ESP LTD RZK-III Richard ZK Guitar – Olympic White (B-Stock)

The ESP LTD RZK-III Richard ZK signature guitar embodies the power and precision of Rammstein’s legendary co-founder and lead guitarist. Designed for aggressive metal playing and stage performance, the RZK-III features the smooth, flowing Phoenix body shape in a classy Olympic White finish, accented with black binding on the body, neck, and headstock, and a signature RZK graphic on the back.

Built with neck-thru-body construction at a 25.5” scale, the guitar combines alder body wings with a three-piece satin-finished maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. It has 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and glow-in-the-dark side markers for optimal playability. Top-tier components include a recessed TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece, brushed black pickguard, reversible “kill switch,” LTD locking tuners, and Fishman Fluence Richard Z Kruspe signature pickups with push-pull controls and a mini-toggle Kill Switch mode.

Designed for versatility, power, and precision, the RZK-III delivers rich, articulate tones for metal, rock, and progressive styles. Includes the Phoenix form-fit ESP hardshell case.

B-Stock Notice: This is a B-Stock unit that has been fully inspected and tested. Minor cosmetic imperfections may be present but do not affect playability or tone.
