LTD KH-3 SPIDER LH KIRK HAMMETT SIGNATURE LEFTHAND

In 1991, Kirk Hammett of Metallica approached ESP with a request for a new guitar with a single cutaway design, but with the features of his KH-2 guitar. Metallica's graphic artist, Pushead, designed a special spider graphic for this new instrument. The KH-3 Spider was performed by Kirk throughout the '90s on tours supporting the legendary Black Album. After spending a few years on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the original KH-3 was returned to ESP, allowing us to reference it for this 30th anniversary edition. The LTD Kirk Hammett Signature Series 30th Anniversary KH-3 Spider is a reissue of the original KH-3 model with several upgrades. In addition to the neck-thru-body construction, a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, and an extra-thin U-shaped fast neck with an ebony fingerboard that is scalloped from #17-24. Also new for the anniversary model are Kirk's EMG Bonebreaker pickups.
