ESP LTD Iron Cross James Hetfield Signature Metallica SW Snow White Always in stock at this link NEW - https://www.ladkorguitars.com/item/esp-ltd-iron-cross-james-hetfield-signature-metallica-sw-snow-white-new-id1522 Initially, the “Iron Cross” model was in James's stash under the “Gibson” brand, in a “Les Paul” shape. Specifically, he played it in 2007 (including during the concert in Moscow on July 18th) right up to the “World Magnetic” tour, until it was replaced by an “ESP” clone. They say this happened because “Gibson” did not express a desire to cooperate in the direction of the “Iron Cross”. The black and white or white and black version of the “Iron Cross” appeared in Hetfield's hands in December 2011 during the band's XXX birthday at “the Fillmore”, San Francisco. Subsequently, the guitar gradually appeared at Metallica concerts again and again, including in Antarctica. Now the guitar has become an integral part of all the opening songs of Metallica during Metallica tours. Only recently has the guitar been released into production and now any Metallica fan who wants to can buy it for themselves. As usual, this can be done in two ways. First, a luxurious version of the “Iron Cross” with the “ESP” logo on the headstock. Consider that you are James Hetfield himself, but you will also have to pay more than $4000 (if anything, contact us, we have already brought such a one to order new). And a budget version with “LTD” on the headstock. The manufacturer says that this version is no less high-quality. Traditionally, both guitars have a mahogany body, 22 frets, active “pickups” from the “EMG” company, created in cooperation with Hetfield. The instrument that bears the name of the legendary frontman of Metallica is, of course, made to the highest standard to live up to its loud name in every way: - mahogany body and set-in mahogany neck - maple top - ebony fretboard - ESP LTD locking tuners - TonePros bridge - EMG USA JH James Hetfield pickups - branded ESP hard case It is very rare to find such a list of features even on more expensive instruments. The guitar was brought in new, played a couple of times, set up by a master, and that's it; the person decided to purchase a Japanese ESP Custom Shop Signature Iron Cross. Everything is original. Despite the fact that it is a Les Paul shape, which is generally, let's say, not the most comfortable for playing, this guitar fits perfectly in the hands and playing it is a pleasure. Notes are taken very easily, the neck is moderately thin, jumbo frets allow you to clearly "strike" all sounds and positions, and of course, the ebony fretboard gives perfect readability and attack, while the mahogany gives depth and sustain. A very worthy instrument. Comes with a branded ESP case and all papers, adjustment tools, just like from the factory!
