ESP LTD JH-600 CTM Jeff Hanneman Guitar Black

The JH-600 CTM delivers the aggressive performance profile and tonal character that defined Jeff Hanneman's approach to metal guitar. Neck-thru construction provides superior sustain and resonance while the Extra Thin U-shaped neck profile facilitates rapid transitions and effortless access across all registers. This is a purpose-built instrument for players demanding speed, power, and precision in high-gain applications.

Playability & Feel

The 25.5" scale length combined with 24 XJ frets establishes a platform for expansive playing techniques while maintaining ideal string tension for aggressive riffing and articulate soloing. A 350mm (13.78") fingerboard radius with ebony fingerboard and red star inlays supports fast finger work and smooth bending without compromising control. The 42mm nut width paired with Grover tuners ensures tuning stability during extended playing sessions, especially when using the tremolo system for expressive effects.

Tone & Electronics

The EMG 85 neck pickup delivers rich, warm tones with excellent note definition, while the EMG 81 bridge pickup provides high output and articulate attack ideal for heavy music applications. The Kahler Hybrid bridge maintains precise intonation across all strings while enabling expressive vibrato without tuning instability. Three-piece maple neck construction and alder body contribute brightness and sustain to both clean and heavily distorted tones.
