When ESP and James Hetfield, the frontman of Metallica and one of the most highly respected rhythm guitarists, came together to create a signature model, they changed the face of metal forever. With the ESP LTD Snake Byte, you get to experience the look, sound, and feel of Hetfield's own amazing guitar for yourself.
The first thing you'll notice is how balanced the LTD Snake Byte's body feels, making it easy to transition from low-end riff work to high-flying solos. Plug it in, and the whole game changes. Thanks to the active EMG humbucker (Hetfield's own custom JH "Het" set), you'll get everything from the tight chugging rhythms to the screaming leads you'd expect from the metal axe that started it all.
Designed for James Hetfield, the ESP LTD Snake Byte features a set-neck construction at a 24.75" scale, with a mahogany body and a three-piece mahogany neck. The ebony fingerboard has 22 extra-jumbo frets with a snake inlay at the 12th fret, adding to the guitar's distinctive visual appeal.
Powered by Hetfield's own EMG JH SET active pickups, the LTD Snake Byte also includes a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, ensuring superior tuning stability and sustain. The guitar is available in two stunning finishes, Black Satin or Snow White, as well as in a left-handed version for those who prefer to play that way.
If you want to sound like a metal legend, the ESP LTD Snake Byte is the perfect place to start. With its perfect balance, powerful active pickups, and iconic visual cues, this guitar is a true embodiment of Hetfield's signature style and tone. Whether you're a seasoned metal virtuoso or just starting your journey, the LTD Snake Byte will inspire you to push the boundaries of what's possible on the guitar.
