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, dipped in a KUIU-inspired camouflage paint-job, 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 three-piece 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.
