. Description
Sound & Tone
The EMG 81 at the bridge pushes tight, high-output mids with a cutting attack that keeps fast palm-muted riffing and lead runs articulate under heavy gain, while the EMG 60 neck pickup adds a clearer, more focused voice for melodic solos and cleaner passages. Neck-through alder and maple construction at a 25.5" scale lends long sustain and a firm low end with defined note separation, and the 24 extra-jumbo frets and Floyd Rose open up the full range for divebombs and vibrato-heavy phrasing. It's aimed squarely at thrash, metal, and hard rock players who want an aggressive, compressed tone that stays tuned through heavy tremolo use.
ESP LTD KH-DEMONOLOGY Kirk Hammett Guitar B-Stock 0237
The KH-DEMONOLOGY is engineered for aggressive recording and session work through neck-through construction that channels sustain directly into your tracking chain. The extra-thin U-shaped neck profile minimizes hand fatigue during extended studio sessions, while the contoured alder body provides balance that translates across seated console work and standing performance capture. This unplayed B-stock unit arrives with minor cosmetic marks—warehouse handling only—and full playability intact.
Construction & Tone Capture
Neck-through-body design at 25.5" scale ensures maximum resonance through a unified alder and maple assembly for rich harmonic content in the recording. The three-piece maple neck with extra-thin U contour reduces hand fatigue during long tracking sessions, while the macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets supports aggressive playing and rapid position shifts for dynamic performance takes. The 350mm fingerboard radius and 42mm locking nut lock tuning stability and playability throughout extended studio sessions.
Electronics & Recording Clarity
EMG Kirk Hammett Bone Breaker Signature pickups with individual volume controls deliver high-output clarity and sustain that cuts through dense mixes with defined articulation essential for heavy riff tracking. The Floyd Rose tremolo system maintains tuning stability through extended takes and aggressive whammy effects work, while black hardware throughout ensures durability across frequent studio deployment.

Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and live performance?
Yes—the 25.5" scale length, neck-through construction, and 42mm locking nut with Floyd Rose tremolo are designed specifically for drop tunings, aggressive whammy work, and tour-grade reliability across extended sets.
How does the neck feel for fast playing?
The extra-thin U-shaped maple neck with 350mm radius and 24 extra-jumbo frets reduces hand fatigue during aggressive playing and supports rapid position shifts without sacrificing comfort during extended sessions.
What pickups are installed?
The KH-DEMONOLOGY features EMG Kirk Hammett Bone Breaker Signature pickups with individual volume controls, delivering high-output clarity and cutting sustain designed to stand out in a live mix.
How does this compare to other metal signature models?
The KH-DEMONOLOGY sits alongside models like the Schecter Synyster Gates Custom and Ibanez Prestige RG1550M, but distinguishes itself through neck-through construction, extra-thin U contour, and the Floyd Rose tremolo system paired with the locking nut for maximum tuning stability under aggressive play.
