ESP KH-3 Spider Kirk Hammett 30th Anniversary Guitar
This ESP KH-3 Spider reissue channels the raw aggression of Kirk Hammett's original touring instrument from Metallica's 90s era, rebuilt with the precision of ESP Japan's custom shop. The extra-thin U-shaped neck profile and scalloped fretboard deliver effortless access to upper registers, while the neck-thru-body construction provides sustain and resonance that defines high-gain metal performance. The aggressive spider graphic and skull inlays across the black finish make an unmistakable visual statement.
Playability & Build
Neck-thru-body construction with a 24.75" scale ensures maximum sustain and tonal coherence across the full frequency range. The three-piece maple neck with extra-thin U-shaped profile sits perfectly for speed work, and the scalloped fingerboard from frets 17–24 eliminates any friction during lead passages and vibrato techniques.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG BoneBreaker pickup set—Kirk's signature design—delivers the articulate, high-output aggression essential for modern metal tones, powered by active electronics with independent volume controls for each pickup. The Floyd Rose Original bridge maintains tuning stability through aggressive whammy bar work while the locking nut prevents slip during extreme bends and dives.
