ESP - Jame Hetfield

[Bogner]

I am kind of digging this new James Hetfield Signature Model Guitar from ESP. I have been after another explorer type guitar and this is "different."

 

[JB_From_Hell]

James plays cool looking stuff, especially the Explorer styles.

 

[Bogner]

I cringe at the string pull but the guitar is fantastic!

Actually I am not a fan of his newer sig guitars... That Vulture was ugly AF and don't quite get along with this one either. The headstock looks cool, I'll give him that though

It's a wanna-be Jackson Kelly upper horn with a severe old-age droop at the bottom Gibson Explorer.

I'd do a Jackson Kelly if I wanted an explorer alternative. Is the real (not the budget ones spewed out in the Pacific Ocean somewhere) Jackson even around?

And, you could actually cut someone with a Kelly.

Now that's metal.

I would like the Het,,,, if it had a floyd. I do like the shape and the head reminds me of those old 80s BCRs.
The Jackson shape is great too, but those shark fin inlays have never done anything for me.

And the Kelly is a wannabe Explorer lol. If I had to pick only one, I would go for the Jeff Loomis Jackson Custom Shop. My problem is I like both and want both...lol.

Jame Hetfield no use the Floyd. He is all about the Tuna-Matic.

The reason you dont like sharkfins is because you are not Serious about Toanz.

Oddly enough I do like ibby shark tooth inlays, at least better than the fins, or maybe I should say they bug me less.
My Giger rgt has them but they're like a dark marble look and mostly disappear unless the light hits them.

Lol, those ESPs are big-girl money. :chairfall Maybe you could slum it this time with a $1,900 LTD.

In today's "guitar manufacturers ripping off the consumer for even more money + mega-inflation" economy, $1,900 is low-end.

You can't have both - inflation says so.

That's just another Snakebyte in camo, nothing new.

This is the old BCR headstock I was referring to.

Glad my main buying days are over. Never say never but current prices have me considering nothing at all atm.

 

[GuitarDoc]

Ugh!!! Definitely not my style.

The only thing I like about it is...uh...uh....uh.....uh........uh..............uh.........................uh..................uh.
Man, I just can't think of anything right now.

 

[Bogner]

Choices are a lovely thing.
