Agufish right. and some are just so tied to the artist you can't make it your own like wylde audio and dean MLs. even the snakebyte is too hetfield. the vulture feels more subtle even though it's an exaggerated V.

great demo and playing!

Sounds incredible. Excellent playing.

Great Demo dude...\m/...I love this guitar...great review man...\m/

I like your videos before I even watch them ha. I already know your videos are gonna be badass so I just go ahead and press like

It would be cool to get different colours/styles of the guitar, kinda like his Snakebyte Explorer🤘🏻

I think that this is the best sounding song so far. Good work Hunter and Pad!

Never been into the Snakebyte, but that look with the altered corners etc. fits the V perfectly, love this model. And I can tell the little Hetfield in you took over in this video haha

Haha, yeah I agree with you on the Snakebite. It's pretty whacky, and the guitar looks massive as well. And yes, I may have let little Hatfield take over the song-writing for this one lol

Do a demo on the snakebyte sometime in the future please. great video as always.

this is the perfect metal guitar. I hope you kept it!

Great tone, both distorted and clean!

I remember trying a Het Set in a white Snakebyte and they completely transformed this little laney combo into a hot, devilish monster. Sure, nothing like a 5150 or recto but the gain was tighter and more aggressive and the thing had attitude for days. That was a great pickup set.

those pups are sick. got'em in my Les Paul and love'em.

good review !

I am a Jackson rhoads V guy (have 3, going for number 4 this year), but this is another V I'll definitely be adding to my collection. I have the het set in my ec1000, and they are killer. Cant wait for another guitar with those pickups!

That's a sick rhythm tone 👌

Those pickups sound fucking amazing... i gotta get them

The Puppets-esque interlude was very well done. Great stuff, as always.

Ahh I need this so bad!!!

I'm getting a disposable heroes vibe from your demo on this

Man I played this at guitar center... absolutely just amazing wish I could have the guitar. The feeling of the body is fuck awesome

Great review (as always). You asked why did ESP do this with the 14" radius over the 12"? Because, unless you're in a country or blues band, 12" radius sucks on a guitar. I bought a M1000 a few years back and loved everything about the guitar but couldn't get used to playing anything fast above the 10th fret. I couldn't figure it out until I realized it wasn't a compound radius. I sold it in less than a month. I have a large guitar collection (I've been playing 30+ years) so I've got a strat, a tele, an SG, a Les Paul, etc. They're great for "that" kind of playing. But if you want to blast some metalcore (or Taylor Swift) a radius in the 14" and up department just plays smoother. That's why so many guys shred the Ibanez, Jackson, etc. range. Personally, I think Schecter has been making my favorite guitars for the last decade or so. Just my two pennies. Keep up the great work.

Badass guitar and video.

I fucking love your vid, quality as fuck. keep it up. Also can you do a review of 2017 HP flying v gibson? Q & A: Would you ever do a gaming channel? like a separate channel?

Hey man. That's pretty badass playing you got going on there. I've seen a few of your vids now and you can not only jam tight but you are articulate and concise with your words. Kudos to you. Now, what do you think of the satin finish and fingerprints and smudges? Is it apparent after a playing session?

around 2:15, I can imagine that soft dual-melody being in the next 'tallica album, could be, should be, I want it to be but in E standard interpretation of that y'know? Pretty cool man. Been a fan of your channel for couple years.

Holy shieet! I have to get this guitar. There are all the features I like. V-shape, het-set, volume knob and toggle switch position, thin-U neck shape. Only thing I would change would be the colour. Satin white would be awesome.

U have such great gear

anything with Hetfield's name on it is awesome. I have a Het Set in my EC400vf and they sound much better than the Seymour Duncan 59/JB it use to have

Pretty awesome! I prefer the explorer shape over the V, but both are sweet guitars.

The LTD DV8 R is pretty awesome as well.

I confirm those pickups are wayy too hot. Owned them a couple of years ago, fit in a Gibson Flying V. They were so hot that thought I screwed up the installation! as wasn't able to get a good clean sound...until I learnt to roll vol down doh! Not the best choice for versatility, but for an axe purposed for metal are the best

A matte V with EMGs? I am THERE! I love James' clean tones and I'm glad that this sounds very similar to his. However, I don't like his new live tone. His last good live tone was in the 90s, before Madly In Anger with the World. But you made his guitar sound better than him! The only thing I wish for is a 24 fret model, lol

Great review!!! I have been waiting for you to review this one. Did it need a major set up out of the box?

This guitar makes me wanna sell everything I own to have it in my hands. So cool!

Fucking sweet demo

Its cool I love LTD V shape guitars and others that have cool designs on them like the Devil Girl guitar by LTD. I want that guitar soooo badly 😍💝🎸

I love how the headstock looks like a vultures beak. Metal as fuck

it looks really cool and for that price point I would for sure consider one but it would depend on that angle where your right forearm rests because if it is too sharp then with the way I play it gives my hand pins and needles after about 30 minutes of playing but if the angle is enough it would rock I will have to go try to find one in stock to check it out sounds very cool! I wonder how it would sound on my Blackstar 20w ID:CORE

Go ahead with it Mr Hetfield!!

I believe the neck radius difference between the ltd and ESP signature models is because it makes it easier for people to play. Especially younger players with smaller hands. At least that's what I've been told when I emailed them.

Damn it ! I thought ita really $399! The guitar sounds good man

Is there any chance of a review of the semi-new Synyster Gates Custom models? Every review I can find seems to be insanely biased, great video btw keep up the good work

I can tell you were going for some real Metallica vibes in the guitar tones. nice job man! \m/

Hey mate, know you are busy, would you recommend this guitar or the Ltd iron cross. I’m undecided as to what one to get. Never owned a V so I am leaning towards the vulture.

I know there hard to find but please do the 84 explorer cool vid btw

Hey, what programm do you use for editing your videos, it looks awesome ? !

Now you need to review the Snakebyte to complete the circle.

big like on the composition! very Metallica style!

I love Hets sigs, never tried a V though I'm more on an Explorer/LP style guy. The nut looks really badly cut on this though. Love the EMG het set pickups musical yet aggressive, ive had no issues getting clean sounds with them. Cheers for the review :)

What tuning was that guitar in when u played harvester of sorrow clean????

I love that shape. Never caught my eye much while browsing the interwebs, but seeing someone hold it...its like a cross between a flying v and a king v with beveled edges and in satin black. awesome. That's a lot of guitar for $400! *facepalm*

Agufish Ok awesome man, keep making videos. Your the best at making reviews!

Id like to know where you found one of theses for $399?

14" radius is even better for me, more bends without fretting out at lower action.

Is the esp version available ?

Looks just like Michael Amotts “Ninja” when he used to be with esp only with a different headstock.

Those are some fast downstrokes

How does this compare with his snakebite and iron cross models i wonder ??

I had played an LTD Snakebyte last week, and though a big part of my playing-style comes from Hetfield and Hammett, and my practice-regime consisted out of a lot of MetallicA for years, I didn't really "glue" with it for some reason. - The fretboard/neck felt a bit edgy (literally, the edge was kinda poke-y), and I had a hard time fretting for some reason. - To be fair, it might not have been set up well as a demo/showroom-model and perhaps I wasn't that warmed up. - And... maybe I shouldn't be trying to sit Classical style with a friggin' explorer, but still... - It didn't feel worth 1000+ Euros. The Vulture is one cool-ass V that I'm still somewhat considering, but only if it were significantly cheaper. - Then again, I tend to steer clear of signature-products. They can work for me occasionally, but it's still "their" thing. And I'm not a teenaged fanboy of artists anymore to buy it "as a fan". That said, again, I appreciate signature products that have a new twist to them, such as most (if not all) of Hetfield's signature products. - His latest guitars, the pickups, his picks (which I've used for a few years, but am now going to replace).

Just to add something useful, if I had to give critique on this guitar (for me personally); I also like the shape, being a bit more of an off-set (or asymmetrical) type, as I personally prefer the Rhoads V over a symmetrical V as well. The bevels and such are indeed a nice touch. Gives a cool modernistic Metal look. - I also like the placement of the controls, I notice now, which is (almost) the way I would put them on a guitar (the switch could still be closer to the "playing area" for me). So I like the fact that the switch is closest and the knobs more towards the "back". Which way around the volumes are... I tend to prefer a single master volume anyway, so I would probably re-wire that. - But I guess James likes to have them individual either to control the gain or to do the killswitch-thingy... On the more negative side; It's too bad there's no straight string-pull at the headstock and it's also not "reversed" for the sake of string-length/stability. There doesn't seem to be great upper fret access to even reach the 22nd fret easily (and I personally prefer 24 most of the time, but that aside). And though I think the EMG "Het Set" is a cool addition, being like a passive-inspired 81/60-combo, I'm not a big fan of the grind-y sizzle-y sound it has. - I might have to replace it if I used it for more than recent MetallicA. Speaking of hardware; I'd have to replace the standard bridge with one with roller-saddles, because my Hetfield-inspired string-punching destroys strings on those regular pointy saddles. :P Just saying; A lot about it would need to change for it to justify the price. Guitars are very personal. Is it worth it in general?... Perhaps... I suppose the quality is good, but you're probably also paying some for both the company's and artist's names. Overall, still seems like a great product. It indeed does look like a very uniform and well-designed instrument. Cause I do like the straightforward and no-nonsense approach of it. It just always comes down to preference and usability. Any common guitar-player who has this has a great instrument, though. As for the logo/emblem on the headstock... You might know this, but just so you know, it's probably by James' preference because of how he's into cars and such. I mean, he likes to make logos and emblems look like those on vehicles. - I kinda like it, but it's just the chrome color that makes it look a little "off". At least when it's in a bright white light, which it will of course reflect.
