No question it came from the factory like that too, which surprised me. LTD has got some sauce going on with quality, them and Schecter have a good balance of price and specs. Thanks on the clean tone, that Jazz Chorus patch on my helix and that Hetfield pickup is just butter.
Very cool! I’ve never met an ESP I didn’t like. I just purchased one myself, and I have to say it’s one of my favorite guitars I’ve ever owned. The iron cross is seriously good for the money. As far as the guitar looking too signature, I don’t mind at all. I’ll rock this thing at any gig with zero regrets. Honestly the only people that would ever go “oh that’s a Hetfield signature model” are other guitar players, and if you think about it, lots of people play the Steve Vai Jem and don’t ever get much grief about it, so I’ll proudly rock my iron cross 🤘 love your channel btw!
Yeah, likely anybody outside the guitar player or Metallica spheres wouldn’t know this is a Hetfield signature. I’d play the guitar live but I do know some people like signatures like The Snakebyte or Gary Holt’s guitars because they’re a little plainer. Enjoy the guitar it is great and kicks a lot of ass. Thank you for the support too🤘
Sorry to jump in the middle of this comment but how would this guitar do playing stuff like discharge or the exploited. Not really a Metallica fan but I like the punk thrash bands. I am lefty also and the selection is a little limited. thanks, Kevin
Yeah, seems like they almost wrap around the pickup, at the very least they wrap around the edge. This and my Snakebyte were a bit of a pain in the ass to get the plastic off the pickups.
Quality LTD!
Such an incredible clean tone man. I also like the lower string action cheers 👊

This is on the list of possible guitars to fill the Les Paul shape in my collection
Great review thorough, just bought a lefty today…really like the pick ups this is 4th as well it stacks up well love this ax
Thank you🤘 I know it’s subjective but for me, these are the best pickups out there, love them. Enjoy the guitar, new gear days are always great.

I like it! Nice playing too!
Thank you🤘 it’s a sick guitar.
They are so well made .
The LTD 1000 series and 600 signature series are without a doubt some of the best guitars out there for the price.
Cool review man👍it looks pretty thick how heavy is it?
Thank you🤘 it’s probably around 8 pounds, it isn’t as heavy as my Les Pauls but it’s heavier than most of my Strats.
Awesome guitar and great review. When I hear others complain that it's styled too "James" I can't help but wonder why did you buy it then?
Thank you🤘 and agreed on the “too James” part. It’s not like this guitar is subtle in the looks department.
Did you take Off the plastic JH pickup covers off? Mine seems to not come off easily? And now it’s all loose? I hope I didn’t fuck anything up
Yeah, seems like they almost wrap around the pickup, at the very least they wrap around the edge. This and my Snakebyte were a bit of a pain in the ass to get the plastic off the pickups.
@@GhostDragon1182 Thank you! Mine just came and I picked at the plastic a little and was afraid I screwed it up so I didnt finish removing it
Which is your favourite out of this and the Snakebyte?
