The James Hetfield signature single cut from ESP, finished to look deliberately worn.
Watch
Why it matters
ESP built the Truckster for Metallica's James Hetfield as a worn-finish take on the Les Paul Custom shape he plays. There is no current maker listing or list price, so this entry records none, and the model appears on the secondhand market. An LTD version of the same design was also sold.
Note
Hetfield's road-worn Les Paul Custom homage.
Specifications
- Scale length: 628.6 mm (24.75 in)
- Neck shape: Thin U
Before you buy
- No current list price, so figures come from dealers and the secondhand market
- ESP and LTD versions exist with different builds
- condition and paperwork matter on a signature model
