Description
ESP LTD KH-DEMONOLOGY Kirk Hammett Signature Guitar With Tombstone Case B-Stock
The KH-DEMONOLOGY sits in the hand with a razor-thin neck profile that responds immediately to your touch, paired with a lightweight contoured alder body engineered for sustained lead work across extended sets. Built on neck-through construction, this signature model maximizes sustain and resonance—essential for the high-gain contexts where metal guitarists operate. The Floyd Rose system delivers the expressive control and tuning stability required on stage and in the studio. B-Stock condition means cosmetic blemishes only—the playability and electronics are uncompromised.
Playability & Ergonomics
The extra-thin U-shaped neck profile combined with a 350mm fingerboard radius accelerates your fretting hand, opening up complex lead passages and rapid technique. 24 extra-jumbo frets provide the mass needed for aggressive bending without sacrificing intonation precision across the full 25.5" scale.
Tone & Electronics
EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60 neck pickups generate the high-output articulation and sustain that cuts through a live mix and holds its own in dense recording sessions. Active electronics with independent volume controls for each pickup let you dial between thick, saturated rhythm tones and surgical, cutting lead voices in real time, while the 3-way switch enables seamless voice swaps during performance.
