The body shape ensures the guitar won't neck dive when it's on your knee or strapped over your shoulder. And you'll appreciate how your arm naturally rests on the body for optimal picking placement. There's a reason Snakebytes are a favorite among metal purists here at Guitar World.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-title\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEMG JH Het Set active pickups\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetallica and EMG have both individually and collectively helped define the modern sound of heavy metal guitar. When James got together with EMG to design his signature set of pickups, they set out to create a pair of active humbuckers that offered the output and clarity of the 85 and 81 pair Hetfield had been using for decades, but with the nuance, punch, and dynamics of a great set of passive pickups. The JH pickup set uses oversized ceramic and steel pole pieces to give your LTD Snakebyte that exact combination for a powerful rock sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"page-title\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh-performance features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis LTD Snakebyte James Hetfield signature electric guitar boasts a lot of appointments that are normally reserved for guitars costing considerably more. The headstock is outfitted with six of ESP's LTD locking tuners to make string changes a breeze while keeping your tuning stable. A TonePros locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece lock the hardware down to the body, giving you optimal string vibration transfer to your guitar's body.
