USED ESP Japan Custom KH-2 Kirk Hammett Neck Through Electric Guitar Gloss Black

Just in at Guitar Brando, this is a well loved, but well played neck-through ESP KH-2 solid body guitar, made in the Japan Custom Shop (K-serial number). 

As the lead guitarist of Metallica, the most successful metal band in history, Kirk Hammett needs no introduction. With the new KH-2 Neck Thru Body, Kirk’s ESP Signature Series takes a step up with this intensely powerful guitar that is built by hand, one at a time, by ESP’s master luthiers at our Custom Shop in Japan. The KH-2 NTB offers neck-thru-body construction at 25.5” scale, with a comfortable alder body and an extra thin U-shaped 3-piece maple neck with a great-feeling natural gloss finish on the back of the neck.

The KH-2 NTB has a 305mm radius rosewood fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and Kirk's signature “skull and bones” inlays. This guitar’s sound is powered by a pair of EMG 81 pickup (later changed to 81/85 and then KN Bone Breakers). Designed to bring out the best in Kirk’s tone, the pickups offer crisp leads or smooth, rounded rhythm tones at a flick of its three-way selector switch. Components on the KH-2 NTB include high-quality Gotoh tuners and a Floyd Rose Original bridge, and it comes with an ESP hard shell case.
