Product information - ESP LTD Vulture Black Satin James Hetfield Signature

Signature guitar in set-neck design with EMG JH "Het" pickup set and TonePros hardware

Signature guitar in the design of the Metallica riffsmith

With the ESP LTD Vulture Black Satin James Hetfield Signature guitar, ESP presents the latest creation of the Metallica riffsmith, who has been relying on ESP guitars since 1988 and can look back on a series of extremely successful instruments since then. With the body shape designed by Hetfield himself, the LTD Vulture sets new standards in terms of metal looks and stage presence, while the typical all-mahogany construction and the EMG JH "Het" pickup set promise the typical Metallica sound.

ESP LTD Vulture Black Satin James Hetfield Signature
The ESP LTD Vulture Black Satin designed by James Hetfield convinces with first-class playing characteristics and the unmistakable Metallica sound.
ESP LTD Vulture Black Satin James Hetfield Signature Back
The glued "Thin U" mahogany neck of the LTD Vulture is easy to play up to the highest registers.

Mahogany and ebony for the fat punch

For the construction of the LTD Vulture, Papa Het wanted proven ingredients in the form of mahogany for the body and the glued neck, so that the electric guitar comes up with a rich and powerful punch in the sound pattern. Ebony is also used for the 22-fret fingerboard, where the Vulture logo marks the 12th fret. Last but not least, the slim "Thin and neck profile makes every even tricky high-speed riffs go out of the fingers as if by itself.

ESP LTD Vulture Black Satin James Hetfield Signature Body
The active humbuckers of the EMG "Het" set have their own volume controls and deliver the unmistakable sound of the Metallica riff master.

EMG "Het" Set Pickups

The electrical tone conversion of the LTD Vulture is handled by the proven EMG JH "Het" set, which the Californian pickup specialists at EMG developed together with James Hetfield to uniquely combine the clarity of active pickups with the organic dynamics of passive units. Here, the EMG JH-B bridge pickup, reinforced with ceramic steel magnets, stands for the typical Hetfield sound, perfectly staging high-speed riffs with crisp Attack and precise focus on mids and highs. The JH-N neck pickup, on the other hand, delivers a transparent sound for sparkling clean sounds and singing leads thanks to its ceramic magnets. The pickup LTD James Hetfield Vulture are also controlled by a 3-way switch and its own volume control.

ESP LTD Vulture Black Satin James Hetfield Signature Headstock
LTD Locking Tuners keep the ESP LTD Vulture James Hetfield Signature guitar securely in the correct tuning.

High-quality and reliable hardware

Last but not least, high-quality hardware that also completes professional shows and recording sessions with unlimited reliability rounds out the features of the ESP LTD Vulture Black Satin. A Tune-O-Matic variant from TonePros is used as the bridge, which can be locked on its pins and thus contributes to the excellent sound characteristics of the ESP LTD Vulture. Generous adjustment options also guarantee precise setting of intonation and string action. On the strikingly designed Vulture headstock, moreover, LTD Locking tuners not only guarantee precise tuning, but also significantly simplify string changes.

ESP LTD Vulture James Hetfield Signature review by Delamar

Rated "Good" by DelamarESP
LTD Vulture James Hetfield Signature download test report

Excerpt: Well, sure, the ESP LTD Vulture James Hetfield Signature is at home in heavy metal. The striking look - this time in a particularly jagged V-shape - the feel and, last but not least, the sound speak a clear language. A mahogany body and three-piece neck meet an ebony fretboard and low-noise EMG pickups for high-gain to the max. So guitarists who love the Metallica sound will get their money's worth.
