ESP LTD KH-WZ Electric Guitar in Black with Graphic

ESP LTD Kirk Hammett White Zombie KH-WZ Signature Electric Guitar Black

The thin, fast neck on this KH-WZ glides effortlessly under your fingers while the alder body's contoured design sits naturally against your torso for extended playing sessions. Dual EMG Bone Breaker pickups deliver high-output aggression with searing sustain that cuts through any mix, offering crystalline clarity for leads and thick saturation for heavy riffs. Built as a dedicated instrument for extreme playing styles, this signature model responds with the raw tonal character and reliability that defines a true metal workhorse.

Playability & Feel

The thin U neck contour combined with a 25.5" scale and 350mm fingerboard radius creates a fast, responsive platform for aggressive technique. The 42mm nut width and 24 XJ frets provide precision access across the fingerboard, while the Floyd Rose 1000 bridge ensures stable tuning and expressive vibrato control.

Tone & Electronics

Active electronics driving a pair of EMG Bone Breaker pickups—one at neck and one at bridge—generate the high-output crunch and articulate sustain essential for thrash, doom, and extreme metal applications. The Macassar Ebony fingerboard paired with the 3-piece maple neck contributes to the instrument's bright, cutting character and long-term stability.
