As the lead guitarist of metallica, the most successful metal band in history, kirk hammett needs no introduction. With the new kh-2 neck thru body, kirk’s esp signature series takes a step up with this intensely powerful guitar that is built by hand, one at a time, by esp’s master luthiers at our custom shop in japan. The kh-2 ntb offers neck-thru-body construction at 25.5” scale, with a comfortable alder body and an extra thin u-shaped 3-piece maple neck with a great-feeling natural gloss finish on the back of the neck. The kh-2 ntb has a 305mm radius rosewood fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and kirk's signature “skull and bones” inlays. This guitar’s sound is powered by a pair of emg kh bone breaker limited edition pickups. Designed to bring out the best in kirk’s tone, the pickups offer crisp leads or smooth, rounded rhythm tones at a flick of its three-way selector switch. Components on the kh-2 ntb include high-quality gotoh tuners and a floyd rose original bridge.
