ESP LTD KH602 Kirk Hammett Signature Electric Guitar, Purple Sparkle

ESP has an awesome line of signature axes, and now it's the Kirk Hammett ESP LTD KH-602 electric guitar's turn to show you just how shred-worthy your game can get. The Metallica axeman's signature ESP is stocked with a pair of EMG humbuckers -- an EMG KH Bone Breakers -- for a full metal-synthesis of distortion to flood your ears. A comfortable countered alder body and extra-thin U-shaped maple neck with a bound Macassar ebony fingerboard of 24 XJ frets offer biting resonance and easy playability. One master tone and two volume control knobs allow you to shape your EMG pickups the way you want, and a three-way pickup selector switch gives you three pickup settings to choose from. This neck-through-body ESP is a powerful, versatile instrument with a brilliant tone for solos!

Locking Nut and Floyd Rose 1000 Vibrato Bridge

What good is tone if your axe lacks secure intonation? The combination of a locking nut and the ESP KH-602's secure and immensely flexible Floyd Rose 1000 vibrato bridge will keep your tuning in check, leaving you focused on your playing and not on unwanted out-of-tune distractions. Dive your strings low or bend them high -- your sustain will last, and your notes will continuously remain in tune.

Countered Alder Body and Maple Neck

Alder gives your axe a nice, full-bodied sound that keeps your highs from being too bright while boosting your mids and lows effectively. The ESP LTD KH-602's maple neck provides a tight sound that also keeps your highs in… check -- no overbearing brightness here. This neck, with its bound macassar ebony fretboard of 24 XJ frets, plays like butter with an incredibly close action and thin U-shaped neck. And as you'd expect from a Kirk Hammett signature guitar, this one has black hardware and skull-and-crossbones inlays.
