ESP Snakebyte Black Satin

Handcrafted at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, the ESP Snakebyte Black Satin is an ESP Signature Series model of James Hetfield, the frontman of Metallica and one of the world's most highly respected rhythm guitar players in any genre.

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, Dunlop straplocks, Sperzel locking tuners, and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece.

This Snakebyte has a black finish with satin lacquer, brushed black chrome pickup covers, dot inlays and black hardware. The guitar comes in a hardshell case with a Certificate of Authenticity from ESP.
