Just an amazing guitar!
Been a dream guitar of mine for a while. Decided it was time to get it, and I have to say I'm not disappointed. Perfect guitar, came earlier than expected, perfect shape no damage or sign of any problems. Plays Great. Gonna make a addition to my collection, and will look great on stage with my band. 🤘🤘🤘

You will be instantly friends with James if you buy this
Amazing guitar. I swear JH himself possess me a little while playing, I think this is a hidden feature. Wonderful neck feel and plays the best out of all my guitars. LOVE the satin. There is nothing better to slide on and the pickups are the best I’ve played and get me close to that Metallica sound. Good value since it comes with a sweet molded case ($200 value) and those sweet pickups ($250 value), so really it’s like a normal ec1000 price around $850, so good deal!

Top shelf quality that packs a punch
The media could not be loaded. Unmatched quality for a guitar under two grand. If you like to play heavy metal and Metallica, it doesn't get much better than this.

Indonesian?
I guess ESP LTD moved production of some Korean guitars to Indonesia in 2017. I am not sure if this is correct, but this Snakebyte is from Indonesia (black plastic sharp nut). I have an LTD Vulture from Korea (better white nut). I am disappointed. I haven't played it much, so I am not talking about that.
