collapse expand iconDescription

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.

    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!
