Aggressive modern tone from dual EMG active humbucking pickups





The LTD GH-600 Gary Holt comes equipped with a red EMG 89R humbucker in the neck position, voiced for classic-thick tone. It's a great pickup for warmer tone that remains articulate and defined. The red EMG 81 at the bridge position gives you the classic EMG sound - detailed and aggressive, with rich sustain. Between these two pickups, you'll cover the sonic range from mellow to maniacal. If it's good enough for Gary Holt's gig in Slayer, then it's good enough for you!

ESP's iconic Eclipse body style is primed for rock





Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's timeless Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the LTD GH-600 Gary Holt guitar truly epic sustain, whereas its slightly arched top provides you with comfortable hand positioning, no matter your picking style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you open access to the LTD GH-600 Gary Holt guitar's upper frets, and you're totally ready to shred.





Floyd Rose bridge/tailpiece for reliable, expressive performance





For serious shredability, the LTD GH-600 Gary Holt comes equipped with a real Floyd Rose tremolo bridge - a favorite of Sweetwater's metal players. A remake of the original Floyd Rose blade tremolo, this incredible bridge lets you grab on, rock out, and never worry about pulling your tuning out of whack. You'll get both the rock-solid reliability and the tight response you need when you rock out with a LTD GH-600 Gary Holt.
