Check out this ESP LTD KH-3 Kirk Hammett Signature, a precision-built performance instrument inspired by one of heavy music’s most influential players, Kirk Hammett of Metallica.
Designed for serious players, the KH-3 blends aggressive aesthetics with professional-grade reliability. The sleek black finish is accented by the iconic skull & bones inlays, immediately setting the tone for what this instrument is built to deliver commanding stage presence with uncompromising performance.
The extra thin U-shaped maple neck offers a fast, effortless playing experience, ideal for fluid lead work and tight, articulate rhythm playing. Paired with 24 extra jumbo frets and a 25.5″ scale, this guitar responds with precision across the entire fretboard.
Tonally, the KH-3 is equipped with a proven set of EMG active pickups (81/85), delivering the clarity, output, and definition required for modern high-gain applications. From palm-muted riffing to soaring leads, this instrument remains focused, tight, and expressive.
A Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo system ensures tuning stability under even the most aggressive playing styles, making this a dependable choice for both stage and studio environments.
This is a no-compromise player’s instrument equally at home in professional touring rigs, studio sessions, or high-end personal collections. A strong example of ESP’s ability to deliver artist-driven design at a working musician’s level. The guitar is in excellent condition with light player wear (shown in photos). Ships with ESP hardshell case (in very good condition).
