DISC ESP Kirk Hammett KH-2 Bolt On Left Handed, Black

Full Description

Limited Edition EMG KH Bone Breaker Pickups

The limited-edition Bone Breaker set combines EMG's high-quality construction with Kirk Hammett's excellent taste in tone. The KH Bone Breaker humbuckers use alnico V and ceramic magnets to create the perfect tone-beast. With slight preamp adjustments and a ceramic bridge and alnico neck, the KH-2 Bolt-On Guitar can deliver everything from crisp, crushing leads to smooth, rounded rhythms.

Lightweight Alder Body

The Kirk Hammett KH-2's alder body provides an incredibly balanced tone and the perfect dynamic range to suit most musical styles. The alder body is ideal for a variety of playing styles as its excellent sustain and resonance ensures each note is heard. Its bright, sizzling highs, rounded lows, and beefy midrange allow you to achieve the perfect sound for most situations.

Bolt-On Maple Neck With Rosewood Fingerboard

This Signature Left-Handed ESP guitar features a 3-piece maple neck that provides excellent durability, and is more resistant to warping than classic 1-piece necks. Its extra-thin U-shaped profile is perfect for quick shredding, allowing players to easily reach across the entire fingerboard without losing any comfort. The maple offers beautifully bright tones, with searing highs and strong mids for a dynamic performance. The rosewood fingerboard enhances the overall tone with a warm character, opening the mids up to create articulated harmonics.

Premium Hardware

For many years Floyd Rose has been the leading manufacturer and designer of floating, locking tremolos. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years, the Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch with the removable whammy bar to create unique sounds such as dive bombs. Unlike non-locking tremolo's, the Floyd Rose bridge can make huge changes in pitch but still retain the initial tuning by addition of the locking nut at the end of the headstock. The KH-2 Bolt-On also features Gotoh tuners, which are designed to improve tuning stability whilst reducing string slippage, delivering a truly quick and easy way to tune.
