ESP LTD GH-600 Gary Holt Signature Electric Guitar in Snow White

The ESP LTD GH-600 Gary Holt Signature in Snow White is a no-compromise metal machine built to keep up with one of thrash metal’s most ferocious players. Based on the classic Eclipse shape and loaded with red EMG active pickups, a Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo and a fast Thin U neck, it is purpose-built for blistering riffs, searing leads and tight, articulate rhythm work on stage or in the studio.

From the set-thru neck construction to the Macassar ebony fingerboard and high-output electronics, every detail of the GH-600 is about stability, speed and crushing tone. The striking Snow White finish with red binding and red pickup covers gives it a bold, unmistakable look that stands out under stage lights while delivering the precision and reliability demanded by Gary Holt himself.

Thrash-Focused Design

Inspired by Gary Holt’s work with Slayer and Exodus, the GH-600 is designed to handle ultra-fast alternate picking, palm-muted chugs and wide-interval lead lines without breaking a sweat. The Eclipse body style offers a familiar single-cut feel with excellent balance, while the set-thru neck construction maximises sustain and gives you unhindered access to the upper frets for screaming solos.

High-Output EMG Active Pickups

A red EMG 81 in the bridge delivers the tight, aggressive attack and razor-sharp clarity that modern metal demands, keeping your riffs defined even under extreme gain. In the neck, the red EMG 89R adds versatility with its coil-split function via the push-pull volume control, letting you switch from thick, saturated neck tones to more open, single-coil style sounds for cleans and leads.

Fast Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

The three-piece mahogany neck with a Thin U contour is built for speed and comfort, making rapid-fire runs and complex chord shapes feel effortless. Paired with a Macassar ebony fingerboard and a 350 mm radius, the GH-600 offers a smooth, flat playing surface that is ideal for low action, big bends and precise technical playing across all 22 extra-jumbo frets.

Stage-Ready Hardware and Aesthetics

With a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge and locking nut, you can divebomb, squeal and abuse the tremolo while keeping your tuning stable. Grover tuners add further reliability, making the guitar ready for demanding live sets. The Snow White finish is framed by striking red binding on the body, neck and headstock, tying in perfectly with the red EMG pickups for a cohesive, aggressive visual statement.

• EMG 81 / EMG 89R Red Active Pickups - The EMG 81 in the bridge provides tight, cutting rhythm tones and searing leads, while the EMG 89R in the neck offers powerful, smooth tones with a coil-split option for added clarity and versatility, all voiced for high-gain metal.
