Available in Snow White or Black Satin finishes, as well as in a lefthanded version.

      Just bought myself one of these LTD Snakebyte guitars in snow white. I'm very impressed. The neck is comfortable, the pickups sound great, and the guitar balances very well on a strap. No complaints here. I am curious though. The nut type says "molded". Perhaps it's just another way to say plastic. On balance, a fine instrument I'll play for years.

                  Are these gloss or matte?  Guitar Centers website says satin but i thought the snow white ones were gloss.
