ESP LTD KH-WZ Kirk Hammett White Zombie Guitar B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD KH-WZ Kirk Hammett White Zombie Guitar B-Stock
The KH-WZ sits comfortably in hand with its thin U-neck contour and 25.5" scale, designed for fast, aggressive playing without sacrificing control. Built as a faithful recreation of Kirk Hammett's personal instrument, this signature model combines the dark aesthetic of classic horror cinema with the uncompromising tone demands of professional metal playing. The bolt-on alder body paired with a 3-piece maple neck delivers balanced clarity and sustain that cuts through dense mix environments.
Playability & Design
The Macassar ebony fingerboard features custom bat and spider inlays that reinforce the White Zombie visual theme, while 24 extra-jumbo frets and a 350mm radius provide the real estate for precision bends and lead work. The 42mm locking nut and Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system maintain tuning stability through aggressive whammy use and divebombs, critical for the technical demands of modern metal.
Tone & Electronics
A matched pair of EMG KH Bone Breaker active pickups delivers Hammett's signature aggressive voice—tight, defined low-end punch combined with searing lead presence and sustain. The active electronics layout with volume, tone, and 3-way switch provides immediate tonal shaping without the noise floor associated with passive designs.
