The ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Signature V is a top spec guitar built to the Metallica man's design. It features an array of high-performance hardware to make your riffs rapid and your sonics crushing - just like Kirk himself! That starts with a pair of Hammett's personal EMG Bone Breaker active pickups, which boast incredibly tight lows, sharply defined highs and the ability to handle an enormous amount of gain, so you can crank your signal to outrageous levels of crunch. Following on from that is the exceptionally fast riffing you'll enjoy on the Signature V's neck and fretboard. Kirk's known for his explosive solos, and you'll be fretting with the same ferocity on a the 3pc maple neck in an Extra Thin U shape. It's super slim to give you extra space on the board for creative sweep picking, wild string bends, and all other manner of technical wizardry! And when set alongside the TonePros locking TOM bridge w/ string through design, you can thrash out thunderous music all night without ever slipping out of tune. Complete with a high quality form fit case for secure transport, the ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Signature V is ready for the stage. Are you?
