I couldn't help myself...

Back before Xmas, I splurged and picked up a limited edition LTD James Hetfield "Snakebyte" baritone that showed up in the Guitar Center used section. I was thoroughly impressed with the guitar, but with a baby on the way, I was having trouble justifying the purchase, so I ended up returning it out of guilt.

Well, ever since then, I have wanted that guitar back. I've never been a huge fan of the "Snakebyte" shape, but that guitar was just SO cool!

I've been keeping a casual eye out for a deal on another one to pop up, but every one that has come up for sale in the past 6 months has been in the $2500-$3500 range, which seems ridiculous for a guitar that was only $1300 new less than 5 years ago (granted, they only produced 500 worldwide).

This week, a really nice looking one at a decent price came up on eBay from a shop in Japan. Sent them an offer to sweeten the deal a bit more and now it's on its way to me!

Can't wait until it arrives :headbang:

Yeah, the color and tops on these are killer!

I wish they had made a standard scale version with this same purple-burst finish.

However, it's only 27" scale, which is really manageable coming from 25.5" on most of my other guitars.

Look at all of those guitars in the reflection of the finish! I think they owe you those -as they are in the pic too

Also the carpet, ask for the carpet.
