Description
ESP LTD GH-600 Gary Holt Signature Electric Guitar – Black B-Stock
The GH-600 is built for metal players who demand speed, sustain, and absolute tuning stability in the heat of performance. A thin U neck contour and set-thru mahogany construction deliver the responsiveness and upper-fret fluidity needed for extreme tremolo work and high-velocity riffing, while dual active EMG humbuckers provide the tight, articulate aggression that defines Gary Holt's signature tone. The glossy black finish with red binding presents a striking stage presence.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece mahogany neck with set-thru construction keeps you locked into upper-fret access and unwavering resonance, while the thin U contour facilitates fast, fluid movement across the fretboard. At 24.75 inches with a 350mm radius and 22 extra-jumbo frets on ebony, this fingerboard supports both technical shredding and expressive bending—your hand will feel the difference in every pass.
Tone & Electronics
Dual red-covered EMG active humbuckers—the EMG 81 at the bridge delivering tight, articulate high-end aggression and the EMG 89R at the neck providing warm, dynamic versatility—produce noise-free, high-output tone across heavy and melodic passages alike. The Floyd Rose tremolo holds tuning through extreme dive-bombs and bar manipulation, while Grover tuning machines lock in your pitch even under the most punishing live conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and are there any issues with this guitar?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and unplayed, with only minor cosmetic marks from showroom or warehouse handling. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity, making it an excellent value option while maintaining full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and extreme tremolo work?
Yes. The Floyd Rose tremolo maintains tuning stability through extreme dive-bombs and bar manipulation, while the Grover tuning machines ensure rock-solid tuning hold under intense performance demands. The set-thru mahogany construction adds sustain and resonance needed for heavy, low-tuning work.
What's the difference between the two EMG pickups, and how do they affect tone?
The EMG 81 at the bridge delivers tight, articulate high-end aggression perfect for chunky rhythms, while the EMG 89R at the neck provides warm, dynamic versatility for melodic passages and solos. Both are active, noise-free, and high-output, allowing you to switch between aggressive and nuanced tones without losing power.
Is the thin U neck contour comfortable for longer playing sessions?
The thin U contour is optimized for speed and fast fretboard movement rather than comfort, making it ideal for technical shredding and thrash-metal playing. The 24.75-inch scale length, 350mm fretboard radius, and set-thru construction provide seamless upper-fret access and enhanced resonance for advanced players.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The GH-600 excels in thrash metal, metal, and hard rock, especially for players using drop tunings and aggressive, high-velocity riffing. Its noise-free electronics and tuning stability make it less suitable for jazz, folk, or worship styles.
