Here for sale we have a ESP LTD Snakebyte James Hetfield Signature Electric Guitar in Snow White finish. Made in Korea in 2015, this set-neck constructed guitar consists of a Mahogany body, a Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Macassar Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include a Tonepros Locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, LTD Locking tuners, Black hardware, and a set of Active EMG JH Humbuckers. These pickups are wired to two volume controls, and a three-way pickup selector.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand with the Thin 'U’ neck profile feeling incredibly ergonomic, allowing for great thumb placement all across the neck, whilst the 22 fret Macassar Ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets provide a robust playing experience that feels rock solid under the fingers, whilst enhancing string bending and vibrato techniques. The 13.78” provides an even and balanced feel across the strings, particularly in drop tunings. The offset provides unobstructed access to the upper register.
Amplified, this guitar has a thick low end grunt and sculpted mid range thanks to its pair of EMG JH Humbuckers. The humbucker in the bridge position delivers powerful but balanced rock and metal tones with rich upper-midrange harmonic content. The low strings are tight and the high strings scream with harmonics, making it a go-to pickup for hard-hitting crunch rhythms and blazing lead tones. The humbucker in the neck position offers all the soloing clarity you could wish for, with sweet sustain and a warm, full sound that still possesses a clear attack providing a hot output delivering smooth, fluid solo tones under gain, while still being capable of bell-like clean tones.
