Description
ESP LTD Iron Cross James Hetfield Lefty Guitar – Snow White with Black Stripes
The ESP LTD Iron Cross is engineered for aggressive rhythm playing with a thin U neck profile that balances comfort during power chording with speed for fast riffing. The set-neck construction delivers seamless fret access and enhanced sustain, while the mahogany body with maple cap produces a warm, punchy tone with rich resonance. Designed in collaboration with James Hetfield, this left-handed signature model combines premium materials and rock-solid hardware to meet the demands of serious metal players.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece mahogany neck with thin U profile and 42mm nut width is optimized for controlled chording and fast playing across the 24.75" scale length. The macassar ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets provides a smooth, responsive surface ideal for aggressive bending, heavy riffing, and articulate lead work on a 350mm radius.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG JH SET active pickups, designed by Hetfield himself, deliver high-output crushing rhythm tones with tight low-end articulation and dynamic lead clarity through independent volume controls and a master tone knob. TonePros locking tune-o-matic bridge and stop tailpiece combined with Sperzel locking tuners ensure exceptional tuning stability and precise intonation even under aggressive playing.
