ESP Snakebyte & LTD Iron Cross Pics
ESP Snakebyte & LTD Iron Cross Pics
I got motivated to take pics of my Snakebyte and Iron Cross. There aren't too many personal pics out there of these guitars from diffrent angle so I posted them elsewhere yesterday. Figured this may be the place people would look though, so here's the Snakebyte first....
Cool pictures man! The guitars look like statues more than musical instruments!! (Could be something for the city of SanFrancisco to put up to honor James and Metallica!!)
Are the guitars brand new ??? Looks awesome anyway!! (I'm guessing they sound as incredible as they look...)
Thanx Garnoch (You should pursue a carreer in photography!!! If you haven't already)

Thanks yeah I had to ordered it separatly because it cames with a case only in USA.... but I had to order one with it because it was impossible for me to have it without a beautiful case it is this shape of case and I don't know why... in my remains I said a cecff case but I don't care because when I had it in hands I immediately loves it *_* it's so beautiful to open a case and see a guitar as awesome as it in *_* (The first time I was "Waouh unbelievable !!! ")
I haven't but I'll say this. I bought the Snakebyte first. I had been going back and forth on the white or black one and when the white Iron Cross was announced I knew the black Snakebyte was the right choice. I have a South Korean LTD JH-600EC (NGD - ESP LTD JH-600 EC) and a Schecter Hellraiser Extreme (3-Tone Sunburst Schecter Hellraiser Extreme) that are 99% as good as the ESP Snakebyte, so once I confirmed the Iron Cross was made there too, I decided on saving the money and getting the LTD. It too is easily 99% a Japanese ESP. In other words, if the ESP cost a little more, I would have bought it, but not at the current price difference. Now maybe the ESP uses "better wood" but I can't see the grain so I don't care. It's also possible the inlays on the ESP are made out pearl and the LTD is made out of a different material, I don't know, but wouldn't be surprised. But I will say the fret work on all my South Korean guitars are top notch and I'll also say that I prefer the LTD locking tuners and nut over the Sperzel tuners and bone nut. I may be one of the few that just don't care for a bone nut though. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I have the ESP Snakebyte but I'm just as glad that I didn't pay for the ESP Iron Cross.
