ESP LTD Iron Cross James Hetfield Snow White

What we say:

At A Glance:

The ESP LTD Iron Cross James Hetfield Snow White is becoming as iconic as any other guitar James Hetfield has played. The Iron Cross is a single cut with a difference. Loaded with a set of active EMG humbuckers, 22 frets, 24.75" scale length and black TOM style bridge it is clearly based off of one of Hetfield's own custom instruments. The mahogany body with a maple cap finished in white with Iron Cross/pinstripe it's as Hetfield as it comes and coupled with the longest strap you can find, you too can demand a stage like the big man himself. Am I right James? YEAH, YEAAAHHH!

Features We Love:

EMG JH Set

Like ESP, Hetfield's been a long time EMG player. Anywhere you see a Metallica in concert, there's gonna be the iconic black pickups there too. Known for his tight, down-picked rhythm playing the JH 'Het' set combines the characteristics of passive clarity, but with the active qualities that Metallica is known for. In short, the cleans will be sparkling, and the distorted tones punishing!

TonePros Locking TOM Style Bridge and Tailpiece

Lets face it, this is a guitar that you're going to be playing and playing hard. This bridge is designed to take as much chugged riffing as possible without tuning stability issues. The TonePros brand is based on sturdiness and this bridge is no exception.

Slim, Fast Neck Profile

The Iron Cross has a thin U shape neck which is slim, but not so thin that you're left looking for more to grasp. Somewhat a classic feature to ESP guitars, it will satisfy both the guitarist new to the brand or someone who is well accustomed to the sleek neck shape.

Highlights:

• Macassar ebony fingerboard that looks great with the black hardware and will give bite and high end clarity to your playing
• Locking tuners for extremely reliable tuning stability
• Set-thru construction for increased sustain and resonance
