General

The amazingly durable LTD KH-202 BLK is made according to specifications by Kirk Hammett and is meant for players who want to take a giant step beyond an entry-level guitar. Take one look at the black, comfortably bevelled, body and you'll instantly notice the tremolo bridge - this is a genuine Floyd Rose that not only offers an array of sounds but excellent tuning stability. Additionally, the humbuckers generate a high, full output that is perfect for rougher types of music, but also for jazz and blues.

Comfortable Playing with the LTD KH-202

The LTD KH202 BLK is fitted with a slender neck and two octaves of extra-large frets for fast riffs and solos as well as easier string bends. Thanks to the double-cutaway, you can reach the highest frets with ease. As a finishing touch, the fretboard features a series of striking skull and crossbones position markers and a type-number inlay at the 24th fret. All in all, this is a great and incredibly complete guitar that'll suit your every need, no matter what stage you're at or your playing style.

Really great guitar! I didn’t have to do any setup. It was perfectly intonated, and it’s really easy to play. Great guitar to get this Metallica solos down!

Excellente guitare typée métal . Look fin et élégant. Et surtout au point de vue sonore, elle envoie vraiment. Ne pas hésiter à faire faire un réglage par un luthier. Je ne regrette vraiment pas cet achat. Belle guitare, belle puissance, cool pour le schred.

Zeer goede gitaar die ik voordelig heb kunnen kopen. Zeer handig bij wat kleiner van gestalte, kortere arm. Zeer 😊

NAMM 2016: ESP LTD's Vulture Touches Down. Caution!

Friday 22 January 2016

When ESP LTD announced their collection for 2016, two big names appeared to be missing: Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett. By now, though, their brand new signature models have been presented to the public!
