ESP James Hetfield Iron Cross Signature Electric Guitar, Snow White, EIRONCROSSSW
Player's Perspective
James Hetfield's top of the line signature model from ESP combines a classic design with impeccable build quality and stellar electronics. It's one of the most dialed in, rock-solid guitars I've played. Let's start with the sound: It's thick, raw and heavy, but it always retains great clarity and detail, regardless of the volume or amount of gain. The neck position has sweet mids and packs a huge punch in the low-end without getting muddy, and the bridge has molten tone that cuts through everything. The design of the body style may look familiar to you, but the build quality is so exacting that it feels like an entirely different animal. Every register on the neck is smooth and consistent. Heavy riffs in the low end, wailing leads and middle of the neck bends all have an effortless but expressive feel. If James Hetfield ever records an album with McCoy Tyner, the title could be "Hetfields and McCoys." The pickups in this beast aren't your typical EMGs - be sure to check them out below. This axe is ideal for the Metallica fan, but it's also a perfect fit for anyone who needs an impenetrable solidbody electric that'll still be sounding great decades down the line.
