ESP LTD James Hetfield Vulture Electric Guitar in Black Satin B-Stock

The James Hetfield Vulture delivers a thin U-contoured neck and lightweight mahogany construction that sits comfortably in hand for extended playing sessions. This B-stock unit features minor cosmetic finish flaws—documented in photos—but arrives fully functional and represents significant savings on a signature instrument designed for aggressive, high-output playing. The set-neck construction provides solid sustain and tonal stability across the frequency range.

Playability & Feel

The 24.75" scale length with 22 XJ frets and ebony fingerboard delivers fast, responsive playability across the neck. A 42mm molded nut and 305mm fingerboard radius maintain comfortable string spacing and smooth bending characteristics, while the thin U neck contour reduces hand fatigue during intensive play.

Tone & Electronics

Active EMG JH SET pickups at both neck and bridge positions generate the thick, articulate output required for heavy riffing and lead work. Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece with LTD locking tuners ensure rock-solid intonation and tuning stability, while the straightforward Vol/Tone/Toggle Switch electronics layout keeps control intuitive during performance.
