    The LTD Snakebyte is a Signature Series model of James Hetfield, the frontman of Metallica and one of the world's most highly respected rhythm guitar players in any genre. The Snakebyte was created based on James' own original design. It features  set-neck construction at 24.75" scale, with a mahogany body and a three-piece mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard and 22 extra-jumbo frets with a snake inlay at the 12th fret. The LTD Snakebyte is powered by James' own EMG JH SET active pickups, and includes a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece.

    Finally got a Snakebyte after saving up for about year and a half, absolutely love it.

    - I do have a question, anyone else experiencing that you have to turn up the bridge pickup volume in the middle position to get any signal from the neck pickup ?
    I'm not sure if mine has been wired wrong or if I'm just using it wrong.
    Any word on this would be appreciated, thank you.

      I don't have one so can't confirm if it's the way these models are wired of if it's a fault, sounds unusual though. I would get in touch whith ESP to clarify, hope this helps.

            I own this Guitar almost a year now and I am very happy with it. 

            It is very comfortable to play, I am an explorer shape Guitar player anyway, but this one seems to fit better than the classic shapes we know. 

            Sound is amazing and it makes fun to grab and play this Guitar.

            Only point that makes me sad is, that my Fretboard is very bright at the lenght of the E and A String. So it would look better if it would be dark es it sholud. 

            I Hope we will see an Vintage/ Olympic white Verions of the Snakbyte in some time.
