ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Signature Series 30th Anniversary KH-3 Spider 6-String Electric Guitar (Black)

In 1991, Kirk Hammett of Metallica came to ESP with a request for a new guitar with a single cutaway design, but with the features of his KH-2 guitar. Metallica’s graphic artist Pushead designed a spider graphic specifically for this new instrument. The KH-3 Spider was played by Kirk throughout the ’90s on tours supporting the legendary Black Album. After spending several years on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the original KH-3 was returned to ESP so ESP could reference it for this 30th Anniversary edition. The ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Signature Series 30th Anniversary KH-3 Spider 6-String, Right-Handed Electric Guitar is a reissue of the original KH-3 model with a few upgrades. In addition to neck-thru-body construction, it features a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, and a fast extra-thin U-shaped neck with a 350mm macassar ebony fingerboard which is scalloped from numbers 17-24. Also new for the anniversary model are Kirk’s signature EMG Bonebreaker pickups.
