Description

As the lead guitarist for Metallica, Kirk Hammett has inspired generations of musicians over the past 40+ years, and the ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Signature KH-V electric guitar continues his legacy as the latest addition to the Kirk Hammett Signature Series. The KH-V offers neck-thru-body construction, with an extra thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck and korina body at 25.5” scale. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard features pearloid wave inlays and 24 extra-jumbo frets. The sound of the KH-V is powered by a set of Hammett’s signature EMG Bone Breaker pickups, with the BB-B ceramic bridge and the BB-N Alnico 5 neck pickups for crisp, crushing leads or smooth, rounded rhythm tones at the flip of a switch. Controls of the KH-V include volume, tone and a three-way pickup selector toggle. Other pro features include a TonePros bridge with string-thru-body and LTD locking tuners.

An ESP deluxe hardshell case is included with the LTD Kirk Hammett Signature KH-V electric guitar.

    So is grew up on playing thrash metal and used a Jackson rr5 for about 20 years. I really like the jb Duncan's in that Jackson. This kH has been pretty opinionated. I think it does really good at Metal but also very good at just rock 'n' roll. I really love the ceramic neck pick up. I think it sounds great. I think they roll off the volume very well on both pick ups. I think the neck is very comfortable. You might not like the lacquer on the back of the neck, but I don't mind it. It's a little heavier than a lot of the standard Jackson's or other Randy V shapes, but I still like it. It feels well built. I think the overall larger v shape sits a bit better than the Jacksons do while you are sitting down playing. I feel like they are liquidating these guitars at a super low price point and you should pick one up right around the 700 to 1000. It's perfect. I'd go for a used model because I have a feeling when you really break this guitar in over years it's gonna be even better. Cheers.

  • Amazing guitar and wide variety

    To write riffs,perform at events, warm up, practice the active picks ups work very well with overdrive and distortion and even without not to light or heavy locking tuners provide better tuning stability and included with a hard case perfect for protecting the guitar over All amazing guitar and I would buy it a again and I highly recommend

    I love this guitar! This is my second KH model, my first being the kh white zombie that I a few years ago, I love that guitar so much but it's older and has the 81/81 pickup combo. The bone breakers are amazing! Cleans are so crisp and the dirty stuff is aggressive!
