    This limited edition Kirk Hammett is loaded with the very best. It's truly some kind of monster.

    This limited edition ESP Kirk Hammett 20th Anniversary KH-20 guitar is based on the original guitar designed by the legendary Kirk Hammett of Metallica.

    It features neck-thru-body construction. The neck is super strong, 3-piece maple with a thin U-shape for speed and comfort, enhanced by the 24 extra jumbo frets on the ebony fretboard.

    The alder body sports a flame maple top, the striking grain shining from a gorgeous see-through finish. The great woods aren't just for looks, however. Alder provides great sustain and the maple heightens tone brightness and clarity.

    Of course, it wouldn't do to start off with great tone and then lose it with the wrong pickups. That's why ESP has installed the highly sought-after EMG 81 Active pickup set in this Kirk Hammett Anniversary signature.

    A genuine Floyd Rose tremolo system with locking nut combined with Sperzel tuners ensure you can dive bomb all night and keep your intonation intact.

    Inlaid in the ebony fretboard are mother of pearl Skull & Bones with a special KH-20 Mirror Signature at the 12th fret.

    Thousands of players have been inspired by Kirk Hammett's genre-defining abilities; ESP hopes to inspire these players to perform at their highest levels when they pick up their ESP electric guitars.

    I played one of these in a guitar shop on a trip to California. I also own an ESP M-II with EMGs in it. There is no difference other than the figured maple top and the ugly inlays. ESP already makes arguably the best mass-produced guitars on earth, but those normally cost about 1/5 as much as this one. No figured top, signed anything, or "certificate of authenticity" will make this guitar worth the cost.

    I really love this guitar, it's very easy to play Kirk Hammet solos even if you don't have great skills, I just added this one close to my EVH Frankestein, and looks very nice with my Ibanez jem's collection, what can I say I'm rich and I deserved, I wanned and I got it, if you are rich like me don't hesitate get one.

    I bought this guitar thinking it was going to be the most awesome guitar ever made and I was right. I was so impressed with this guitar, I had to buy another one so I could play it even when I am sitting on the crapper. The price was a little spendy but, for people like me it was no problem. I recommend this guitar to anyone who is rich and better than everyone else. I'll probably buy one more!
