Was Kirk's original set up a 60 or 60A for the neck? Back in the day, when ESP made the first KH-2?

Originally Kirk used dual 81 pickups but switched these out a number of times over the years

If I buy this guitar from sweet water will it still come with its certificate of authenticity 

Carl N.

All dealers are provided the same items when receiving guitars from us, box, tools, and COA if applicable

I found the exactly same model second hand for sale in my local guitar store. Unfortunately, it does not include a certificate of authenticity. Is there a way for me to find out whether or not the guitar is real? Would it be sufficient enough if I provide the serial number to ESP so they could verify that? Thanks!

Thanks a lot Carl. I have sent the necessary information to the email that you provided with plenty of close-up pictures! I hope that they will be able to tell if something is wrong with the instrument.

Is there an LTD version of this guitar?

Carl N.

Not currently, the previous one offered was discontinued in 2016

The other Kirk Hammett esp guitars have bone breaker pickups, Why doesn’t this guitar?

Carl N.

Since this is a KH Vintage it will feature Kirk's original specs...before Bone Breakers were created.
