## Overview

The ESP Kirk Hammett Signature KH-2 Vintage is a meticulously crafted replica of Kirk Hammett’s touring guitar, featuring a neck-thru alder and maple body, active EMG 81 and 60 pickups, and a Floyd Rose Original bridge with locking nut. Designed for hard rock and metal pros, it offers 24 extra jumbo frets on a rosewood fingerboard and comes with a hardshell case, delivering authentic performance and legendary tone straight from Metallica’s arsenal.

## Description

This is a replica of the first guitar that Kirk Hammett ordered from the ESP custom shop back in 1987. It became the guitar that Kirk would take on the road with Metallica and still remains in his touring arsenal to this day. This guitar features an all-black finish with Kirk's signature Skull & Crossbone position inlays. Perfect for hard rock and heavy metal!

Review: Great guitar - A great guitar. Other reviewers are right about the color of the photo—way off, and not sure why they can’t get a true to life color photo. In full sunlight it really lives up to the Lemon Drop name, and in less direct light it has a beautiful golden tone. Plays great and a couple minor issues on arrival are not worth taking any stars away. The jack was recessed behind the jack plate, which had to be removed to unscrew the nut that is meant to hold it in place. Also two strings (E, A) unraveled within days, so I replaced them with new strings, and no problems since. Keeps in tune fairly well, and sounds great in humbucker and coil split modes. A great guitar at this price point.
Review: Great, beautiful guitar playability is off the hook - Plays like butter. Beautiful guitar mahogany body neck and neck, maple top is stunning. Neck are great the frets are medium so perfect for me since I have small hands. Mine was made in China, but was inspected in the USA. So, electronics are in great shape. They put Daddario strings on it, set up the neck so no fret buzz no need to set it up just pick up and play. Don't get caught up in all the insane guitar marketing saying you need all this expensive stuff. You dont. For the most part you're just paying for labour cost. Only thing I don't like is the tuners. I suggest to do what I I'm doing: buy some locking tuners Sprezel. No need be screwed over by Gibson outta your hard earned money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guitar
*by H***G on January 18, 2018*

A great guitar. Other reviewers are right about the color of the photo—way off, and not sure why they can’t get a true to life color photo. In full sunlight it really lives up to the Lemon Drop name, and in less direct light it has a beautiful golden tone. Plays great and a couple minor issues on arrival are not worth taking any stars away. The jack was recessed behind the jack plate, which had to be removed to unscrew the nut that is meant to hold it in place. Also two strings (E, A) unraveled within days, so I replaced them with new strings, and no problems since. Keeps in tune fairly well, and sounds great in humbucker and coil split modes. A great guitar at this price point.

Plays like butter. Beautiful guitar mahogany body neck and neck, maple top is stunning. Neck are great the frets are medium so perfect for me since I have small hands. Mine was made in China, but was inspected in the USA. So, electronics are in great shape. They put Daddario strings on it, set up the neck so no fret buzz no need to set it up just pick up and play.

### ⭐⭐ Wasted money
*by I***A on October 8, 2016*

The guitar that came in was poorly assembled. The volume knobs weren't properly tightened n came off. Some of the allen screws were loose. It came with a piece of paper a certificate of authenticity saying it was inspected. It wasn't. That's only half of the problem. The other half is that my kirk hammett guitar has a lot of buzzing frets all around the guitar especially the top 4 strings. Only the top 2 strings were tuned in also. Ud think that paying 5000 dollars for a somewhat high quality guitar it would be almost perfect but it isn't. The only thing that is working properly is the emg pickups. If I take out the pickups I'll have a 5000 dollar piece of fire wood. Amazon.com sent this abomination from Northern California. I'm not saying they sell cheap guitars I guess I just got dealt a bad hand. I have the ltd kh602 the esp kh2 bolt on n this piece of crap. My 602 is 5 times better than this n it is an ltd version. I give two stars just for the emg pickups working. I am very displeased n disappointed for wasting money on this signature guitar but like I said I most likely got dealt a bad hand. Please who ever else bought this guitar n it is better than what I posted please leave a review so I can get a replacement for this piece of s*** so I can know this version really is a piece of shit or not
