2006 ESP Snakebyte James Hetfield Signature Custom Shop Guitar – Snow White W/Case

We don't see these come available very often. This Made in Japan Custom Shop ESP Snakebyte is in quite good condition for a 20 year old played guitar. There are some minor blemishes, scratches and nicks that we did the best to show in the pictures. Most are typical wear n tear from a guitar that was cared for but saw frequent use. There is a hairline crack in the ebony fingerboard at the first and second frets. This is very common in ebony fingerboards and is strictly cosmetic and does not affect playability in any way. The electronics function perfectly. Aside from the minor imperfections this is a great guitar at a fraction of the price of a new one. The guitar does not come with the original Certificate of Authenticity or original case and the guitar is priced accordingly. We have included a brand new explorer hardhsell case with the guitar as well as a new restring. 

Guitar weighs 8 lb

The ESP Snakebyte is powered by James' own EMG JH SET active pickups, and includes premier components such as a bone nut, ESP strap locks, Sperzel locking tuners, and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece.
