ESP LTD TE-406FM Dark Brown Sunburst Satin electric guitar

General

The ESP LTD TE-406FM (Dark Brown Sunburst Satin) is a very attractive vintage-looking instrument with an unexpectedly tight sound. The TE-406FM owes its classic looks to the distinctive TE body shapes. Moreover, this electric guitar features a tasteful Flamed Maple top, which means it has a striking grain pattern that warmly shines through the dark brown sunburst finish. Also, it matches the black knobs, bridge and other dark hardware quite nicely.

TE-406FM: modern sounds

You may not have guessed from the looks of this guitar, but the TE0406FM is equipped with a set of pickups that are fully attuned to creating massive metal mayhem. They're active pickups by the popular EMG company that produce an especially balanced and clear sound. The EMG 81 in the bridge position is the tightest, whereas the EMG 60 has a somewhat warmer sound on offer. What's more, this guitar's extra jumbo frets allow for incredibly smooth string bends. Lastly, the slender U-profile neck offers an amazing amount of room for your left hand to move about the fretboard while playing the fastest metal riffs.
