Description
The ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Signature V is a high-performance metal machine built for players who want the speed aggression and stage presence of one of metals most iconic guitarists. Inspired by Kirk Hammetts long-running partnership with ESP the KH-V combines a striking V-shaped korina body with neck-through construction for massive sustain and effortless upper-fret access. Finished in eye-catching Metallic Gold with matching gold hardware it captures the larger-than-life style that suits Metallicas legendary live shows. From crushing rhythm tones to fluid lead work this guitar is designed for demanding performances. A three-piece maple neck with ESPs Extra Thin U profile gives the KH-V its fast slick playing feel while the Macassar ebony fingerboard keeps every note tight and articulate. Loaded with Hammetts signature EMG Bone Breaker pickups it delivers aggressive output with plenty of clarity and harmonic detail. The ceramic bridge pickup handles sharp crushing lead tones while the alnico neck pickup brings warmth and smooth sustain for melodic passages and solos. A TonePros locking bridge with string-through-body construction improves sustain and stability while LTD locking tuners keep everything secure during long rehearsals studio sessions and heavy live use.
