General

Amateur guitarists who are serious about playing make a sensible choice when purchasing the LTD EC-401 OW. This striking white electric guitar is a top performer in numerous genres. Its popular, neat-sounding EMG 81 bridge pickup ensures that this guitar is right at home in a metal band but the EC401 is also capable of producing rich (hard)rock tones and blues sounds thanks to its EMG 60 neck pickup - a versatile and naturally hum-free humbucker combination on a glorious vehicle.

The ESP LTD EC-401

The body, as well as the neck of the LTD EC401 OW, are made of mahogany, which is known for a warm, yet clear open core tone. The Olympic White finish of this guitar has been combined with a black ESP headstock, elegant bindings and matching black hardware. 24 extra-large frets make it easier to bend the strings and the set of high-quality Grover tuners allow for accurate tuning. The Tune-O-Matic bridge helps you to accurately adjust the EC401's intonation.

ESP LTD EC-401 Olympic White Electric Guitar (Olympic White)
Wrote the following about ESP LTD EC-401 Olympic White Electric Guitar (Olympic White)
This is a mid range LTD Eclipse but from the get go there was a problem with the model I received .
The set up us is truly appalling for a guitar in this price range .
ACTION 12TH FRET low E 2 mm and high E 2mm.Intonation ...probabaly not even set.
but the biggest problem was the nut which was not cut deep enough leaving 0.030" over the first fret of the the Low E and High E.
This will take work to sort out and frankly that should not be the case for guitar of this price . A PRS SE I bought for half this money was immaculately set up from the factory . Seriously considering returning this . Which is a shame because the fit and finish is excellent esp the fret work .

Perfect. Ondanks dat dit model gepositioneerd is als mid-level, onder de EC-1000, zijn de specificaties van de gitaar high-end. De 401 heeft een resonante mahonie body en hals, met een prachtig mooi donker macassar ebben fretboard met de van LTD bekende vlag-inlays. Dat geeft in combinatie met de actieve EMG 81-60 elementen een stevige oomph aan het geluid. Vol, resonant, helder, krachtig. De cremekleurige finish in combinatie met de matzwarte hardware en subtiele hals- en bodybinding vind ik esthetisch bijzonder verantwoord, maar dat is smaak uiteraard. De afwerking van de gitaar is vlekkeloos. Dit is het type met de nieuw afgewerkte neck joint: nog steeds een set-neck (perfect voor het type gitaar), maar met de afwerking van een neck-through. Dat maakt toegang tot de onderste van de 24 fretten easy peasy. De belly cut maakt speelcomfort nog groter, en hoewel de gitaar niet per se licht is, is ze absoluut niet zwaar te noemen. Eerder robuust en comfortabel. Zeker lichter dan een les paul. Voor mij in ieder geval perfect. De volume- en toonknoppen zijn bijzonder responsief en geven je een wijde range aan mogelijkheden. Ik heb ook nog een ESP LTD EC 256 (wit met zwarte binding, supermooi!), waar ik Seymour Duncans in gezet heb. Een fijn, licht en goed klinkend en spelend gitaartje, maar het kwaliteitsverschil met de EC401 is merkbaar. Deze is véél volwassener en klinkt echt beter. De hals is slank en snel. Balans is perfect. De gitaar leent zich uitstekend voor metal maar weet zich prima staande te houden in ieder genre. Enige kleine minpuntje dat ik kan noemen is functioneel: waarom geen handig open-en-sluit klepje op de achterkant voor de 9V batterij, in plaats van het schroefplaatje waar voor gekozen is. Maar, een kniesoor en dergelijke. De set-up was perfect out of the box, ik heb er letterlijk niets aan hoeven doen. Verzending door bax was prima, binnen twee dagen in huis, verpakt in de originele omdoos en een goed passende bax-doos. Last but not least, ik heb gebruik kunnen maken van een hele scherpe aanbieding, een daarmee héél veel gitaar voor een meer dan redelijke prijs gekregen. Kortom: happy as a pig in sh*t. Zoek je een snelle, uiterst bespeelbare, vet klinkende en complete single cut, dan hoef je niet verder te kijken dan deze.
