2018 ESP LTD KH-602 Kirk Hammett Black

Excellent condition featuring alder body, neck through body construction, two EMG Bone Breaker active pickups, two volume controls and one tone control with black dome top knurled metal knobs, three way pickup selector switch, Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, extra thin U profile three-piece maple neck, pao farro fingerboard with skull and crossbones inlays starting at the first fret, locking nut, reverse headstock with LTD logo and Kirk Hammett facsimile signature, triangular truss rod cover with model number engraving, six in a line LTD stamped sealed black metal tuning machines, black finish, two metal strap buttons, and original rectangular ESP hard shell case.

This 2018 LTD KH-602 Kirk Hammett model is in fantastic cosmetic condition and is set up excellent playing order. The neck profile is thin and fast and plays very comfortably up and down the fingerboard. The frets show little to no signs of use and have a lifetime of use left in them. This guitar has been played very little but does have a few faint pick scratches here and there (nothing that's a deal breaker). The Floyd Rose tailpiece works perfectly and helps keep this guitar in tune even with extreme tremolo use. This is a very well made instrument with close attention paid to detail and craftsmanship. The fret work and fretboard inlays are also done extremely well. The EMG Bone Breaker pickups sounds tremendous and are perfect for high gain or overdriven sounds. An overall great heavy metal guitar paying tribute to one of the most influential heavy metal guitarists of all time. 

From LTD: The LTD KH-602 is a Kirk Hammett Signature Series guitar that offers just about everything that its higher-end cousin, the ESP KH-2, does, at a price that more musicians can afford. Check it out: the KH-602 features neck-thru-body construction, with a comfortable alder body, a three-piece extra-thin U-shaped maple neck, pau ferro fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and Kirk's skull-and-bones inlays, and components that include a Floyd Rose bridge and a set of EMG Kirk Hammett Bone Breaker Signature pickups.
