ESP LTD James Hetfield Vulture Signature Guitar – Black Satin (B-Stock)

Condition: B-Stock (brand new with minor cosmetic blemishes)

The ESP LTD Vulture in Black Satin is the latest signature model from James Hetfield, legendary frontman and rhythm guitarist of Metallica. A bold take on the V-style guitar, the Vulture is built for crushing riffs, aggressive tone, and tour-ready performance. This B-Stock listing offers the same great instrument at a reduced price due to minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect playability.

Featuring a striking V-shaped mahogany body and set-neck construction, the LTD Vulture is built for excellent sustain and upper fret access. The sleek Black Satin finish complements the aggressive design, while a fast, comfortable Thin "U" 3-piece mahogany neck is topped with a Macassar ebony fingerboard, 22 extra-jumbo frets, and a custom vulture inlay at the 12th fret.

The Vulture is powered by James’s own EMG JH Het Set active pickups, delivering powerful, articulate tones with a blend of passive character and active precision. Each pickup has its own volume control, giving you tonal flexibility, and a 3-way toggle switch allows quick transitions between lead and rhythm settings.

With LTD locking tuners, a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and pro-grade hardware in a matching satin black finish, the LTD Vulture is built to perform on stage and in the studio. Comes complete with an ESP Vulture Form Fit Hardshell Case.
