Sound & Tone
The active EMG 81 in the bridge delivers tight, high-output bite with sharp attack for palm-muted riffing and cutting leads, while the EMG 60 in the neck stays clear and focused for solos and clean arpeggios that hold definition under heavy gain. Alder body and neck-through maple construction lend a firm midrange and long sustain, and the 25.5" scale keeps low notes taut and articulate. With a Floyd Rose Original, locking nut and 24 extra-jumbo frets, it is aimed squarely at thrash, metal and hard rock players who lean on dive bombs, vibrato and upper-register lead work.
ESP LTD KH-DEMONOLOGY Kirk Hammett Signature Guitar With Tombstone Case B-Stock
This KH-DEMONOLOGY captures the fast, responsive playability that defines Kirk Hammett's signature design—the extra-thin U-contour neck and neck-through construction deliver immediate access across all 24 frets for precise tracking and layering. The alder body paired with active EMG electronics produces the aggressive, articulate tone essential to modern metal recordings, while the Floyd Rose Original bridge enables both subtle vibrato textures and extreme pitch manipulation without tuning drift across extended sessions.
Playability & Construction
Neck-through construction with a 3-piece maple neck and extra-thin U contour ensures maximum sustain and seamless upper-fret access for complex lead work and precise performance capture. The rosewood fingerboard with 350mm radius and 24 extra-jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale delivers confident intonation and smooth note definition across the full range, keeping your recordings sonically consistent from session start to finish.
Tone & Electronics
EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60 neck pickups with active circuitry deliver high-output, high-definition tones that cut through dense mixes without loss of clarity or definition. The Vol/Vol/Tone/3-Way Switch configuration provides independent volume control for each pickup plus overall tone shaping, allowing fast mid-take adjustments and layering strategies, while the 42mm locking nut maintains rock-solid tuning stability through aggressive playing and extended takes.
