ESP LTD James Hetfield Signature Vulture Olympic White Elect

Description

General
While best known for rocking EX-style guitars, in the early days of Metallica, James Hetfield frequently toted V-style guitars like his JH-1 Signature which can be seen in the music video for ‘Whiskey in the Jar’. Following a collab with ESP LTD, Hetfield now drops the LTD Vulture: a slick V guitar that features the same tight contouring as the Snakebyte model and offers the comfort of a slanted round wing.

The Vulture: Made for Metal

It’s no surprise that the LTD Vulture comes decked out with high-quality parts, including a mahogany body armed with an EMG ‘HET’ pickup set to guarantee Metallica-grade sound. Made of mahogany as well, the thin U-profile neck adds a rich sonic touch to the foundation sound, while the ebony fretboard has been lined with 24 XJ frets to lighten the playing feel. Finished with LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM-style bridge, this fresh James Hetfield Signature electric guitar is satisfyingly stable and supports tight intonation.
