ESP LTD Iron Cross Electric Guitar. Snow White

The ESP LTD Iron Cross is a powerful Signature Series model built to the specifications of James Hetfield, frontman of Metallica and one of the most iconic rhythm guitarists in the world. Based on James’ personal custom design, this commanding instrument delivers aggressive tone, rock-solid construction, and stage-ready visuals to match.

Crafted with set-neck construction, the Iron Cross pairs a mahogany body and maple top with a 3-piece mahogany neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard. The Thin U neck profile and extra-jumbo frets make this guitar lightning-fast and comfortable to play, while the Iron Cross inlay at the 12th fret adds unmistakable signature style.

Loaded with James Hetfield’s own EMG JH SET active pickups, this guitar serves up brutal, high-output tone with clarity and precision across all frequencies. A TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece keep tuning locked in place for punishing riffs and soaring leads alike.

Dressed in a Snow White finish with bold black stripes and iron cross hardware accents, the LTD Iron Cross is a show-stopping instrument built for serious players and Metallica fans alike.
