An "Iron Cross" made for the world of Metallica
Derived from the ESP version, the LTD Iron Cross captures the aesthetic and spirit envisioned by James Hetfield: a Les Paul-style guitar with an instantly recognizable design, built to handle heavy rhythms and ultra-tight palm-mutes. This "Snow White" version retains the DNA of the signature range: performance, reliability and a strong visual identity, both on stage and in the studio.
Who is it for, and what styles is it suited to?
This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an electric guitar geared towards heavily distorted music, with a modern touch and active electronics. Perfect for metal (thrash, heavy, modern metal), it also excels in hard rock whenever you want a tight, precise and punchy sound, with clean definition in lower tunings and fast rhythms.
The sound
The combination of mahogany (body) and maple top provides a dense, warm foundation with solid mids, while the maple adds attack and clarity. The active EMG James Hetfield set delivers a powerful, highly defined signal: tight lows, cutting highs without muddiness, and natural compression that highlights playing precision. With the 2 volume controls and 1 tone control, plus the 3-way selector switch, you can quickly move from a tight, powerful rhythm sound to more singing leads, always with excellent stability in high-gain settings.
