Description
ESP LTD KH-DEMONOLOGY Kirk Hammett Guitar B-Stock 0237
This unplayed B-stock KH-DEMONOLOGY delivers the aggressive ergonomics and response Kirk Hammett demands, with a neck-through construction that channels sustain directly into your hands. The extra-thin U-shaped neck profile sits comfortably for extended sessions, while the contoured alder body provides the kind of balance that rewards both seated and standing play. Light cosmetic marks on the body and minor headstock details don't compromise the instrument's functionality—this is a working guitar ready to perform.
Construction & Playability
The neck-through-body design at 25.5" scale ensures maximum resonance and sustain through a unified alder and maple assembly. A three-piece maple neck with extra-thin U contour reduces hand fatigue during long gigs, while the rosewood fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets supports aggressive playing and quick position shifts across the entire neck. The neck feel locks in immediately—built for speed and precision in live settings.
Electronics & Hardware
The EMG 60 neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup configuration with active electronics cuts through a live mix with high-output clarity and sustain essential for heavy riffing and defining your tone on stage. A Floyd Rose tremolo system handles aggressive whammy work reliably through extended sets, while the locking nut (42mm width) maintains tuning stability so you stay locked in during demanding performances.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this KH-DEMONOLOGY is unplayed and fully functional with only minor cosmetic marks on the body and headstock from warehouse handling and display. These marks have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity, and the guitar ships with its factory Tombstone hardcase and full manufacturer warranty.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes—this is a signature Kirk Hammett model purpose-built for metal and hard rock. The EMG 81 bridge pickup and active electronics deliver the high-output, aggressive clarity needed for heavy riffing, and the Floyd Rose tremolo handles aggressive whammy work.
What neck profile does it have and will it fit my hand size?
The KH-DEMONOLOGY features an extra-thin U-shaped neck with a 25.5" scale and 350mm fingerboard radius, designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended play and support quick position shifts. This profile suits intermediate to advanced players; if you prefer wider or thicker necks, the Jackson Kelly Pro or Schecter C-1 SLS may be worth comparing.
What pickups and hardware are included?
It features an EMG 60 neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup with active electronics, a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge with a 42mm locking nut for tuning stability, and black hardware throughout. The guitar ships with a Tombstone hardcase.
How does this compare to other metal guitars in this price range?
The KH-DEMONOLOGY's neck-through construction and EMG active configuration are comparable to the Jackson Kelly Pro and Schecter C-1 SLS, but the signature Kirk Hammett design, extra-jumbo frets, and included hardcase make it a strong value—especially at B-stock pricing.
