ESP LTD KH-602 Kirk Hammett Signature Guitar, Macassar Ebony Fretboard, Black

Player's Perspective

This LTD KH-602 may be on the more affordable side for a Kirk Hammett signature ESP, but it's 100% the real deal in terms of its feel and beastly tone. You don't have to be a big Metallica fan to appreciate this guitar either!

The neck is comfortable and thin, and just begs for you to fly up and down throught. Hammett's signature EMG pickups pump out some serious tone that will hit the front end of any amp very hard, and it can handle any amount of saturation and distortion you can fathom throwing at it. A true shredder's playground, this guitar is the cream of the crop, both in its price range and overall, among axes that ooze metal and hard rock.
