LTD Kirk Hammett KH Demonology 2017
Looks likes the new Kirk Hammett LTD model for this year is a reality.
Thinking about it now, it's actually pretty good to see a new KH model from ESP.
The KH guitars have gotten a little stale over the last few years, so it's probably a good thing to finally see something new.
If they don't make any new ESP KH models that will be ok with me, but it's a nice change up for the entry level KH LTD guitars.
its not my taste - but not a bad guitar if u can learn to like the bodh the only ltd i got was a gift i like the case- and the exhibition series case and esp usa cases.
but for $500-$700 depending where you buy it from, seems like a decent guitar, im not into the LTD but if anyone has a KH ltd maybe 602? not sure the model or the msrp on that 1 its the neck thru kh-2 but ltd. version...
Not even a KH-2, its a 602. Even says so on the 24th fret. I agree, they should've at least done different inlays or something. They literally just drew lines on an existing model. Pretty disappointing year for Metallica sigs.
Well, if they change inlays or put different pickups, it would not be KH anymore, right ??
Kirk obviously like the shape and feel of the guitar, and he does not change . Most of famous guys plays Only 1 guitar, or more of same sort. Kh's are what they are , with some minor changes. but the shape and inlays are same on 99% of them . Thats ok.

I didn't say anything about changing the pickups or the shape of the guitar, but many of his sigs with a graphic on it at least have inlays that match the graphic. Especially with this design, there was an opportunity to do interesting inlays. It's a KH-602, but $250 more expensive because of the graphic. It doesnt even have Kirk's signature on the headstock. I find it interesting that even Kirk is playing the LTD version on stage. Feels like its just an advertisement for a guitar, not a "signature" model based on one of his guitars.
Totally agree with you RK.
I still t hink it's pretty cool and got some great specs including the Tombstone case which I assume would cost more than a generic ESP hard case.
And the best part is it's priced to sell.......and it will I am sure. Entry level ESP KH buyers will lap this guitar up. NTB, Alder body with EMGs in it is a great start.
IF and I mean IF they make an ESP version this year, I hope they at least change up in the lays and *maybe* the colour.
If they do, I *might* consider buying one then.
But would prefer the KH-30 of course. Starting to think nothing is in the plan for one seeing as Kirk is currently in Asia playing sold out shows.
If he was scheduled to be at NAMM this weekend then I would be expecting to see a KH-30.
Lynch is there and they made a GL-20. I wonder if they have made a GL-30 model to celebrate 30 years of Lynch with ESP.
We will soon see boys.
Yessss !

Are u the guy who has the website of Kirk's guitars - if u want I can contribute I have guitars Kirk used photos and serial numbers. From guitars I purchased from Metallica day in SF. Guitars Kirk used in music videos or some that he used live and in studio. If you would like photos and info pm me. Also have 2 prototypes of Kirk's guitars. Info on the new custom ESP PURPLE.
Not trying to start something. If you have information on the ESP PURPLE, why not post it on the Kirk's Secret Guitar thread and contribute to the forum. I am sure there are many people here that would be interested. Just a suggestion.

Why not respond to my questions and my emails?
Yeah, strange eh?? They definitely flooded the market with those red ones. :(
Im not surprised the red DC isn't being produced anymore. That was a weird signature for them to come out with considering Kirk never plays it much. I prefer the black one better over the red anyways. The green and silver burst are even better.
Let's hope they don't make an ESP version eh!
