ESP Snakebyte | James Hetfield Signature Guitar

ESP Snakebyte James Hetfield, Black Satin Overview

The ESP Snakebyte is the James Hetfield signature, a new body shape by ESP that's reminiscent of the older ESPlorers Jaymz used to play, this guitar is metal-to-core.

With a set-neck construction, 24.75" scale, mahogany body and neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 22 XJ frets. The spec's are exactly as you'd expect. And in keeping with that, the Snakebyte comes with a bunch of high-end components, including Sperzel locking tuners, Schaller straplocks, a Tonepros locking bridge/tailpiece, and James' signature EMG JH Set active pickups.

ESP guitars are renowned for the quality of their construction and it's a well earned distinction, as this quality is present in all their guitars and basses, from their top end signature models through to the more affordable LTD models. ESP and LTD Guitars and Basses feature high quality hardware and design features that are indicative of a company that has spent 35 years designing some of music's most brutal, hard wearing and road worthy instruments.
