With the ESP LTD KH-DC See Thru Black Cherry Kirk Hammett Signature, ESP and Metallica's lead guitarist present a signature electric guitar, which despite the classic double-cut design turns out to be a working tool for every metalhead. Two active EMG Humbuckers with Metalworks caps result in a massive storm when connected to an amp. The tried and tested mahogany construction with a glued-o neck ensures an extremely comfortable playability. High-quality hardware in the form of a TonePros bridge and precision LTD locking tuners completes the beautiful ESP LTD Kirk Hammett KH-DC.
The ESP LTD KH-DC combines classical design elements with unimpeded playability, which is expected from a modern metal guitar. The double-cut design of the mahogany body guarantees unobstructed access to every position on the glued-on mahogany neck, whose fast "Thin U" profile is made for breathtaking high-speed and driving riffs. Another highlight is the arched fiddleback maple top with a fantastic transparent red finish.
As pickups, the guitar is equipped with active Humbuckers from EMG which have been the signature tone for Kirk Hammett's riffs and solos for a long time. The bridge position features a legendary EMG 81 which provides every riff and solo with tight bass, sharply focused mid-range and the perfect portion of bite to cut through the band sound. On the other hand, the EMG 60 delivers a more moderate and clear sound for singing leads and sweet melodies. The pickups are controlled by a 3-way toggle switch, individual volume controls and a master-tone control.
The ESP LTD Kirkhammett DC is completed by high-quality hardware which guarantees a high level of functionality for a lot of fun while playing. For example, the TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and the locking stopbar are used to achieve maximum response and sustain of the strings thanks to the fixed locking. In addition, the precise adjustment possibilities ensure a perfect string position and intonation. In addition, LTD locking tuners with classic tulip wings ensure an exact and stable tuning.
