ESP Guitars has announced the launch of a limited-edition James Hetfield Signature LTD Snakebyte SE Baritone Guitar.
Only 500 pieces of the guitar, priced at $1,399, will be made.
It is a replica of the original model currently played by the Metallica frontman on the band's current "WorldWired" tour.
This is the thumbnail of the new music instrument that ESP Guitars portrays on its website:
"The LTD Snakebyte SE Baritone offers set-neck construction at 27'' scale, allowing for an extended lower range than a standard scale guitar. It employs a mahogany body with a distinctive highly-figured quilted maple top in See Thru Purple Sunburst finish, paired to a comfortable thin U-shaped 3-piece mahogany neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard. High-quality hardware on the LTD Snakebyte SE Baritone includes LTD locking tuners, a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and James Hetfield's signature EMG JH "Het" Set active pickups."
