      I've been playing guitar for 25 years. As a lefty I have a really hard time finding guitars that I love. I bought a KH-202  and instantly fell in love with it. For me it is the perfect guitar. It's my number 1 guitar and I'll never part with it...ever. The neck is the best I've ever played. It is a very nicely crafted guitar. Everything about it is top notch. There are a few guitars to choose from at this price point and I'm soo happy I went with LTD. I've been an LTD player for several years and this guitar is just perfect. I play thrash and hardcore with drop c tuning. The floyd rose special has been absolutely perfect for me. Always returns to pitch perfectly. I've had the guitar for about 3 years and it hasn't aged a bit. I eventually did some mods to it, but playing this guitar for a couple years right out of the box has been perfect. I installed EMG 81-85 swapped all the parts on the floyd but kept the floyd rose special base plate. Installed floyd rose fat brass trem block, along with Noiseless springs, and brass claw. The guitar absolutely sings, and for me, it's is the best sounding and playing guitar I've ever owned hands down, and I would absolutely buy another one, just to have. It is absolutely beautiful

        My wife brought me this as an early Christmas present as she knew it was my dream guitar since I was a kid and first started listening to Metallica, kirk hammer is the god of guitar, no question (in my opinion) this guitar is seriously something else I promise you’ve never played something like it, it has a unique feel and something about it that can’t be topped. I think everyone who plays it will love it.
