Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The charcoal-metallic M-400HT is a bolt-on, 25.5-inch-scale M/Mirage built around a thin U roasted-maple neck and a fixed hardtail bridge. Its EMG 81 bridge humbucker is voiced for tight lows and fast attack in heavy rhythm work; the EMG 85 neck pickup supplies a warmer, fuller lead response. With 24 extra-jumbo frets, string-through-body construction, and locking tuners, it suits players who want a direct, controlled high-gain guitar without tremolo hardware.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Palm-muted heavy rhythm parts needing tight lows, fast attack, and precise articulation.
- Lead passages that move quickly across all 24 extra-jumbo frets.
- High-gain stage or studio work using separate focused bridge and fuller neck pickup voices.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want tremolo hardware instead of a fixed hardtail bridge.
