ESP is proud to reissue the Kirk Hammett LTD KH-3 Spider Electric Guitar. This signature solidbody is based on the iconic “Spider 13” guitar used by Hammett during Metallica’s legendary 1992 Black Album tour. Built with a solid alder body in a gloss black finish, it delivers both stage-ready looks and serious performance.

A fast 3-piece maple neck with a smooth Macassar ebony fingerboard provides excellent playability for riffs, leads, and aggressive rhythm work. The fingerboard is scalloped from frets 17–24 for added control in the upper register. A pair of EMG KH Bone Breaker active humbuckers delivers Kirk’s signature high-output tone, capable of everything from tight, crushing rhythm sounds to clear, singing leads. A Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo system adds dependable tuning stability while allowing for expressive dives, bends, and vibrato.
