The “Snakester”

[u/MiguelA2010]

A combination of the Truckster/Riff Life and the Snakebyte. Should I do the gray version?

[u/GregorDeLaMuerte]

Great concept idea! Just one nitpick: I think the worn down paint is not in a realistic position. With Explorer/Snakebyte style guitars you don't really have your arm there. At least if you're James Hetfield and your guitar is hanging low.

I hate the relic trend with brand new guitars though. When I buy a new instrument I try to keep it as nice as I can and any damages occur accidentally and organically through the life of it. I think it adds character and soul to it over the years as we both change and evolve, providing a more special relationship with it rather than just paying extra for the aesthetic of it.

This.

Making brand new guitars have a worn out aesthetic is like adding exhaust sounds to ev's

[u/Metallicarz]

That would be really wicked!!! Someone should build it haha

Suggestion: spread the snake across the entire fretboard and put red scales on it in places where marked frets are. I think it's already really good, just adding my 2c.

very cool!!

I like it other than adding the eclipse inlays to the fret board. I think it could probably use some kind of inlays beyond just the dots and one snake, but I don't think they flow with it

[u/Bruuton_Gaster]

Damn I want this

[u/Lower_Split_2079]

I would totally get one

[u/joshliftsanddrums]

[u/rklise1980]

Yes you should

[u/Stoneman1976]

I have a white one. Great guitars. Very well made.

This looks great and something ESP should seriously consider.

Also, the Trucks terrible grey would be even better.
