Description
ESP LTD Snakebyte James Hetfield Guitar Black Satin B Stock
The Snakebyte delivers the aggressive response and sustain demanded by serious rhythm players through its set-neck mahogany construction and refined thin U neck profile. This signature model channels James Hetfield's approach to tone and playability, with the aggressive body geometry and locking hardware engineered for the demands of heavy music. B-Stock condition means minor finish imperfections only—the instrument plays and sounds identical to new.
Construction & Playability
Set-neck construction provides seamless neck-to-body connection and enhanced sustain across the 24.75" scale. The three-piece mahogany neck with thin U contour (0.822" at 1st fret, 0.894" at 12th fret) balances comfort with speed, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 13.78" radius and 22 extra-jumbo frets supports aggressive bending and precise intonation across the full range.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG JH Set active pickups—Hetfield's own high-output design—deliver tight, articulate response with extended dynamic range, controlled through dual volume controls and a toggle switch for tone shaping. TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece paired with LTD locking tuning machines lock in rock-solid intonation and tuning stability under aggressive playing.
