The ESP LTD Jeff Hanneman JH-600 electric guitar unleashes the face-melting power that defined Jeff Hanneman's influential playing in the iconic thrash metal band Slayer. Constructed with a comfortable alder body and 25.5" scale neck-through design, the JH-600 delivers the brutal tones and smooth playability needed to evoke Jeff's ferocious riffs and solos. Its ebony fingerboard features Jeff's signature red star inlays, while EMG 81/85 active pickups provide the aggressive bite essential for metal. With the JH-600, you get components based on Jeff's personal specs, including Grover tuners for rock-solid stability and a Kahler Hybrid bridge for smooth, reliable tuning. Chug out devastating rhythms or wail on screaming leads—the JH-600 gives you the relentless high-gain muscle to conjure Slayer's signature sound.

Punishing Tones With EMG 81/85 Active Pickups

The EMG 81/85 active pickup combination is a key reason the JH-600 nails Jeff Hanneman's brutal guitar tone. The EMG 81 in the bridge punches you right in the chest with crushing output and scorching mids, while the EMG 85 at the neck balances things out with increased lows for thundering rhythm chugs. Together, they supply the tight, aggressive response needed to unleash machine-gun riffage and face-melting solos. The 81/85 set handles high gain with aplomb, capturing every pick attack and palm mute while retaining articulation and note definition. Dial in your tone with the master Volume and Tone knobs.

Built for Speed With a Thin, Fast Neck

The JH-600's neck-through design pairs a thin, contoured maple neck with a comfortable alder body for exceptional playability. It's built for speed, with a slim profile that makes fast lead runs a breeze while still providing a beefy handful for solid rhythm work. A thin layer of satin urethane finish lets your hand glide smoothly up and down the neck. The ebony fingerboard further enhances playability with a natural, slick feel. Plus, jumbo frets give you the clearance needed for aggressive playing styles. An adjustable truss rod allows custom neck relief so you can set it up just how you like.

Stay in Tune With Grover Tuners and Kahler Bridge

Just like Jeff Hanneman specified on his own guitars, the JH-600 is equipped with Grover tuners for rock-solid tuning stability even during heavy use. The Kahler 2310 Hybrid bridge also keeps things smooth and reliable. Its cam design maintains precise string tension across the fingerboard, ensuring notes ring out true up and down the neck. The fine-tuners provide micro-adjustments for dialing in perfect intonation, while the tremolo arm lets you add expressive warble effects. Together, the Grover tuners and Kahler bridge keep the JH-600 tuned up and gig-ready.

Commemorate an Icon With Slayer-Inspired Style

Visually, the JH-600 embodies Jeff Hanneman's metal legacy. The alder body sports an iconic Slayer pentagram graphic in red with Jeff's signature. His custom red star inlays adorn the ebony fingerboard and the headstock rear. A black finish accentuates the brutal vibe. Pay tribute to this highly influential guitarist every time you plug in the JH-600. Its exceptional playability and quintessential metal tone will inspire you to new heights.
