What is a B-stock product?

A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing. It’s possible that the product itself may show slight signs of use or damage too. All B-stock products are fully checked to ensure that they work properly and you can find details of why the product is a B-stock in the information above.

B-stock information

The B-stock tab on the product page shows information about the B-stock product. Be aware that this information supersedes anything you may read in the product description. The product description includes text and specifications about the product in its brand-new state. It’s possible that a B-stock item may be missing accessories mentioned in the text or specifications, for instance, but if so, this will always be mentioned in the B-stock information. B-stock products also include photos of the actual B-stock item so that you can see exactly what it looks like.

B-stock photos

The B-stock photos allow you to see the actual B-stock product you are considering purchasing. The photos show the following::

  • Photo of the brand new product
  • Photo of the B-stock product with packaging (if included) and any accessories
  • Photo showing the front of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing the back of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing any damage to the B-stock product (if applicable)

Original packaging

General

James Hetfield and ESP LTD present the Snakebyte: an impressive EX-style offering based on Hetfield's own custom shop guitar from the '80s and '90s. Having shrugged off the retro skin, this special edition model has been freshly upgraded and reloaded with a set of EMG JH Het humbuckers to deliver earth-shattering, metal-ready sound, coated in the kind of warmth and dynamic response that you'd usually only get with with a passive setup. Built for more than just Metallica mega-fans, this stomping axe comes complete with a tailor-made case.

The Snakebyte: Full-On Sound

Built like a tank, the Snakebyte provides the maximum reassurance of a mahogany neck with a narrow U-profile and a matching mahogany body which combines for a rich and resonant, full acoustic foundation. The ebony fretboard has been kitted out with a set of twenty-two Extra Jumbo frets for light and fast, unrestricted playing comfort, while a TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge and LTD locking machine heads lay down extreme tuning stability.

ESP

In 1975, Hisatake Shibuya opened his Electric Sound Products shop in Japan, where his reputation for churning out supreme-quality replacement parts grew so rapidly, that it wasn't long before he started hand-building his own guitars under the name ESP. In the 1980s, the brand shot to fame when ESP models made their way into the hands of massive metal bands, including Metallica. These days, ESP serves up a wide range of incredibly versatile instruments, from high-grade Custom Shop models to the affordable LTD series.
