This ESP Truckster James Hetfield Signature is a faithful replica that delivers the sound, feel and look of James Hetfield's most famous single-cutaway guitar. It represents the fifth model in the Hetfield Signature series since James and ESP joined forces in 1991. This musical icon in the ESP Eclipse style not only looks fantastic, it's also an absolute burner in terms of sound. There are two active humbuckers here, EMG 81 on the bridge and EMG 60 on the neck. The 60 humbucker offers a lot of performance with a balance of reinforced mids, rich bass and singing highs. This pickup has tightly wound coils, similar to a mini humbucker, and impresses with rich harmonic overtones and above-average sustain. Due to its ceramic magnets the EMG 60 has a fantastic treble response and plenty of output power, ideal for pronounced solos. The 81 is one of the most popular EMGs and comes with a pronounced high end and great sustain, so you can cut through even the densest mix. Furthermore, the look of the Truckster is based on Hetfield's own instrument design with a multi-layer, matte finish, mahogany body with maple top, mahogany neck and a rosewood fingerboard with 22 Extra-Jumbo frets. These play excellently in combination with the not too strong medium neck profile, which wonderfully rounds off the super positive overall impression of the Hetfield signature. So this ESP, which we can offer you in top condition except for minimal signs of wear, is not only interesting for Metallica fans, but will also impress every player with its rich Metal and Rock sound.
