The EC-400 QM features a mahogany body that delivers a warm, punchy tonal foundation with strong midrange presence and natural sustain. Mahogany helps driven tones remain full and controlled, while the quilted maple top adds visual depth and a touch of extra attack to the note response. This combination produces a balanced sound that works equally well for heavy rhythm playing and articulate lead lines. The single-cut EC shape provides a comfortable playing position and excellent upper-fret access.
A set-thru three-piece mahogany neck enhances sustain and resonance by allowing string vibration to transfer smoothly between neck and body. The thin U neck profile is designed for speed and comfort, sitting naturally in the hand and encouraging quick position changes. A rosewood fingerboard with a 350mm radius offers a familiar feel that supports both chord work and lead playing. Twenty-two extra-jumbo frets provide ample space for expressive vibrato, bends and precise articulation.
The EC-400 QM is equipped with a proven EMG pickup pairing, featuring an EMG 81 in the bridge position and an EMG 85 in the neck. The EMG 81 delivers tight low end, cutting mids and crisp highs that excel at aggressive rhythm tones and precise leads. The EMG 85 adds a fuller, warmer response for smooth solos and powerful clean sounds. Dual volume controls, a master tone and a three-way toggle switch allow flexible tone shaping without complicating operation.
A Tune-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece provides reliable tuning stability, strong sustain and accurate intonation. This fixed bridge setup offers a consistent feel under the picking hand and is ideal for players who prefer a solid response without tremolo movement. LTD locking tuners help keep tuning secure during long sessions, while durable black hardware complements the See Thru Black Sunburst finish. Built for rehearsal, recording and live use, the EC-400 QM delivers dependable performance straight out of the case.
