Built for speed, precision, and crushing tone, the ESP LTD KH-602 delivers the high-performance experience that Metallic icon Kirk Hammett demands on stage and in the studio. This signature model provides the same aggressive attitude and playability as Kirk’s ESP Custom, but at a more accessible price point for working musicians. The stunning Purple Sparkle finish — modeled after Hammett’s personal stage guitar — makes this instrument as visually striking as it is sonically devastating.

The KH-602 features neck-thru-body construction for superior sustain and stability, with an alder body and a three-piece maple neck carved into an extra-thin U profile for fast, fluid fretwork. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard features 24 extra-jumbo frets and Kirk’s signature skull-and-bones inlays, delivering a smooth, powerful feel under your fingers. The EMG KH Bone Breaker pickups provide all the brutal articulation, midrange growl, and searing lead tone that defined Hammett’s sound across decades of metal mastery. A Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo system ensures rock-solid tuning stability through even the most extreme dive bombs.

Whether you’re playing thrash riffs, melodic solos, or atmospheric leads, the KH-602 offers premium components, professional reliability, and the unmistakable DNA of one of metal’s most iconic guitarists. This used model includes the original ESP form-fit hardshell case and D’Addario strap locks for secure, stage-ready performance, and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music.
