Hi Remi, Yes it's very easy to access the 22F.

When it comes to the satin black finish on the Snakebyte and other guitars that have a satin finish, could one theoretically buff the guitar to turn the finish to a glossier one?

Also, does the Snow White version have a similar satin finish?

Hi Matthew, In order to turn a black satin guitar into a black gloss guitar, you would have to put a gloss clear coat over the top of the satin coat. This is so that you have enough finish to sand and buff. You could try it on the satin top coat, but typically satin top coats are very thin, so there is not much paint to work with (you would need to sand before buffing). Probably the best you will get is a semi gloss, but not full gloss and you might risk sanding through the finish into the color layer causing more complications. So our best advice is put a clear coat over the top to do it right.

The Snow White version is a gloss paint. We always use the word "Satin" in our color names, so if it is not referred to as satin then it is a gloss finish.

Hi. I’m interested in the LTD Snakebyte. My question is: is there easy access to the 22nd fret? I do a lot of soloing on the upper registers. I have your LTD Vulture. It’s a beast. Love it. I also have your EII Arrow. I’m a V guy but I’d really like to get my hands on the Snakebyte. It will depend on the access to the the 22nd fret. Thanks.

Hi Alex, I would say that if you like your Vulture model and that access is ok for you, then the Snakebyte would be similar or even slightly better. Although it doesn't have our "set thru" heel shape which is what most people prefer, the access to the upper frets is very good compared to our typical old style Eclipse. You can see from the photo showing the back of guitar that the body shape at the neck joint allows you to easily reach the 22nd fret. Hope that helps.
