As the frontman of one of the world's most popular bands and a rhythm guitarist whose influence goes far beyond any other player in the metal realm, James Hetfield has had a massive impact on the world of guitar performance. The Vulture is the most recent of his ESP and LTD Signature Series models.

This striking electric guitar offers a distinctive V-shaped Mahogany body with hooks and bevels that are reminiscent of the famed Metallica logo. Built with a set-neck construction at a 24.75" scale, the LTD Vulture features a 3-piece Mahogany neck and a Macassar Ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets, dot inlays, and a custom vulture inlay at the 12th fret.

The ESP LTD Vulture also comes equipped with a set of James's signature EMG "Het Set" active pickups, designed to capture the clarity and punch of a passive pickup and still retain the legendary active tone that molded a generation. Other pro features of the include discrete volume knobs for each pickup, LTD locking tuners and a TonePros bridge/tailpiece. Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case.

Key Features

  • 3-Piece Mahogany Neck — Layered neck construction improves strength for exceptional tuning stability.
  • Thin "U" Neck Profile — Slim, supportive shape is suited for contemporary players who want to play fast!
  • Macassar Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, fitted with 22 extra jumbo frets for stellar playability.
  • EMG "Het Set" Pickups — The JH-N (neck) has individual ceramic poles and bobbins that feature a large core for more attack, higher output, and fuller low-end. The JH-B (bridge) uses the same type of core but has steel pole pieces, producing the familiar tight attack of the famous EMG 81 pickup but with less inductance for a cleaner bass response.
  • Locking Tuners — Guarantee superior tuning stability and make string changes fast and simple!

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
