Kirk Hammett, who joined Metallica in 1983 with the recording of "Kill 'Em All", is one of the most famous and influential guitarists of the thrash metal movement from the Bay Area around San Francisco. Since 1987 he belongs to the illustrious circle of endorsers of ESP and the ESP LTD KH-602 Black is probably one of the most successful Signature models ever made. With a full-length maple neck, alder body wings, active EMG Bone Breaker Pickups and Floyd Rose tremolo, this is the ideal electric guitar for fat leads and fast riffs.
