ESP LTD Truckster James Hetfield Signature Metallica Aged Black Satin Recently, Papa Het's namesake LTD Iron Cross was on sale, and now there is another one of his signature models. James Hetfield is one of the most famous vocalists of all time, an excellent guitarist, and the main songwriter in Metallica - the biggest thrash band. James Hetfield turned to ESP to create the perfect instrument for himself. James's signature guitars were designed taking into account his wishes for ergonomics, sound, and durability. Even the pickups were developed in collaboration with him. This guitar features a classic mahogany body with deep lows and smoothed highs, with a singing, velvety sound. The set-in neck noticeably increases sustain and improves the instrument's resonance, and thanks to the built-in preamp of the active EMG pickups, the instrument gets a furious, heavy sound with a characteristic, recognizable timbre. The pickups do not hum and have a high output. The TonePros bridge system is a simple, yet quite innovative improvement on the standard Tune-O-Matic. Both parts of the system, the bridge and the tailpiece, are completely locked using two small screws on the edges. Thanks to this locking, sustain is increased, the sound of the instrument becomes fuller, and changing strings is more convenient. And of course, the locking tuners are simple, have an elegant design, hold the tuned string more stably, and simplify the string changing procedure. Body - Mahogany with maple top Scale - 24.75" Neck - Set-in mahogany Fretboard - Rosewood Neck profile - Thin U Neck width - 42mm (1st fret) Inlay - Flag fret markers Binding - White on the neck Bridge - Tone Pros tune-o-matic Pickups - EMG JH SET Frets - 22 XJ Hardware - Satin chrome Tuners - ESP locking Controls - 2 volumes, 1 tone, two 3-way switches (switch in the upper position is not active) Color - Matte black - BLKS (Black Satin) / aged Included - Guitar, adjustment tools, form-fitting case Manufacturing - Korea From myself, I will add that the guitar is in mint condition, it sounds heavy like a good Japanese Eclipse! The hardware is excellent! In general, Metallica fans - must-have! This is how it sounds The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it on a good tube amp of your choice — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl…. I will ship anywhere in the world
