When EMG got together with James Hetfield, they created something amazing - the JH pickup set.

Oversized ceramic and steel pole pieces give your ESP Snakebyte a mix of ultra-tight bite, frothy crunch, and extreme low-end punch.

By the mid-80s ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye toward playability and craftsmanship has made ESP Guitars one of the most visible and prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. Each ESP guitar is still made in Japan. Their commitment to quality is second to none, and their impressive roster of endorsers proves it. From George Lynch to Ron Wood to Gus G., Kirk Hammett, and Alexi Laiho, ESP makes the guitars that today's guitar heroes use.
