{"product_id":"esp-ltd-kh-v-kirk-hammett-black-sparkle-1713185","title":"ESP LTD KH-V Kirk Hammett Black Sparkle","description":"As the lead guitarist for Metallica, the biggest heavy metal band of all time, Kirk Hammett has inspired generations of musicians over the past 40+ years. Kirk’s solos are a crucial part of Metallica’s dominating sound, and he has relied on ESP for decades to make guitars that meet his every need. The LTD KH-V is the newest addition to the Kirk Hammett Signature Series. It’s available in three different versions: Black Sparkle with black hardware and black pickguard; Red Sparkle with gold hardware and gold pickguard; and Metallic Gold with gold hardware and cream pickguard. The KH-V offers neck-thru-body construction, with an extra-thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck and korina body at 25.5” scale. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard features pearloid wave inlays and 24 extra-jumbo frets. The sound of the KH-V is powered by a set of Kirk’s signature EMG Bone Breaker pickups, with the BB-B ceramic bridge and the BB-N alnico 5 neck pickups for crisp, crushing leads or smooth, rounded rhythm tones at the flip of a switch. Controls of the KH-V include volume, tone, and a three-way pickup selector toggle. Other pro features include a TonePros bridge with string-thru-body and LTD locking tuners. Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case.","brand":"ESP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40456228044935,"sku":"LKHVBLKSP","price":1362.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/esp-electric-guitars-solid-body-esp-ltd-kh-v-kirk-hammett-black-sparkle-lkhvblksp-30388147421319.jpg?v=1681409832","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/esp-ltd-kh-v-kirk-hammett-black-sparkle-1713185","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
