ESP LTD IRON CROSS/SW LH guitar

ESP LTD Iron Cross James Hetfield Left Hand Guitar Snow White

This left-handed Iron Cross tracks with a buttery-smooth neck that translates fast riffing and intricate lead work into clear, controlled recordings with effortless precision. The aggressive and responsive character comes from a thoughtfully engineered design that combines comfort with raw power, making it a serious instrument for engineers and producers demanding both playability and tonal authority in the studio. The striking Snow White finish pairs professional presence on camera or in performance footage with a instrument built to inspire confidence through multiple takes and sessions.

Playability & Recording Feel

The three-piece mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard and Thin U neck contour creates a comfortable, responsive playing surface that translates to consistent performances across tracking sessions. A 13.7-inch radius fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets and 24.75-inch scale length accommodates both precision work and aggressive playing, while the 42mm molded nut width provides proper string spacing for left-handed ergonomics, ensuring reliable intonation on every pass.

Tone & Electronics for Mixing

The EMG JH SET active pickups deliver thick, articulate tones with exceptional sustain and punchy mid-range attack that cuts through dense mixes, while the TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece ensure rock-solid intonation and resonance across multiple takes. Active electronics with Vol/Vol/Tone/Toggle Switch layout give you immediate control over your tone character during tracking, from crushing clarity to thunderous low-end growl, allowing fast adjustments without leaving the booth.
