ESP LTD TE-406 SWS Snow White Satin electric guitar

General

ESP isn't afraid of wild body shapes or a little controversy, but this is quite a remarkable choice for a brand that's popular among metal guitarists. The ESP LTD TE-406 SWS (Snow White Satin) has the classic T-type body. It combines this vintage look with the roaring sounds of a duo of genuine EMG pickups. What's more, its slender U-profile neck allows plenty of playing room for metal musicians who play as fast as lightning. Additionally, the extra-large frets allow for the smoothest string bends.

TE-406 SWS: sleek sound and look

The TE-406 brandishes a delightfully straightforward look, a spotless white body and headstock combined with a natural-coloured rosewood fretboard. All the white is beautifully contrasted by the black hardware: the bridge, the volume and tone controls, the machine heads, pickup switch and pickup covers. The latter ones cover a set of active humbucker pickups, which are characterised by exceptionally balanced sounds. The EMG 81 bridge pickup ensures the most even sound, while the EMG 60 at the neck produces a tone with a fuller character. This way, you can create a modern metal sound as well as warmer hard rock and blues sounds.
