Description

The ESP LTD Snakebyte is not a guitar for the faint-hearted. Designed with the one and only James Hetfield, it’s built with precision rhythm playing, snarling leads and buckets of attitude in mind.

The unique body shape is combined with high-end components including EMG pickups, Sperzel locking tuners, a Tonepros bridge and Schaller straplocks. It’s only fitting that in his case, ESP LTD opted for the EMG Het Set pickups. Hetfield’s signature set combines his love of classic rock ‘n’ roll guitar sound with the modern, razor-sharp tones of active pickups.

The clean-cut, razor sharp looks of the Snakebyte perfectly reflect its sound; precise, powerful and out for the kill. Tread carefully!

Here's what ESP say:

Your eyes aren't deceiving you. The James Hetfield Snakebyte is a brand new body style for ESP and LTD in 2011. It has a set-neck construction at 24.75" scale, with a mahogany body and neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 22 XJ frets. The Snakebyte comes with a bunch of high-end components, including Sperzel locking tuners, Schaller straplocks, a Tonepros locking bridge/tailpiece, and EMG Het Set active pickups.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
