General

You don't have to be a fan of Metallica to be able to appreciate this white James Hetfield Signature guitar. In addition to a radical shape, the LTD Snakebyte SW features a set of great pickups. These active EMGs (high output and hum-free) were specifically designed for James Hetfield and are extra special because their dynamic and warm sound allows you to reap the benefits of passive humbuckers. A gorgeous model for serious metal and hard rock guitarists.

The stable LTD Snakebyte

The comfortable mahogany body of the Snow White LTD Snakebyte guarantees a full, deep base sound to which the ebony fretboard adds noticeable clarity. Additionally, the neck is comfortably slender and the extra large frets allow for effortless string bends. Changing strings is quick and easy thanks to the ESP Locking Tuners and the reliable Tonepros Locking Tune-O-Matic bridge assures you of an excellent sustain.

ESP's LTD guitars

LTD is a subdivision of the renowned ESP brand. Many hard rock and heavy metal guitar players, ranging from amateurs to professionals to rock legends, own an ESP guitar. ESP offer several series, including a large number of signature models made in collaboration with famous artists. LTD guitars are perfect if a professional instrument is just out of your reach. They offer durable quality, a beautiful shape, a tasteful finish and excellent sound at a reasonable price.

ESP LTD Snakebyte SW James Hetfield Signature e guitar white

Met deze gitaar haal je het typische James Hetfield/Metallica geluid in huis. Door de combinatie van een actieve en passieve EMG pick-up klinkt de gitaar heerlijk "distorted" en dat maakt hem perfect om wat heavy metal riffs te spelen. Ondanks de forse body speelt ie heerlijk licht en door de locking tuners ontstemt ie eigenlijk zelden.

Samengevat, zoek je de typische Metallica sound dan hoef je niet verder te zoeken, maar eigenlijk is ie voor alle metalliefhebbers geschikt! Gewoon een beest van een gitaar.

Enige minpuntje: je zal er nooit zo stoer uitzien als wanneer James Hetfield 'm zelf om z'n nek heeft hangen...

ESP LTD Snakebyte SW James Hetfield Signature e guitar white

Ik heb heel lang gezocht naar de ESP LTD Snakebyte. Ik wilde de 2012 model (met de EMG JH elementen). Ik had even mijn twijfels of dit wel de 2012 model was, maar gelukkig kwam de gitaar perfect binnen met de EMG JH set. Hij klinkt en speelt geweldig. De EMG JH elementen zijn echt perfect voor metal, maar ook heel goed voor clean. Ik heb al een gitaar met EMG 81X-60. De EMG JH' s klinken duidelijk veel beter. De Sperzel Locking tuners zijn ook heel handig. Ze ontstemmen niet en zijn heel makkelijk te stemmen. De 2 volume knoppen bewegen heel soepel wat ik zelf heel fijn vind. Hij is licht van gewicht wat heel fijn staand speelt. De vorm en de witte kleur vind ik zelf ook heel mooi.

Kortom,

ben jij een Metallica fan of speel je metal? Dan is dit de beste gitaar voor jou. Hij klinkt zelf geweldig op mijn kleine Line 6 Spider IV 15 Watt versterker.
