Description
ESP LTD KH-DEMONOLOGY Kirk Hammett Guitar B-Stock 0237
This unplayed B-stock KH-DEMONOLOGY captures the aggressive response and structural integrity Kirk Hammett engineered for heavy recording and live performance. The neck-through construction channels maximum sustain into your signal chain, while the extra-thin U-shaped neck profile minimizes hand fatigue during long tracking sessions. The contoured alder body delivers the balance needed for consistent positioning at your recording setup. Light cosmetic marks on the body and minor headstock details don't affect the instrument's sonic or functional performance—this is a production-ready instrument for serious studio work.
Construction & Tonal Foundation
The neck-through-body design at 25.5" scale creates a unified alder and maple assembly that maximizes string-to-body energy transfer and sustain—essential for capturing articulate, cutting tones in the mix. A three-piece maple neck with extra-thin U contour reduces hand fatigue during marathon recording and overdub sessions, while the rosewood fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets enables precise intonation and quick position shifts across the entire neck for tracking multiple parts.
Electronics & Recording Performance
The EMG 60 neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup configuration with active electronics delivers high-output clarity and compressed sustain that sits forward in dense mixes without losing definition. A Floyd Rose tremolo system enables expressive techniques and subtle pitch modulation for layered arrangements, while the locking nut (42mm width) maintains tuning stability across multiple takes and extended sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this KH-DEMONOLOGY is unplayed and fully functional with only minor cosmetic marks on the body and headstock from warehouse handling and display. These marks have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity, and the guitar ships with its factory Tombstone hardcase and full manufacturer warranty.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes—this is a signature Kirk Hammett model purpose-built for metal and hard rock. The EMG 81 bridge pickup and active electronics deliver the high-output, aggressive clarity needed for heavy riffing, and the Floyd Rose tremolo handles aggressive whammy work.
What neck profile does it have and will it fit my hand size?
The KH-DEMONOLOGY features an extra-thin U-shaped neck with a 25.5" scale and 350mm fingerboard radius, designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended play and support quick position shifts. This profile suits intermediate to advanced players; if you prefer wider or thicker necks, the Jackson Kelly Pro or Schecter C-1 SLS may be worth comparing.
What pickups and hardware are included?
It features an EMG 60 neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup with active electronics, a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge with a 42mm locking nut for tuning stability, and black hardware throughout. The guitar ships with a Tombstone hardcase.
How does this compare to other metal guitars in this price range?
The KH-DEMONOLOGY's neck-through construction and EMG active configuration are comparable to the Jackson Kelly Pro and Schecter C-1 SLS, but the signature Kirk Hammett design, extra-jumbo frets, and included hardcase make it a strong value—especially at B-stock pricing.
