2004 ESP Kiso Custom Shop KH-2 Kirk Hammett Signature
Check out my other listings as well…
This 2004 ESP KH-2 Kirk Hammett Signature was crafted at the legendary ESP Kiso Custom Shop, Japan’s premier workshop for elite custom orders and artist models. The KH-2 faithfully carries the original features of the first series introduced in 1993, which makes it highly sought-after due to limited production and the “ESP Custom Guitars” headstock logo.
Every step, from wood selection to construction, was meticulously hand-crafted by ESP’s finest luthiers. The serial number starting with “K” identifies production at Kiso’s top-tier facility, reserved for the best custom shop instruments.
