ESP LTD 30th Anniversary KH-3 Spider

With the ESP LTD 30th Anniversary KH-3 Spider electric guitar, ESP Guitars celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Kirk Hammett singlecut model that the Metallica guitarist ordered in 1991 and used as part of the support tours for the legendary Black Album.

Woods and design

For the design of the convenient singlecut guitar from the LTD series, the ESP relies on a full-length, 3-piece maple neck, which is completed by alder body wings and a macassar ebony fingerboard. A slim extra Thin U neck profile and scalloping from the 17th fret create extremely comfortable playing characteristics for lightspeed solos and tight riffing.

Pickups and hardware

The guitar amp's EMG KH Bone Breaker pickups provide the appropriate Metallica sound, extracting the last ounce of gain from the amp and allowing every note played to cut through the mix with sharply focused midrange. For fearless lead acrobatics with the whammy bar, the LTD KH-3 electric guitar also comes with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Double Locking Tremolo. The black high-gloss finish of the ESP LTD 30th Anniversary KH-3 Spider is also decorated with the distinctive spider graphic by metal and punk artist Pushead, who created countless Metallica artworks.
