Hammett's KH-2 Vintage body delivers stage-savaged looks and classic performance
Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's high-mass double-cutaway mahogany design, which gives the ESP KH-2 Vintage incredible sustain and incredible bite. Its aged finish resembles Kirk's favorite guitar down to the stickers and skull and crossbones inlays. The Floyd Rose tremolo lets you pull off deep divebombs that always return to pitch.
EMG humbucking pickups are a solid foundation for hard rockin'
Hard rockers and aggressive players have turned to EMG active pickups for years, for their amazing tone, exceptional dynamic response, and reliable performance. You get EMG 60 and EMG 81 humbucking pickups in the ESP KH-2 Vintage, ready to sound as clean or as mean as your style calls for.
Top-of-the-line quality from Japanese-made ESP guitars
ESP started as a manufacturer of after-market guitar parts in Japan in the late 1970s. By the mid-80s ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye toward playability and craftsmanship has made ESP Guitars one of the most visible and prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. Each ESP guitar is still made in Japan. Their commitment to quality is second to none, and their impressive roster of endorsers proves it. From George Lynch to Ron Wood to Gus G., Kirk Hammett, and Alexi Laiho, ESP makes the guitars that today's guitar heroes use.
