PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

Picking up the artist signature guitars we get in is one of our favorite parts of the day here at the shop, and part of it has to do with learning what every artist - many of whom we listen to and are fans of - prefers to make music with in terms of what they want in an instrument. This ESP LTD James Hetfield Iron Cross guitar is certainly among the coolest!

Right off the bat, you may notice the body shape is based on ESP's Eclipse model, which is their take on the classic single-cutaway double-humbucker guitar we all know and love. This contoured body shape along with the Thin U neck is nice, comfortable, and perfect for long sets banging out the hard-hitting riffs and crushing chords that James and Metallica are known for. The clean Snow White finish is a stunning contrast to the gothic aesthetic of the Iron Cross designs that adorn this axe, creating a striking visual for you to rock with on stage. 

Tonally, this guitar simply kills. The EMG James Hetfield signature pickups are brutal as you've come to expect from EMG active humbuckers, but have a certain old-school clarity and vibe as well - the visible pole pieces and passive-style design bring together the best of both worlds. They sound awesome!

ITEM SPECIFICS

The LTD Iron Cross 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 Iron Cross is based on James' personal custom instrument design, and features set-neck construction of a mahogany body with maple cap, and a three-piece mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard and 22 extra-jumbo frets with an Iron Cross inlay at the 12th fret. The LTD Iron Cross is powered by James' own EMG JH SET active pickups, and includes a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece. Available in Snow White finish with black stripe graphic and iron cross fixture.
