The body shape is very divisive. Sounds very in your face. MESA + ESP is a great combo.

I owned the white one , 1 of he best playing guitars i played just fit me had to sell it just sucks. Hit some rough times and still regret it today really wish i still had it,will hit me forever man.

I've never been a fan of the Explorer body shape, but I am a fan of ESP. Great demo. Looking forward to those Mr. Scary ToneX captures coming out. Keep up the top notch work, Jarrod.

Cool guitar

I wish they made the v shape JH model in that camo finish

That would be fantastic 👍🏻

Cool guitar!

Playing in a Metallica tribute, I have 6 of Hetfield’s ESP signatures, including the OG white ESP Snakebyte. I’ve had that since 2012 and it has always been my go-to 👍🏻 I’ve had the ESP version of that camo Snakebyte on order from the custom shop for about 18 months now and I can’t wait to finally play it 🤘🏼

Hell to the yes

The desert camo version looks fun.

Really dig the snakebyte just not used to playing a guitar without a trem

Same here. It's so wierd for me lol

Man I’ve never had an Explore style before I got the Schecter E-1 FRS coming. 1100 new with Sustamic, Floyd 1500, SS frets, extended range, carbon fiber trim and trus reenforcement.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Hey brother! Glad to see you're still kicking ass. What do you think about the pickups? How do they sound comparison to emg 81/85 set he used to play?

Thank you very much. To your question, unfortunately, I really couldn't answer that definitively because I've never played any of his other guitars. In order to give you a definitive answer, I'd have to do a side-by-side comparison

Looks like u got the rack version of the Badlander, what else is in the rack with it?

I think he has the actual head version.

less talk more rock

The LTD Vulture is my favorite looking V but I think it's overpriced.

Dude you need to try one of Kirk Hammett's signature guitars, preferably the KH 602 I think you would really dig it.its 24 fret with a real Floyd rose and it's a strat style guitar

Thanks for commenting Mike. If I get a chance, I'll definitely try one out

Damn that cable jack placement is bugging the shit out of me. That can't be good for the cable

Is this still indonesian built or korea again? Would never spend this much on an indonesian one…

$1,800. for an LTD = No Thanks!

I agree with you and I love ltd guitars but the price jump has been enormous over the past 2 years because they used to be $1,200
