Spirit in Black
The signature sonic weapon of Slayer's Jeff Hanneman, the ESP LTD JH-600 CTM is one of the most lethal solidbody electric guitars you'll find. This death-dealing axe boasts a meticulously contoured alder body and rock-solid neck-thru construction — a foundation built to withstand the heaviest of heavy riffage.

You'll appreciate the classic, thrash-ready tones afforded by this electric guitar's active EMG humbuckers. The JH-600 CTM was tailor-made for repentless whammy abuse, thanks to a Kahler hybrid double-locking tremolo, and its high-quality Grover tuners will hold up to extreme levels of punishment without batting an eye. The JH-600 CTM's metal-approved aesthetics include distinctive red-star fingerboard inlays and a spotlight-stealing gloss finish.

Its acoustically balanced alder body is exquisitely carved for extreme ergonomic comfort, while neck-thru construction gives you a super-unobtrusive neck joint and unrestrained vibrational transfer. This solidbody electric guitar's extra-thin "U"-shaped neck and ruler-flat Macassar ebony fingerboard facilitate breakneck, helter-skelter playability, with 24 extra-jumbo frets for near-limitless note extension and unchecked bending capabilities. Sweetwater guitarists have found the JH-600 CTM to be the perfect weapon for savage leads, and dittohead on ruthless riffage and other metallic mayhem.
Relentless active EMG humbuckers
EMG's high-output active humbucking pickups have long been a standard piece of Jeff Hanneman's arsenal, and the ESP LTD JH-600 CTM packs an uncompromising combo of EMG-81 and EMG-85 pickups. The EMG-85 in the neck position is a muscular-sounding humbucker that is certain to drive your amp into the sweetest overdrive and distortion and is at its best when it's at high volumes. The EMG-81 in the bridge position delivers everything from a fat, thunderous growl to a metallic scream.
