ESP LTD Snakebyte BKLS Matte Black (B-Stock)

About Guitars & MORE Welcome to Guitars & MORE! Located in Austria, we have been your expert partner for high-quality instruments since 2004.

Condition: B-Stock (Minor Cosmetic Blemishes) Please note: You are looking at exactly the guitar pictured in the photos. We are offering this instrument as "B-Stock" due to a few minor paint issues on the headstock (please refer to the photos / on photo no. 3 you can see it) and a slight scratch on the outer edge of the included case (last photo). Otherwise, the guitar is in absolutely top condition. It naturally comes with an official invoice and full warranty.

Item Description The ESP LTD Snakebyte BKLS is a high-performance X-Style electric guitar and the official James Hetfield (Metallica) signature model. It features a resonant mahogany body paired with a set-in mahogany neck for maximum sustain and a powerful tone. The comfortable "Thin U" neck profile is topped with a Macassar ebony fretboard featuring 22 extra-jumbo frets. Tonally, the guitar is equipped with two active EMG JH signature humbuckers, delivering the iconic, punchy metal sound Hetfield is known for. High-quality black hardware, including a Tonepros Locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, as well as LTD Locking tuners, ensures perfect tuning stability and intonation. The instrument is finished in a sleek Matte Black (Mattschwarz).
