ESP LTD KH-602 Kirk Hammett Guitar Left Handed

ESP LTD KH-602 Kirk Hammett Left-Handed Guitar

The KH-602 is a left-handed signature model built for aggressive playing styles and high-output demands. Its neck-thru construction and extra-thin U-shaped neck deliver speed and sustain, while the aggressive pickup pairing ensures cutting tone across both rhythm and lead applications. This is a working musician's instrument, designed around Kirk Hammett's specifications and built to handle heavy use.

Playability & Construction

The neck-thru-body design with three-piece maple neck and extra-thin U-shaped profile maximizes access to upper frets and reduces fatigue during extended playing sessions. The 25.5" scale provides traditional Fender-style tuning stability and string tension, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets offers durability and smooth playability for fast technique work.

Tone & Electronics

The dual EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60 neck active pickups deliver high-output signal with tight, articulate response ideal for heavy riffing and lead work. Active electronics provide consistent output regardless of cable length or amp input impedance, and the Floyd Rose bridge system enables precise tuning stability and extended tremolo effects when needed.
