[Rockyroopam]

[ThepopCornFlakes]

[ravenshield56]

[Shaagaah]

''you need those [pick-up] to play this type of music'' ... Oh I'm sorry, I must not play real metal then because I use WCR Ice buckers pick-up.

[mactavishc]

Lead vocalist, song writer AND rhythm player......just thought I'd mention it...

[2krzychu3]

It looks like he's got a big hangover

[MatKiller1197]

naaa better buy the Gus G 600 fr

[MitchRB15]

"Boy, I have a hard time distinguishing this from the ESP model."

Try the headstock, dickhead.

[Takhralifih]

@MitchRB15 he speaks about quality of Korean made VS Japan made, dick

[MitchRB15]

@Takhralifih Just a general sarcastic comment. Lighten up, sunshine. :)

[Takhralifih]

@MitchRB15 no hard feelings then :)

[Sarrgas]

1:50 Love the Snakebike signature. Sounds awesome!

[elpunk1]

shouldnt the 81 be on the neck??

[killemall1983]

@elpunk1

no... Only kirk uses 81 in neck.

[elpunk1]

@killemall1983 huh i didnt know that

[ModernWarfare3Player]

Yeah and I was the guy who gifted the guitar to James hetfield...

[clcartlidge]

Fuck off Paul.

[aestheticsflynn]

[WhaThebeepProductios]

[sidez81]

snakebike..............(did I just say that?)............signature

HAHA well played sir you kept goin

[edizyilmaz95]

1:50  snakebike :)

[VanishmentMatt]

I don't know about you guys but i cant get over how shitty the headstock design is, its horrid, besides that I like the guitar but the headstock is definitely a dead breaker.

[noobtube3000]

@VanishmentMatt i like the headstock its fucking aggressive.

[TurboSiri]

play i!!!!

[Lolmanx200]

ive been saving up for this for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages

[intwernet]

I want it.

[genericband212]

@clwnz777 if u don't like metallica or esp guitars then why the Fuck did u watch this? Just shut the Fuck up nobody cares about ur opinion

[clwnz777]

@genericband212 Who said I didn't like Metallica or ESP? This isn't a REAL ESP btw. It's just an LTD. So I like ESP guitars, seeings as how I own 1 I constantly use. Nobody cares about my opinion, hmm, apparently if I get a response, you sure must care. I love you too. :D

[blondninja100]

UMMMM....why arnt his signature pickups in his signature guitar?????? 

[metalvocalistwanted]

fuk yea i would totally rock that out. needs to come in a 7string version tho xD

[genericband212]

Omfg ppl do u not understand that this is the LTD version? Of course it doesn't have the het set in it the ESP version more than likely does

[sixstringfretter]

I just played this same guitar last night at Sam Ash. I liked it alot. It needed some set up work, most showroom guitars do, but the overall fit and finish was great. The EMG 85 bridge really screamed, but I didn't care for the 60 in the neck. It was kinda muddy and very thick. An 89 would have been a better choice with the mahogony body. Worth the money, for sur!

[dragz1224]

it would be intresting if they could actualy say what it costs because affordable varries for a lot of people

[coche9009]

doesn't it has the emg James Hetfield signature pickups? that's a little bit weird don't you think?

[ZanesSuccessor]

@coche9009 the guitar came out a little earlier than the pickups

i also think its stupid

[ThePabloguitarman]

i love that guitar :P

[mtwmtw123]

=s how come this has no het set?

[coketherealthing]

I wish I had A signature Guitar but I'm not famous or any good Lol.

[MrCORN1BREAD]

@michelasnowwhite theres a second videoof himplaying it. you should try to look for it instead of bitching about it.

[jonsi666]

Hmm, kinda disappointed that they didn't put in the Hetfields signature pickups.

[chiminari]

OMG!! O,O

[pet9r]

isn't it usually a 60 in the bridge position and a 81 in the neck position?

it was at least in all the other hetfield signature series

[johnrigglesford]

@pet9r no its always been 81 in the bridge and 60 in the neck. :)

[genericband212]

@Metallicafan4ever5 those are more than likely on the esp version this is the esp ltd version but his Sig emgs aren't that different from 81/60 s which is what's on this guitar

[genericband212]

It's only $800 on amazon but I'm stuck between this and the esp ec-401

[alexed18]

that is still a 1,000 dollar guitar it's not to light on the wallet but it is a great guitar

[qu7aker]

you guys wanna hear it? Go listen to Metallica lol or follow the link at the bottom....fools.

[MrNarcoleptik]

sooo a Hetfield signature guitar without the Hetfield signature pickups ...

[MargaretsLight]

I can see the difference of the volume knobs on both pickups.

[MetallicaFan4ever5]

This guitars don't come with EMG JH Set allready?

[ChaosGallery]

I like the "separate video" idea,because sometimes i just want to hear damn guitar!

[GrunesMannchen]

the camera man seems to be a bit slow

[hellisherable]

i don't pretend to be a genius,but why not unite 'Features' and 'Sounds' in one video with time marks for both parts?

[hellisherable]

i don't pretend to be a genius,but why not unite 'Features' and 'Sounds' in one video with time marks for both parts?

[nolliefIip]

Watch the video of him just playing instead bitching and crying that he's not playing it.

[kleschtremania]

play this thing man

[kleschtremania]

play this thing man

[46Godshred]

We Want Longer Vids Here, Please Make Longer Vids For These!!!!

[guitarworld]

@michelasnowwhite All the playing examples for this product are in a separate video called ESP LTD James Hetfield Snakebyte - Sounds

[TheMetalhead804]

@guitarworld well please stop it. its really really annoying cuz no one wants to hear someone talk in one video unless he's going to explain every con and every flaw in the guitar. its kwl when he talks then plays talks then plays.

[hashibatune]

@guitarworld ohh I was wondering forever if Paul played the guitars again

[ResistanceExist]

Well, Ltd 401 Ex has most of the same features, but it's still much cheaper?

[samuelc93]

If only it had 24 frets and different pickups :(

[HippieGTA]

he looks a bit small with this axe...

[Angryification]

The headstock is just ugly.

[0willmaestro0]

for anyone who is going to comment saying 'just play the guitar', this video is sort of aimed at marketing, ie selling this guitar. the whole point is to give the details if youre interested in the guitar itself. if youre too stupid to get that and you still want to hear somebody play it, play a fuckin metallica song.

[clwnz777]

@0willmaestro0 Yeah, because shitty Metallica determines the price or quality of a guitar. Yep.

[0willmaestro0]

@clwnz777 no, because this guitar is james hetfields signature model. dumbass.

[clwnz777]

@0willmaestro0 LOL, that doesn't mean anything. Playing shitty Metallica on it STILL doesn't determine the price or quality, dumbass.

[0willmaestro0]

@clwnz777 fuck youre an idiot. i mean if anyone wants to hear what this guitar sounds like, ie when it is played, then listen to metallica. ynow, cause this is a james hetfield special, and hes in metallica. so you would hear its tone when you listen to metallica. does that make sense now? or are you going to argue this out and make yourself look even more stupid?

id like to see you improvise a solo like kirk hammet can. hes not the best, not even close. sold more albums than you have though ;)

[clwnz777]

@0willmaestro0 HOLY SHIT LOL. Of course, just listen to Metallica because James Shitfield sure does use shitty quality guitars to record an album! Assuming he recorded every album with that same guitar and setup every time! LOL IMPROVISE LIKE KIRK HAMMOCK? He's definitely not good. His "solos" didn't sell the albums, kid. So I'll give you 4/10 for pulling that card out, lol. Pull out some more jokes man!

[0willmaestro0]

@clwnz777 calm down buddy, dont be so defensive. all im trying to say is that its his guitar. if you cant see what this arguement is about i cant be fucked explaing it again.

[clwnz777]

@0willmaestro0 The argument is invalid because it's NOT his guitar. It's based OFF of his guitar but that's all. See what I'm saying, broseph?

[0willmaestro0]

@clwnz777 ...no shit

[ChrisFreddo]

@0willmaestro0 i bet u didnt no that the guitar has 2 volume knobs and no tone knobs!!! i didnt even no that... so shut fuck up

[0willmaestro0]

@ChrisFreddo i did actually, cause i watched the video instead of arguing like a bitch.

[buba28]

finally a review of something good

[elwulfo666]

it just looks so much better in white...

also gibson should do a les paul purple satin

[cholo11]

EMG's being required. Wow. So much bullshit on a single statement.

[joachimekstrom]

Play the muthafucking guitar

[WencesWasHere]

@joachimekstrom wow... Your mind goes further than I thought.

[eliten0Ob]

Those who say that actives = metal is a moron. Period.

[Brndnrchrdsn85]

Anyone else get the vibe that this guy is just reading a script? It's like he don't even like guitars.

[superbeasstt]

"EMG pick-ups which are required for this type of metal"

This guy clearly doesn't know what he's talking about

[tombrenttomb]

One day I wanna meet in Paul from GuitarWorld in person, just so I can see if he really talks like this.

[evansa7x]

They make a different video for the demo, geniuses.

[Zildjiann]

Seriously, just play the fucking guitar. I don't care what kind of neck or body it has. I didn't subscribe for this.

[cholo11]

@Zildjiann then what did you subscribe for? Marketing the guitars, which requires specifications, is the whole point of this.

[HidanxX100]

sdfafasdddddddddd

[HidanxX100]

sdfaf

[Simmen12]

Whabay

[bassiFTW]

why no demos anymore?

[TheWooti]

this probably wont be first comment. or maybe it will. lets see.... *enter*

[rostoccer]

[courageous93]
