro fingerboard delivers snappy, sharp-sounding notes with a remarkable, exhilarating edge. Maximum energy for an awesome hard rock sound.

Stunningly striking

Style like no other. There are certain characteristics you might associate with a heavy metal guitar: a "V"-shaped body, pointed edges, an overall aggressive look. The ESP Arrow-401 gives you every one of these classic metal features in a complete design that looks and feels like a hard rock legend. Finished off in jet black, and with shark tooth fretboard inlays for an extra touch of aggression, this model looks as good as it sounds. Total hard rock power.

Hard rock heritage

ESP Guitars are legends of the rock music world. Established in Tokyo, Japan in 1975, ESP (Electric Sound Products) initially manufactured high-quality replacement parts for guitars already on the market. These replacements became extremely popular with rock guitarists, as many users noticed that the new parts, when added to their existing guitars, afforded their instruments extra power and aggression.

Noticing their new-found popularity, ESP capitalised and decided to use their expertise to begin crafting guitars of their own. Early models were used in the music of KISS and The Rolling Stones. As years passed, ESP's guitars became increasingly popular within metal and hard rock genres. Metallica, Megadeath, Slayer, Judas Priest, and Guns N' Roses have all used the immense sound of ESPs in their music. Quality, hard rock sound favoured by the very best in the business.
