Get to know them!

The ESP LTD KH-202 solidbody electric guitar means business. Metallica axeman Kirk Hammett's signature guitar gives you a comfortable contoured basswood body that fits you like a glove, while a speedy maple neck and rosewood fingerboard pave the way for extremely fast fretting. The guitar's bolt-on design delivers sustain for weeks, while specially designed ESP humbuckers dish out a massive arsenal of tone and a Floyd Rose bridge serves up the vibe. For big value in terms of quality, tone, and playability, get the ESP LTD KH-202.

Hammett's KH-202 delivers classic looks and performance

Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's high-mass double-cutaway design, which gives the KH-202 incredible sustain and bite. Designed to resemble Kirk's original ESP without the road wear, its deep black finish sets off the iconic skull and crossbone inlays on the rosewood fingerboard. The dual ESP-designed extreme-gain humbuckers put out tons of confrontational tone with a 3-way pickup selector that lets you explore a vast tonal range. And a true Floyd Rose tremolo lets you pull off deep dive-bombs that always return to pitch.

ESP Signature series guitars deliver the goods

Working closely with the influential guitar players in their roster, ESP has built an impressive collection of artist signature instruments. From George Lynch to Ron Wood to Gus G. to James Hetfield; like Kirk, they are the who's who of rock and metal guitardom; and their signature axes sport the personalized features and specs that make them unique. ESP's Signature series is all about tone and playability — and because they're members of ESP's affordable LTD series, these guitars offer incredible value.

ESP guitars: built to rock hard

ESP started as a manufacturer of after-market guitar parts in Japan in the late 1970s. By the mid-'80s, ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye toward playability and craftsmanship has made ESP Guitars one of the most visible and prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. Their commitment to quality is second to none, and with an impressive roster of endorsers, it's clear that ESP makes the axes that today's guitar heroes use.

ESP LTD KH-202 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Traditional bolt-on neck construction for stability and sustain
  • Basswood body is comfortable enough to rock all night
  • Extra-thin U-shaped maple neck plays lightning fast
  • ESP-designed pickups for explosive tone
  • Floyd Rose Special bridge lets you come back from deep dives in tune

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
