The James Hetfield LTD Signature Series Snakebyte features set-neck construction at 24.75" scale with a mahogany body, a thin U-shaped three-piece mahogany neck, Macassar ebony fingerboard, 22 extra-jumbo frets, a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and James' own EMG JH SET active pickups. The Snakebyte Camo is based on a camouflage pattern created by high-performance hunting gear manufacturer KUIU, a design chosen by Hetfield. The LTD Snakebyte Camo includes a matching special hardshell case. A portion of the proceeds from each Snakebyte Camo goes to Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation, a non-profit, philanthropic organization dedicated to creating sustainable communities by supporting workforce education, the fight against hunger, and other critical local services.
Macassar ebony is a hard, dense wood with a distinctive striped pattern in shades of black and brown. It offers a clear, crisp tone with excellent response and sustain. The Macassar ebony fingerboard is valued for its luxurious appearance and durability. This contributes to the precise playability and longevity of the instrument.
The matte finish gives surfaces a subtle, unobtrusive and elegant appearance without gloss. This type of finish is achieved by using special paints, varnishes or coatings that absorb light instead of reflecting it. This provides a smooth, non-dazzling finish which gives the materials a sophisticated and modern appearance. The matte finish is popular for its ability to hide small imperfections and fingerprints, making it a convenient choice for everyday use.
The three-piece mahogany neck is constructed from three layers of mahogany for strength and durability. This material provides a warm, rich tone with excellent sustain, while offering stability and resistance to warping. It's ideal for players looking for a warm sound and a reliable neck.
The humbucker-humbucker configuration means that the guitar is equipped with two humbucker pickups. It offers a powerful, full sound with high output and low noise, ideal for rock and metal.
The Hard/Heavy guitar is a solid electric guitar with high performance humbuckers, designed for playing hard rock and heavy metal. It has an aggressive, distorted sound and is designed for fast playing and strong sustain.
Mahogany is a dense wood that produces a warm, full tone with rich bass and a strong mid-range. It is known for its excellent sustain and resonance, giving it a deep and round sound.
