LTD KH-3 SPIDER

IN 1991, KIRK HAMMETT OF METALLICA CAME TO 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 SPIDER GRAPHIC SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS NEW INSTRUMENT. 

The KH-3 Spider was played by Kirk throughout the ’90s on tours supporting the legendary Black Album. After spending a number of years on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, the original KH-3 was returned to ESP so we could 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 a few upgrades.

In addition to neck-thru-body construction, a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, and a fast extra-thin U-shaped neck with an ebony fingerboard which is scalloped from #17-24.

Also new for the anniversary model are Kirk’s signature EMG Bonebreaker pickups.
