ESP KH-3 Spider Kirk Hammett Signature Black

KH-3 Spider Kirk Hammett Signature Black Item Description

One of the most famous ESP guitars of all time, and an iconic guitar of Metal! This is the ESP KH-3 Kirk Hammett single cutaway signature guitar. 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 a number of years on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, the original KH-3 was returned to ESP so they could reference it for the 30th Anniversary edition. In addition to neck-thru-body construction, a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, and a fast extra-thin U-shaped neck with an ebony fingerboard which is scalloped from #17-24. Also new for the anniversary model are Kirk’s signature EMG Bonebreaker pickups.
