As the lead guitarist of Metallica, the most successful metal band in history, Kirk Hammett needs no introduction. With the new ESP EKH2NT KH-2 Neck Thru Body, Kirk's Signature Series takes a step up with this intensely powerful guitar that is built by hand, one at a time, by ESP's master luthiers at our Custom Shop in Japan.

The KH-2 NTB offers neck-thru-body construction at 25.5" scale, with a comfortable alder body and an extra thin U-shaped 3-piece maple neck with a great-feeling natural gloss finish on the back of the neck. The KH-2 NTB has a 305mm radius rosewood fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and Kirk's signature "skull and bones" inlays.

This guitar's sound is powered by a pair of EMG KH Bone Breaker Limited Edition pickups. Designed to bring out the best in Kirk's tone, the pickups offer crisp leads or smooth, rounded rhythm tones at a flick of its three-way selector switch. Components on the KH-2 NTB include high-quality Gotoh tuners and a Floyd Rose Original bridge, and it comes with an ESP hard shell case and a certificate of authenticity.
