  • DISCLAIMER: This is not a sponsored video. The guitar was given to me by its owner for a review. This is an honest review and represents my personal opinion.
    In my opinion the ESP and LTD Truckster are one of the coolest James Hetfield signature guitars. It is an original idea that a lot of people don’t seem to understand. It is not supposed to be an aged guitar, instead it is a distressed truck that has been painted over a couple of times.

    What did you use to clean the guitar?
    specifically the body, but also curious on what you use for the neck and hardware.
    I have the 2005 grey, it spent most of the first 5 years sitting in a rack as I used it a lot. Since then it has been in a case, but has continued to yellow the grey paint as well as the binding.
    I don’t mind if I can’t restore it back to the original colour, but am hoping to tone down the yellowing a bit.
    Good review, glad you took the time to explain the finish, I have had to explain it a few times over the years.

      Its cooler in greenish. I use Music Nomad One with gentle touch of a microfiber for the body (dont buff or it will shine). For t he fingerboard - Music Nomad F-One. Frine Fret Polish by MN for the frets and Guitar Polish for the hardware.

    Such design could be lifesaving for people like me. When I got new stuff I am a bit overprotecting it, care stuff (especially stuff like guitars) to much. And if it is already "scratched" it could be easier to deal with new damage.

      If you can get over the overprotecting urge and buy one - yea

      For 80s Metallica - the EMG 81/60, For stuff after Load - the Het Set. I tried both in my ESP Trucksters: ua-cam.com/video/8oHpUolVG0c/v-deo.html

    Hi, I just sanded my LTD Truckster (grey), to check if it has 3 layers of paint. And, as I thought, it has 3 layers of paint. No stickers or so. :)

      Yeah I also saw same picks in the facebook group, LTD were doing some good stuff back in the day. Now they will never paint a guitar 3 times.

      @@GeorgeVGuitars I see. I just posted pictures now in the Guitars of James Hetfield FB group. Mine is an early model, so I guess that is why. As you said, LTD would never do that today. Agree. :)

    You managed to make that guitar sound just awful. Please tune the guitars properly before every take. My lord.
