Built for performance and loaded with aggressive features, the ESP LTD James Hetfield Signature Snakebyte electric guitar doesn't just look impressive: it delivers the sound that made metal what it is today.

A set of Hetfield's signature EMG JH "HET" humbuckers offers the best of active and passive tones, with high-end hardware like locking tuners and a Tonepros locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece solidifying the ESP LTD Snakebtye as a formidable choice for the touring metal musician.
