Offered for sale is a rare early-production ESP LTD James Hetfield Signature model, manufactured in Korea in 2005 (serial: W0506264).
These early Korean-made Hetfield LTDs are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly in original condition. Produced during what many players consider the golden era of Korean LTD manufacturing, this guitar represents a highly collectible period of ESP's history and predates many later production runs.
Features include:
• Original EMG active pickups
• Original hardware
• James Hetfield signature headstock
• Distinctive aged/relic finish
• Flag inlays
• Set-neck construction
• Includes heavy-duty flight case
This guitar has been carefully kept and remains a fantastic playing and recording instrument. The neck is comfortable, the frets are in good condition.
Early Korean Hetfield LTDs rarely appear on the market compared to later production examples, and finding one from 2005 with its original components is becoming increasingly uncommon. Whether you're a Metallica collector, an ESP enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique high-quality Korean-built instrument, this is an opportunity to acquire a piece that is becoming harder to replace each year.
The flight case is included in the sale and has protected the guitar for many years. It shows cosmetic wear from use but remains solid and fully functional.
