ESP LTD KH-WZ Kirk Hammett White Zombie Guitar – B-Stock

The ESP LTD KH-WZ is the latest Kirk Hammett signature guitar, a faithful reproduction of the Metallica legend’s personal instrument featuring artwork from the classic 1932 Bela Lugosi horror film, White Zombie. Designed with both aggressive tone and visual impact, this guitar is a must-have for fans of Kirk Hammett and collectors of unique signature models.

Built with an alder body and 3-piece maple neck, the KH-WZ offers a 25.5" scale length for tight riffing and clarity. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard is decorated with custom bat and spider inlays, adding to the sinister aesthetic. With 24 extra-jumbo frets and a thin U-neck contour, it’s built for fast, precise playing.

Equipped with a set of EMG Bone Breaker active pickups, this guitar delivers the crushing tone Hammett relies on, blending tight low end with searing lead presence. The Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo ensures tuning stability for dive bombs and aggressive whammy use, while black hardware completes the dark and menacing look. Each guitar includes a custom White Zombie graphic Tombstone form-fit case, making it stage- and collector-ready.
