General

Richard Z. Kruspe is the fire-spitting lead guitarist from German industrial metal band, Rammstein who are particularly renowned for their spectacular live shows. Kruspe has been playing ESP guitars since 1997 which is why they've honoured him with his own Signature models. The RKZ-II is a top-quality Eclipse-shaped model with a decadent Distressed & Burnt finish, is a true collector's item and comes complete with a case.

Sound and Vibrato

If you're looking for a guitar that can bring the noise, the RZK-II certainly won't let you down. It's equipped with the renowned EMG 81 active humbucker pickup set and mounted with an Original Floyd Rose tremolo floating bridge to keep the tuning stable even when you go to town with the vibrato effects.

Playing Comfort

Richard knows exactly what he wants from a guitar and that means great sound, good looks, and excellent playability. In that respect, this model sports a neck-thru construction, a modern 12-inch fretboard radius and a narrow 42 mm string nut width that makes each of the 24 extra-jumbo frets easily accessible. The Rammstein logo position markers on the rosewood fretboard are another nice touch and you may be interested to know that this guitar has a scale length of 25.5 inches which you don't often see on single-cut models.
