ESP GUITARS LTD KH-202 Signature Series Kirk Hammett Electric Black

Was having trouble finding this guitar in stock, but it was the one my teenage son wanted. It came packed extremely well, and made his 16th birthday memorable. It sounds great, looks great, and is better quality than his starter guitar. No info was included about the locking nut. While it is simple in what it does, having some info on it included with the guitar would have been very welcome. Seems like something the maker of the guitar should include, it would have saved me some internet searching. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a Metallica fan boy, this has been my dream guitar since I was 11 kirk Hammett was the one who inspired me to pick up a guitar, so to finally get my hands on this guitar was a dream come true. It’s easily the best and easiest guitar I’ve ever played and I’ve had both cheap and expensive guitars, it plays amazing has a mean look to it and all and all is the best guitar for intermediate guitarists, I don’t think it’s a great beginner guitar for the simple fact the Floyd rose is a bit tricky if you don’t know how to use it properly, so do your research.:)))

4 stars because I had to get my frets shaved down they were just sticking out enough to feel a razor sharp edge most likely from shipping and storage in different humidity exposures.....and packaging is pretty cheap very poorly packaged for such a fragile and expensive item

Such a good sound. Been wanting one of these for decades! Delivered quickly and well packaged, one of the tremelo springs had come off in transit but not a problem to put back on.

This guitar comes with a steel claw and screws,and a zinc trem block. I upgraded both to brass and added size 10 screws to fill the diameter holes in my upgraded brass claw,and got some stiffer red quiet springs and a trem blocker, to block the bridge solid for d tuna . The guitar sounds amazing and I upgraded bridge hardware to stainless and a brass block for the tremolo. I got earny ball slinky set and a bondhaus 3 mm t handle Allen wrench for working on the bridge and nut, makes torque more evenly distributed. And speeds up a string change to minutes of progress rather than dropping that short Allen wrench a few times while trying to succeed on a floyd. With the trem stabilizer installed hvy springs and e flat tune is max for this shred machine before the bridge rocks up.but it zeros out with dives or pullups instantly vs float , alot more pressure to whammy, but its smooth and howls perfect with no spring noise , very smooth and controllable lowering or pulling up a few pitches. And goes back solidly in to tune.
