New Hetfield Signatures?
New Hetfield Signatures?
I just joined and missed the potential new arrivals for 2020's first two emails. Did they release any info on the Camo Snakebyte and Natural Finish Vulture? If theyre even going to be made available to the public?
@Guitarahollica Welcome to the forums!
As far as the Hetfield Sigs are concerned I don't think they have plans to make either a production line model. The camo snakebyte uses a specific pattern from a hunting company that allowed James to use their signature pattern (https://www.kuiu.com/) and I would suspect ESP would not want to pay per unit to license this finish. They've actually removed the camo snakebyte from the custom shop gallery page probably sometime last year.
The natural Vulture was merely a prototype of James's first run of the signature series vulture and never saw paint as it wasn't ready for prime time. It wasn't meant to be a natural finish, but the satin that you see today. That's why there is no coating or gloss on it, it's unfinished. Hope this helps!
Did someone share this information with you or is it just wishful thinking?
