Built to the highest standards at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, this is the Snakebyte James Hetfield signature guitar – as close as you get to the Snakebyte James wields onstage with Metallica! The Snakebyte was created based on James’ own original design. It features set-neck construction at 24.75″ scale, with a mahogany body and a single-piece mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard and 22 extra-jumbo frets with a snake inlay at the 12th fret. The ESP Snakebyte is powered by James’ own EMG JH SET active pickups, and includes premier components such as a bone nut, Schaller straplocks, Sperzel locking tuners, and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece. The ESP Snakebyte includes a hardshell case and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from ESP.
