ESP LTD KH-602 Kirk Hammett Guitar

ESP LTD KH-602 Kirk Hammett Guitar

The KH-602 delivers a razor-sharp, neck-thru platform built for aggressive playing and precision control. This signature model channels Kirk Hammett's lead style through a compact, ergonomic double-cutaway that rewards speed and technique. The extra-thin U-shaped maple neck and locking nut system keep tuning rock-solid during intense sessions.

Playability & Feel

Neck-thru construction and an extra-thin U-shaped maple neck provide immediate responsiveness and access to upper frets without dead zones. The 25.5" scale and macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets support fast, articulate lead work, while the 350mm (13.75") fingerboard radius and 42mm nut width balance comfort with precision grip.

Tone & Electronics

The EMG 60 humbucker in the neck position and EMG 81 in the bridge deliver high-output, articulate tones designed for heavy playing without losing definition. Three-position pickup selection and dedicated tone controls give you quick access to mid-range sweetness or searing treble, supported by the Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo bridge for stable, expressive pitch manipulation.
