The LTD Iron Cross is a Signature Series model of James Hetfield, the frontman of Metallica and one of the world's most highly respected rhythm guitar players in any genre. The Iron Cross is based on James' personal custom instrument design, and features set-neck construction of a mahogany body with maple cap, and a three-piece mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard and 22 extra-jumbo frets with an Iron Cross inlay at the 12th fret. The LTD Iron Cross is powered by James' own EMG JH SET active pickups, and includes a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece.

This could be a video on how to escape copyrights in RUclips 😂 Dagan is the master!!
MASTER!
@@jaspera6908MASTER!!
Had this guitar for almost 5 years now, it’s easily my favorite one to play
I'm close to ordering one...been stocking up on my Kirk Hammett guitars...recently bought the snakebyte in white...this one is next.
@@darrenhill3514 how is the snakebyte ?
A special lady that was in my life bought me this guitar cause i loved the way it looked. When i played it i was pleased how natural the guitar felt in my hands. Now she gone an I have something to always remember her by
There is a blues song in that !!
I own one of these. It’s by far my favourite in my collection. So comfortable, clear and dynamic. Lots of fun to play and sounds fantastic loud.
Playing sad but true in E gets past the copyright?? Amazing 😂😂
Dagan, you are the best and you’ve done it again! Another awesome video for a great sounding guitar.
That tone 🔥🔥🤘
I have the LTD Truckster, and it’s an absolute beast. I really want an Iron Cross though.
Looking forward to seeing Dagan live this Friday. You might even get a free beer out of me.
Well it wasn’t a free beer but a free tequila seemed to work just as well. Great night thanks.
Great vid, Dagan! Got some Metallica goin' along with your style, too. I have the LTD ESP White Zombie so I'd definitely ROCK this! I love EMGs! Show us the case!!
I think I'm in love with this man
Awesome guitar, Hetfield rocks!
I've got this guitar, together with Blackstar 5HTMetal and Chug pedal rocks a lot . Alternatively with Spark 40 and simulation all of this guitar stuff, rolls as well. Currently before new Metallica album all 3 revealed songs sound perfect with this gear
I have always liked this guitar and I still think I need to get one lol!
Need a video on the snakebite Camo.
Abrazo Mexicano!!!!
🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻
Cool guitar!!🤟
That's pretty cool!
I had one of these back in 2015 and I’ve regretted selling it ever since. So much so I bought a used one from Guitar Center the other day. It is just a sweet bad azz guitar.
Been thinking about starting guitar and I’m deciding on this or the Snakebyte. Which one do you suggest??
@@colesimpson8065this is probably a more every day kinda guitar. Snakebyte is great, but a little less conventional
My son working for a record store now and the owner just got a replica iron cross snow white that simply sounds TOUGH..looks like he'll sell it for 1600 which would make it primed to sell quickly..Hetfield signature stuff FLIES..AWESOME GUITAR
Can you please review the Gary Holt ltd 600 would absolutely love to see you rip that 🎸 🙏
He knows soooo many riffs
Could you do a review on the Kirk Hammett Purple sparkle?
5:32 sounds like civil war
i am having a hard time to find out which one to buy between iron cross and the snakebyte. which one is best of these ones? i can also add that i have a ESP LTD EX-350 which i love the shape off. So naturaly i'm drawn toward the snakebyte. but it would be nice to have someones opinion^^ i know the best i could do is to go and try them both, but my local music shop does not have any off them in stock
Dagan is cool
Yo Dagan can you please review the Scott ian king v guitar from Jackson!
Picked one up local pawn shop $450. Almost mint.
Any Kirk Hammet guitars and LTD ESP Snake bite would be great.
Nice review even though I'm not gonna buy this I just love watching dagan talk about guitars
My dumb self played one of these in a guitar center and was using the top switch wondering why the two pickups sounded so similar…lol
I don´t know the real difference about LTD and ESP.... websites says LTD is cheaper, that´s okay... but like Squier to Fender. However ESP is only Custom Shop? I can´t find any ESP in any regular store.
I guess woods, hardware and finishes are better picked and made on the ESP versions. As for the rest, yes they're pretty similar (but NOT the same).
Most LTDs are made in Korea. ESPs are only US or Japan
Basically it's like this:
ESP is the Made in Japan custom shop, that's the real ESP.
Then there's a Made in USA ''pseudo''- custom shop, that is not a proper custom shop though and labels their models as ESP.
The difference between these 2 is: the Japanese custom shop is a real custom shop, they will build you whatever you want, if you pay them. The US one, only offers a limited variety of models & specs, despite being labelled as a ''custom shop''.
Then you also have the ''E-II'' Series, which are Made in Japan production models, formerly known as ''ESP Standard Series''. 10 years ago they re-branded this line to ''E-II'' which was an idiotic marketing move. These guitars are build in the same Japanese factory as the ESP custom shop models, but in a production line.
These are all expensive af, but the Japanese models ( both custom & production series) are insanely well build guitars.
LTD is their import line, similar to Squier or PRS SE or Epiphone.
The LTD line, has different series.
1000, 600 or ''Deluxe'' are usually made in Korea or Indonesia and are pro-level instruments with brand name pickups, hardware, some even have ss-frets. They're usually very good instruments, but have become expensive af over the last 2-3 years.
400, 200 Series are usually made in Indonesia, Vietnam or China and are more beginner models, with stock pickups, cheaper hardware.
pedals?
I'm convinced you can make any guitar sound however you want at this point...you can make a banjo heavy with the right amp and distortion pedal lol
Why the dummy switch?
JHs used to having the switch below the pickguard
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrk! 🫣🤘🏼
Heavy Riffer !!!
Please update your web site. My friend traveled from Brazil to UK to buy a friedman be-od deluxe and a cry baby from hell black cammo, the site show that you have these pedals in stock and actually you don't have...
Yep if you want something order it too store or to be delivered to store hardly ever have anything in stock I found out this when wanting a squire cv pj jag bass in black which website said was in stock and wasn't but still the customer service was good
Lol you'd think if you flying to another country to buy something, you would call ahead to make sure it's in stock.
Ive got one of these, and logo on the headstock is actually plastic and there no master volume only volumes for each pickups and one tone control... hmmm...
I like how it looks on video(and it’s probably amazing to play), but to me it’s already in a category where it doesn’t looks or feels like it’s made out of wood, which is a dealbreaker to me
Can't stand Metallica but I'll watch any Dagan video.
james HATES that guitar IT WILL NOT STAY IN YUNE ASK HIM., cause he is on video cursing it. saying exactly those words.
LOL, so if one particular guitar does not stay in tune, does it mean all of the models don't stay in tune?
@@GokPlusPlus true bro, true, touché salesman
Incorrect. I've seen the video, he's referring to the Black Gibson original Iron cross from I believe 76-79 era.
I see they have ruined the Iron Cross with that fingerboard :/ Oh well... it is at the end of it's lifecycle anyway
I thought the fingerboard has always been the same ever since this guitar came out.
@@GokPlusPlus They started using Macassar Ebony on most of their guitars at some point. It is brownish, old ebony is darker black.
Maybe it's an Indonesian made one...so different woods
@@lesspainlesss I reviewed a Korean 2022 Snakebyte last week. It has brownish Macassar Ebony as well. All of the world musical instrument factories that make LTD use it now.
Dagan’s playing is great, the review is great, but the Blackstar sounds like a flubby, muddy mess
It's a nice axe, but with the guitar revolution going on with companies making electric guitars for few hundred dollars that are as good or better than brand names. I cant see paying 1300. Dollars for this one.. I think it's time to stick it to the main brand's and bring them price down to standard.. besides this generation could care less about playing music. I an a e.s.p fan but if your going to put l.t.d on it keep it in the 600 to 800 dollar range..
Hopefully manufacturers will see less and less people are getting interested in the guitar and realise it's finally time to drop the prices to get more appealable. They do need to work more effectively on the marketing side of things for that, though.
As the owner of half a dozen guitars including this one I'm calling bullshit on anyone making something equivalent for a few hundred
That guitar tone 🤢
poser
Can you imagine Kirk playing one or slash ..
