Matt the cringe master.
I have this guitar in Snow White it's a nice guitar I don't play it much though it's only for show really
Don’t listen to tone much eh? Go listen to album then tweak your amp. Then make another video.
Hi from Spain!
is the neck a D or C shape and is it thin?
Great review! Worth noting to those looking to purchase this guitar in 2022 and beyond, they've discontinued the glossy black and have since started making ones with a SATIN finish.
Personally this killed any interest I had in the instrument, because satin finishes end up looking like straight garbage after a month or two of steady playing.
Do you need a specific amp for this guitar? Because of the emgs are why I am asking.
Having both the black and the white which one in person looks more awesome ? I’m torn between them but I can only afford one of them ????
I want to buy this for my son who plays a ton of metal solos. He tends to use a whammy bar for some of his solos but this guitar doesn't have one. Do you think that limits anything not having one? I just wanted to ask a guitarist. That's the only thing holding me back from ordering is the question of the whammy bar
Anyone got the black satin finish? Just got one, wondering does it get glossy over time from the arm resting on it etc.
What kind of guitar stand works for this?
What is the name of the song at 11:20 ?
Screw ads…
I've been dying to ask someone who has this guitar if it would be good for a beginner or what would be. I honestly know nothing about guitars but really wanna learn! I love the look of this guitar and love Metallica just wondering if it's what I should get?
Riff master? No…
Just ordered this guitar. Can't wait to play it
Bought a used Snakebyte today, from a nice fella and it is amazing.
the first models of this guitar had sperzel locking tuners. I have one from 2011 with them.
Really don’t like the tone at all but good vid
Why do people when they come out of these guitars always play the same riffs the same chugging crap over and over again ????
Matt, for metal orientated music, is having a whammy bar on the guitar necessary or not? Commentary please.
Do they have a whammy bar on them?
Is this heavier than a les paul. I have a les paul but I’m looking for something heavier
I like how you pick the same way as James lol I do it too ???????? I’m getting the Snow White one ????????
awesome guitar n playing but even high end blackstar sounds pale I have tube amp blackstar , speaking from experience and from this video I can hear
If everyone loves this ltd the esp custom must be some unit!
bought gibson explorer B2 came with broken neck and it didnt feel what i paid, so its going back price dose not match the guitar. ill go for this guitar but white one. dose it comes with case?
Sperzels is on esp japan model not ltd like u are using in esp web have correct especifications
It is lightweight and balanced, and that makes it very comfortable. I have a '93 Gibson Explorer and it's quite heavy. Also have the Epiphone '84 Reissue Explorer, and that's lightweight like the Snakebyte. Both the Gibson and the Epiphone are thicker, and the Snakebyte is thin (better).
I believe that's the HET SET, but you said the bridge was an 81.
Just tried it out today, feels and plays amazingly fast, surprisingly lightweight for the size, but it costs £1200 in the UK
I wish mine was 420
Sounds great
Nice the riffs played totally wrong… sheesh dude
Okay so im 12. 13 in 2 months. I'm a decent guitarist and metallica is my #1. I love James (NO HOMO). I told my mom I wanted this. She said it's mine in a month!
What song was that at 8:40 ?
That’s a relief that it’s balanced!
What do you think of the Satin Black Version?
They bring out an LTD Version of the bariton purple Burst snakebyte ????
“Explorer on steroids” lol
I totally agree with that
Does it it fit in an Explorer case?? I want to buy the Snow White version but i can't find a case for it
Awesome review but I have a question is it any good for leads?if it sounds bad with lead tone then thats a major deal breaker thanks.
the guitar is awesome but the pickup set is a fail for emg in my opinion.
Man I see that Het had a huge influence on your playing, just like on myself. I picked up the guitar because of James Hetfield. Now I only need to get an explorer and ditch this chinese fender strat copy. Here in Europe where I live the av. salary is 400e so it's not so easy but the day will come!! I'm a sub with my other account. Cheers man! Metallica m/ !
Hey Matt how does the quality of the Snakebyte compare with your E11 Eclipse?
These videos are great, but to really get a good feel for the guitar, I have to play it at the store
(thanks for reply about the finish… i heard the comments at end of video that answered my question so i deleted it. didn't realise you had replied. thanks for super quick response!)
It makes me sad when players have a head and cabinet set up but end up still sounding like they're using a $40 distortion pedal.
Snakebyte or iron cross….I’m torn dammit! Help me out here Matt.
