Is it real? Kirk Hammett Signature KH-2 Vintage
I've been looking on this guitar for a while now and i've decided to buy it! I just want to be absolutely sure whether it is real or not. Thanks!
It's legit but I picked up on a few things that make me think it is/was one made for the japanese market. The case handle is leather and the interior is grey. might be a newer case as a lot of times Jap models only come with gig bags. Japanese cases typically have a side pocket vs a center pocket. Also, the COA lists the full Kirk Hammett signature, not just the KH. Lastly a 2012 USA model would have had the silver made in japan sticker on the back of the headstock. This one does not which again makes me think it was a Japanese market model.
The guitar should have the metal ashtray battery box as 2012 was the first year the production vintages included that and also was the last year with the sig series circle badge.
Looks real to me and I own one.
Even has the COA for it.
