Such beaut tones…shame we couldn’t see the guitar, I bet it’s killer.
You can see the back. 👍
A friend of mine during mandartory military training years ago was asked by the sergeant where he parked his truck. He replied he could not find it because of the camo. He had to spend an extra week in detention .
Took me a while to get it...a clear upvote.
This one takes the cake 😂
Even awesome at air guitar.
The fact that Ola started off with damage inc speaks volumes
and with the tempo of live from the 80s
@@Ignazyoh also known as "the cocaine tempo". Least in the late 80s.
He played it wrong tho
@@tonyiliev still played it better than me
I noticed that also.
ABOUT TIME, RIGHT?
Yessssaaa! Such a beautiful kick ass guitar! 😎
Should’ve played some megadeth
I think you meant ABOUT TIME, YEAHHHHHHH?
MetallicA forever!
Yessssssss, it's all worth it for that case🤤🤤🤤
Dude played air guitar very well..
I had to make sure someone got it in. 😂
Demitri Martin summed camo up nicely for me: “One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like, 'Hey, there's an asshole.' But when you're in the woods you're like, 'Is there an asshole out here?' They look like trees.”
This review really shows you how huge the snakebyte is.
Ola is nearly 2 meters tall and still it looks big
For most others the guitar would be like: "I AM THE TABLE!!!"
I have the purple baritone snakebyte, I'm only 5'6. The guitar is about as big as I am 😂
yeh im 5'10 with a white one. its a HUGE guitar, and it weighs a ton
I’m 6’1 and all of my guitars look tiny on me. I have one explorer and it’s slightly smaller than this one. I really want a full sized MX250 or snakebyte so it won’t look like I’m swallowing a guitar.
It is as big as regular explorer tho
Kirk Hammett impression is on point.
"Oh no! I can't do my meedolies!"
its cool how the het set kinda brings out the mark 2 c+ to life even better than other emg pups. sounds super close to hetfields tone, always.
Honestly it sounded near identical to me, I was blown away by the intro.
ESP/LTD have been killing it for decades. 🤘🤘🤘
But if you want the real shape, play authentic
@@Ottophil the real shape is available through many many brands, including ESP owned Edwards and Navigator
I have an LTD Snakebyte in gloss black (discontinued I think). Definitely one of the best metal guitars I've ever owned. At first, I wasn't a big fan of the wavy shape, but then I realized James designed it that way to make it more comfortable while sitting down in classical position.
Love the Among The Living riff at 2:36
Anthrax >>> Metallica
Plays a James Hetfield guitar, wears a pantera shirt. Only thing missing was some megadeth riffs. And you're right sitting down to play an explorer shape guitar is a task.
Plays Anthrax riff.
Those ANTHRAX and PANTERA riffs got me goin!
Loved hearing you play The Floods. Saving this to go back and watch later to see you play it again.
So cool! Loved that you paired it with a IIC+
what a beauty, thanks for this test. the damage inc cover is f. insane !!!!
Dude you’re simply the best! This is so much fun to see music and entertainment.
Ola, the first video I saw with you was the Seymour Duncan Black Winter video with you playing through a Randall almost a decade ago! I'm impressed year after year man! I'm glad there is more color being added to your artistry
Wowowowowow that riff at 3:28!!!
The Flood by The Haunted
I got the LTD Snakebyte and couldn’t believe it came with that nice case. High quality all the way around. I love it!!
Got mine in September here in Mexico too.
It’s one of the best guitars i own.
Hope to get Solar here too.
Best of success Ola.
Big fan!!!!
Abrazo Mexicano!!
🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻
Awesome sound and riff...
I own this same guitar and love it! sounds and plays amazing and is a lot lighter then you would think to look at it. Just a great guitar and one of my favorites in my guitar collection.
The EMG Het Set is the most chuggy, crunchy, biting, metal pickup set out there, fucking love it.
I have the Black one and it's a beast of a guitar! It's not heavy like you would think at all. If you're a MetallicA fan it's a must have it has that weapon type sound that James uses.
... DAMAGE INC!! I have been learning that song all weekend! 🤘🤘🎸🎸
Killler Setup! Love the guitar and the amp! 🤘🏻
OMG, what an amazing tone!
Insane riff intro ola..watching your picking hand was like looking at a painting..
Pure Art 👌🤘
Finally! Awesome video as always!
Holy... please do a full version of Damage Inc. with this on pointness. Im in love! 🙂
He played it tab version :) the fingering is wrong, but still kick ass
I’m always here waiting for the Bury Your Dead riff. Banger
Man, that tone for the Damage Inc riffs, mind blowing savagery...
Whoa...that camo pattern is siiiick🤘🏿!!!And with the case to match 🔥?!... very cool 🤘🏿😎.
its kuiu
I have a Snakebyte. And it's a freaking awesome guitar.
i got this guitar last year i pre ordered it so long ago! great guitar one of my mains
Great demo also you just highlighted the issue I have on my Epiphone custom shop explorer on the high fret access for leads
Finally…been waiting for this one
Could watch and listen to Ola all day, absolutely top bloke
Holy hell, that is a great tone
What a beauty. Love the case.
Dude that melted my face bro ok needs one of those in my life soon well one day anyway lol great video and amazing guitar
i have the LTD snakebyte in black and it is a great guitar i like to set the switch to middle and turn the neck pickup down a little to add a bit of thud to the sound
Like the look an sound of that one 🤘
I've got a 2020 left-handed Snakebyte and not only is it a great guitar the ESP fitted case is as good as the case for my Gibson Explorer. I do prefer the Explorer over the Snakebyte but they are both great guitars.
Looks Amazing
great guitar and amzing set up
Those pickups are amazing.
The tone is perfect today!
I'll bet it's a great guitar, but that case does indeed look absolutely sick 😎👍🤘
The sound is James own sound, that good!
I love YOUR LOVE for Pantera! 🔥🤘🏼
This love?
Man that’s my dream guitar 🥲
Sick tune
Great review Ola! I purchased this guitar after your unboxing video got me too pumped up about it. BUT.. after receiving it and playing it, i decided i didn't like the weight and probably most bothered by not being able to play it that comfortably sitting down! I ended up returning it and paying return shipping. I think it was the right choice though. I'm glad you seem to concur. CHEERS!
I've played a couple of these, and agree with Ola they are really well built. I don't mind the shape sitting, but man the price is tough to swallow on them. I think the camo goes for $1800 USD.
7:25 - absolute gold
Another aspect to most any Explorer-inspired shape guitar, there's a really significant change in position of the bridge to a symmetric guitar and I noticed you're playing it with the waist of the guitar on your left leg. Switch that over to your right leg and the plank will be out of your way, although the bridge might shift too far to the right for you then. I play Explorers almost exclusively as the shape puts the bridge in a place that works for me when I'm palm muting.
I love that disaing of guitar
Heck yeah!
My dream Guitar
Sick! I love EXPLORERS! Nice shirt! 🤘
Love the air guitar intro
what are you talking about?
@@Framesforgames I don't see a guitar in his hands do you?
yeah you gotta stand with the snakebyte!
The best air guitar demo on UA-cam
Sounds killer !
Thanks for not playing the same Metallica riffs most everyone plays, loved the Damaged inc. riff 💯
the best air guitar video ever
Awesome looking guitar. We would need more camo guitars on the market :)
Brutal cool guitar!
Is there a Ghost Horse Demo coming up? The Brendan Smalls riffs in Galactica and Dethklok is brutal and catchy as hell.Getcha Pull 🥃-CHEERS 🤘🏿😎🍻
F yaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Damage INC ftw!!! Awesome Ola!!!
You're the best Ola!!!!
I have an 85 EMG pickup that has good heavy tunes for thrash assault and is good for solos too! explorer style is much for standing!
I have the white Snakebyte and love it.
Rockin' shirt!
I haven't gotten to try a Snakebyte myself but I played an Iron Cross on the day my wife decided she was going to marry me someday. Also, a dynamic active microphone likely means it requires phantom power for a gain boost or something.
I have the Iron Cross and the vulture and both are awesome. The V is another stand up guitar. The iron cross is just plain awesome
Nice video. There's always a way to create a M90 Swedish camo on a solar that would put that LTD to shame, you know 😋
Ya man, I’ve been waiting on a esp EII tb7 for almost 2 years now!!! Ya no joke! From Sweetwater I ordered it before the prices went up, and yep…. Still waiting
BA_RU_TAL old school intro. Love it
What an intro \m/
I personally play sitting in the classical position with this. The spot where the input is sits perfectly on your leg
S.O.D. soundz good on it!!!
Nice guitar. I hope in the future we will see it in vintage cream satin color if I describe it well.
Something similar with ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM VGS (vintage gold satin). I have an LTD GH600 snow white and I am thinking
to buy a snakebyte. I like this one but probably I would go with the white version.
Man, I tried so hard to get a good Snakebyte. The white one, before this came out.
Ended up buying 3, from several UK retailers a few years ago and all were plagued with horrible horrible QC issues from cracking in the finish to holes, toolmarks and tears out of the fretboard to a neck set in at a slant.. After my fourth return I gave up! Even contacted the UK distributor who promised to select a good one, but after that they ghosted me lol.. sucks, I really wanted one. Still got all the pictures of the defects.. such a shame as Esp/Ltd are my favourite.
I ended up getting an Ltd Phoenix but it’s not the same! Maybe one day I’ll try again. I just have the worst luck with guitar buying, and as you say they are constantly out of stock everywhere!
Yeah, ESP had some serious issues with production/delivery of new models.
There are people out there, who ordered new 2022 LTD Deluxe models and still haven't gotten them.
Badass guitar and riffage!
Love snakebytes
The snakebyte headstok shape increase your speed like fiiiuuuussshhh!!!
Damn Ola! Got some mighty metallichops 🤘😆🤘
Geez about time 😉
That sounds so Rad
Yeah yeaahhh. Finally!
Love that you snuck a little Anthrax in there..😂
Would've been funnier if it was megadeth.
great tone
i want one after i bought the Het V. I play the hell out of my Vulture!
Every topic you don't like, it's about what James never needs to think about. That means it's a true Hetfield model. 😅 Amazing tone!
High end LTD's are great guitars.
That's a big chunky guitar right there !
Man, always loved Damage, Inc!
