User questions & answers

Question:	Best through an electric guitar amp or acoustic amp
Answer:	sounds great through both, But if you want it for Acoustic, Stick with an Acoustic amp.
Question:	Work without amplifier?, that is to say, something like "acoustic mode
Answer:	For practice session, works great acoustically. In a small setting, I think it's loud enough. But for a stage or large room, I would not recommend it unless you amp it.
Question:	Is the preamp the tl-3 or tl-6 on the steel string natural
Answer:	The preamp on my nylon strings guitar is tl-3.
Question:	Does it actually sounds like an acustic when unplugged
Answer:	Doesn't really sound very impressive when unplugged, but you can hear yourself well enough that it's useful for quiet practice.

ESP LTD TL-6N Thinline-6 Nylon Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Natural Gloss

Your ESP LTD TL-6N Thinline-6 nylon-string classical acoustic-electric guitar boasts an irresistibly alluring resonance and distinct style, closing the gap between classical and electric guitars. A resonant maple-topped mahogany body gives off a bright sound with just enough depth to achieve a well-balanced output, and a crystal-clear B-Band Electret film transducer with active electronics pumps your playing through a B-Band T-7 preamp, complete with three-band EQ control, onboard tuner, master volume control, and phase switch. Part of ESP's TL series, the TL-6N boasts a sturdy mahogany neck topped with a smooth rosewood fingerboard spanning 22 jumbo frets.

Founded in 1996, ESP's LTD brand helped bring the quality and prestige of ESP to a more affordable price in order to accommodate all players.

With numerous different model families to choose from, we are sure there is an LTD guitar perfect for you!

Unique F Hole

Take this classical acoustic electric for a spin and hear how much resonance each string achieves. That's due to the acoustic resonant chamber built from maple and mahogany. Maple brings in a rounded brightness to each note, while mahogany keeps things nice and warm, pushing those low and middle frequencies. This instrument boasts a somewhat atypical design for a classical guitar, with its narrow soundhole to the side rather than right under the strings -- a style that'll make you stand out visually as well as tonally from the crowd.

Rosewood w/ Graphtech Nubone XB Saddle

Your ESP LTD TL-6N Thinline classical acoustic electric guitar was designed to play just as silky as it sounds. Its Graphtech NuBone-XB nut and saddle primes each note and chord to maintain lasting intonation, lingering sustain, and overall articulate projection as your fingers make their way across the fingerboard. At the intersection of design between acoustic, electric, and classical guitars, this beauty allows you to apply techniques based in electric playing to a classical acoustic style.

Fishman TL-3 Preamp w/ Onboard Tuner

A B-Band Electret film transducer with active electronics captures the colorful dynamics of each string and fires it through a B-Band T-7 preamp to forge a signal eager to hit your amplifier or PA system. An easy-to-read onboard tuner features a colored display screen that turns from blue to green when the string is in tune -- so it's easy to get tuned up fast in low lighting settings. You also have a phase switch, a master volume control, and three-band EQ control at your fingertips to tweak your output.

Thanks to the active EMG humbucker (Hatfield's own custom JH "Het" set), you'll get everything from the tight chugging rhythms to the screaming leads you'd expect from the metal axe that started it all. If you want to sound like a metal legend, this ESP LTD Snake byte is the perfect place to start.

Question:	Is this guitar good to play or more for display
Answer:	My husband loves playing it . Works amazingly

Question:	Does this come with a soft carrying case
Answer:	Mine did not come with a case. I am currently using a base guitar case to take it out. It does not fit in my other electric guitar case.
Question:	How long does this take to ship if I ordered with prime
Answer:	Typical Prime Shipping.
Question:	Is this guitar suitable for anything but metal, as-is? I like goth, shoegaze, and some sludge metal
Answer:	Baritone guitar was originally designed for country music and surf music. It just added more depth to the sound having mastered octaves within the group. Think if a baritone guitar this way; it’s basically playing a seven string without the seventh string. Same basic tuning and range. It just has a longer scale allowing for it to tune to B standard instead of E standard. To me it sounds gorgeous clean and even better distorted. It’s PERFECT for sludge and shoe gaze. In fact most recordings you hear where the band is tuned lower it was most likely a baritone guitar used to make that recording. If you try to tune to the B or Dropped A race on a standard 24.75-25.5” scale guitar you’re going to have to use crazy heavy strings so it doesn’t sound flubby and then you’ll most likely run into intonation problems as well as having to slit the nut for tuning stability. A baritone guitar (26.5” scale and above ) is ALWAYS preferable to down tuning a standard guitar just because the sound and stability are far far superior
Question:	baritone guitar"??? I have been playing for over 40 years and never heard of a baratone guitar. What does baratone imply
Answer:	Baritone guitar was created in the 1950’s for country and surf music. Actually I believe the Fender bass VI came first and then was basically converted to a baritone guitar. Baritone guitar is a longer scale guitar beginning at 26.5” and your standard range to truly be a baritone is generally 27.7”. The longer scale allows for more string tension and is generally tuned in B standard. When it was created it was just to give a layered octave within the total band mix for more depth. Baritone guitar actually sounds extremely gorgeous both clean and dirty. Generally when you down tune below drop C on a standard guitar you have to exponentially go up on your string gauges to eliminate flubby tone and string tension. Then you have to slot the nut to accommodate the larger string gauge but you generally still have intonation issues because of the shorter scale on a standard guitar. So in essence a baritone guitar is a 7 string guitar without the 7th string. It’s the same low B tuning with superior playability, tone, and stability. It’s the unholy union of bass and guitar to create the Mecca of tuning low. When I say tuning low though don’t let it fool you. The sound is gorgeous and full. Nearly any and every recording you’ve ever heard with a lower tuned guitar was most likely made using a baritone guitar. It’s a must own for any studio

The EMG 89R at the neck forges a slightly warmer output with plenty of body, while the EMG 81R at the bridge features that aggressive and powerful EMG sound heard from many different guitarists in the metal and thrash scene. Play around with your pickup settings and dual volume controls to hear the huge dynamic reach these two pickups can deliver on demand.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with a case
Answer:	Yes, it does!
Question:	Does the white turn yellow over time? Does the black satin get glossy spots from playing? Trying to decide between the two
Answer:	I believe the white is polyurethane and that it does not change color. I haven't noticed the black satin getting glossy.

ESP LTD James Hetfield Snakebyte Electric Guitar, Satin Black

ESP LTD's James Hetfield Snakebyte electric guitar may carry the Metallica frontman's name and signature pickups, but with its set-neck construction and locking tuners, it's got features to please just about anyone with a wild and heavy playing style.

Founded in 1996, ESP's LTD brand helped bring the quality and prestige of ESP to a more affordable price in order to accommodate all players. A wide range of LTD models are made to cover everyone from beginning players to serious working musicians. With numerous different model families to choose from, we are sure there is an LTD guitar perfect for you!

Hetfield-Designed Pickups Roar

Players on a mission to nail those heavy Metallica rhythm guitar sounds will appreciate the pickups loaded in the Snakebyte. The EMG JH 'Het Set' pickups were designed in collaboration with Hetfield himself, to evoke the EMG pickups he's used for the past 30 years. The neck pickup includes ceramic poles and bobbins, while the bridge pickup uses steel pole pieces. The results for both are higher-output and fuller in the low end than the EMG 60/81 combo Hetfield previously used.

Custom Snakebyte Marker

The mahogany neck is set into the body for improved sustain, and is cut in a thin-U neck contour for speedy play. The 22 extra-jumbo fret ebony fretboard features a custom Snakebyte marker centered around the 12th fret.

Thrash Away While Staying in Tune

To ensure the Snakebyte was ready for wild and aggressive players, ESP outfitted the guitar with high-end features like Sperzel locking tuners, and a TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece. Though the hardtail bridge does not offer whammy bar potential, the locking bridge and tuners mean you can beat down on the low strings or make wide bends on the high strings without worrying about unintentional detuning.

Product description

The SH-7 EverTune is the LTD Signature Series model of guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, the seven-string innovator and founding member of nu-metal icons Korn. The design of the SH-7ET was a result of Brian working closely with the ESP product development team, and has a body style with horns that are slightly thinned and streamlined for a sleek, menacing look. Its EverTune constant tension bridge system ensures that it stays in tune (and with excellent intonation all over the neck) in nearly any condition. The SH-7ET makes use of innovative Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups, with the Alnico version in the neck and the Ceramic version in the bridge position. The pickups provide an amazing range of great tones on their own, and the SH-7ET also provides a push-pull tone pot to access two different voicings of the pickups. The SH-7ET is a neck-thru-body design with a flamed maple top in See Thru Purple finish over its comfortable, contoured basswood body. It employs a three-piece maple neck at 25.5" scale with an ebony fingerboard, and offers glow-in-the-dark side markers so that the fret position can easily be seen even on dark stages.
