ESP LTD TRUCKSTER JAMES HETFIELD METALLICA SIGNATURE GUITAR EMG HET SET UP CLOSE VIDEO REVIEW

[@Plantsman1989]

I have one of the earlier 'cross over' models, from when they switched from the EMG 81/60 combo to the EMG JH 'Het Set' and it was fitted with Sperzel locking tuners from the factory. Absolute beast of a guitar!

[@ArisAris-ku7np]

Those are very gold to find ! I have the first ones with still the emg 81-60 mine is 2009

How does this stack up against a standard ESP Eclipse? I have one of those and thinking about ordering a Truckster to have in another tune, and i don't wan't do invest in a "lesser" guitar (playwise).

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

I would say you will not notice any difference in tone or sound against an Eclipse.

[@gfhfhrthsefsehtjgngd]

@@EssexRecordingStudios Thank you for your reply!

[@CrazyGuitarGuy]

Dude they changed much on that guitar I got one with Sperzel locking tuner I guess I paid about 1000€ for it.

[@Chaz1134]

You couldn't be more wrong on the finish. It's painted multiple times like the ESP. I got one at the music shop I work at. Some guy spray painted over the relic'd parts to try and make it all black. I used a razor and sand paper to take the top layer of black off and noticed that anywhere i went, i would hit the red, white, then silver paint. So its definitely painted on with multiple colors. I relic'd mine more specific to where I touch the guitar. And sure enough, red, white, and grey paint are underneath. The parts u see that look "pixelated" are just rough edges that give the effect as not every model is relic'd exactly the same. Some you see more white and some you see more silver. Thought I'd give a bit of that info as I'm still working on the guitar right now. EDIT: I bought it for only $40, btw! And still has the original Sperzel locking tuners and bridge. Only thing is I had to order an EMG Het Set.

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

$40????!!! What a score! Congrats dude!

[@Chaz1134]

@@EssexRecordingStudios Thanks man. One of the perks of working at a guitar shop for so many years, lol

[@TechTipIL]

I saw one on a store display for $830. is it a good price?

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

I think so!

[@АндрейЧмыхалов-ф8ц]

So good!

[@michaelrunde4262]

I love James hettfield and I love his guitars. Will you ever get any Kirk Hammett signatures? That would be so dope!! I’m a huge Metallica fan 😂

[@MxEnergyGreen]

Michael Runde he had his gibson V

[@АндрейЧмыхалов-ф8ц]

Dont know why they didn't do something with another switch. Killswitch or something like that.

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

I think that would have been a great idea!

[@b.cguitarcovers2347]

Nice man! James is the man!

[@davidbaker234]

What year was this made in

[@EssexRecordingStudios]

The first two digits on the back of the headstock is the year, so this one is a 2016 :)
