Description
James Hetfield (METALLICA) Signature Model

The "SNAKEBYTE," a guitar favored by James Hetfield, the frontman of the globally popular monster rock band "Metallica," features a body and head shape that James himself evolved from the design of his long-loved MX-II (EXP).

The body and neck are made of mahogany, and the neck, which has an ebony fingerboard with a snake inlay at the 12th fret, is joined using a set-neck method. It is equipped with EMG JH Set pickups, and the bridge uses TonePros T3BT and T1Z.

The camouflage pattern used in the SNAKEBYTE CAMO is based on a design created by KUIU, a high-performance hunting gear manufacturer in the United States. This design was personally selected by James Hetfield.

A hard case and certificate of authenticity with the same design are included.

A portion of the proceeds from the ESP SNAKEBYTE CAMO will be donated to the All Within My Hands Foundation, a charity run by Metallica. The foundation is dedicated to creating sustainable communities by providing vocational training, helping to combat hunger, and offering other essential community services.

[James Hetfield]
James Hetfield is the vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and main songwriter of Metallica, one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time. For 30 years, through 10 studio albums and countless world tours, Metallica has spread their unique brand of thrash metal to the world. Known for his powerful right hand and precise rhythm playing, James's signature guitar faithfully reproduces his commitment to playability and durability.
