ESP ESP James Hetfield Signature Electric Guitar, Camo Finish Includes ESP Hard Case

Show the world your metal chops with the ESP James Hetfield Signature Snakebyte electric guitar — the same handmade model Metallica's James Hetfield uses night after night on the road! This electric guitar doesn't just look impressive: it delivers the sound that made metal what it is today. The edgy design of its mahogany body confronts you with a ready-for-action aesthetic while maintaining excellent balance on your knee or strap. Chug through a few Metallica classics, and you're sure to relish in the Snakebyte's fast-playing mahogany neck, capped with an ebony fingerboard to keep up with the furious fretting and down-picking madness of its namesake. A set of Hetfield's signature EMG JH "HET" humbuckers offers the best of active and passive tones, with high-end hardware like Sperzel locking tuners and a Tonepros locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece solidifying the ESP Snakebtye as a formidable choice for the touring metal musician.

Aside from being instantly recognizable as one of the world's most iconic metal guitars, ESP's Snakebyte body style makes it one of the most playable and well-balanced guitars available today. The body shape ensures the guitar won't neck dive when it's on your knee or strapped over your shoulder, with a natural-feeling arm rest on the body for optimal picking placement — there's a reason Snakebytes are a favorite among metal purists here at Melody House.

Metallica and EMG have both individually and collectively helped define the modern sound of heavy metal guitar. When James Hetfield tapped into the incredible minds at EMG to design his signature set of pickups, the mission was clear: to create a pair of active humbuckers that offered the output and clarity of the 85 and 81 pair Hetfield had been using for decades, but with the nuance, punch, and dynamics of a great set of passive pickups.
