ESP LTD KH-202 LH Kirk Hammett Signature Series Left-Handed Electric Guitar

The KH-202 LH delivers a comfortable, fast playing experience built around a lightweight basswood body and extra-thin U-contoured maple neck that feels responsive in hand. This left-handed signature model channels Kirk Hammett's design priorities: aggressive aesthetics paired with practical hardware and genuine playability for both studio work and live performance. The iconic skull-and-bones inlays and black finish reinforce its metal-focused identity without compromising versatility.

Playability & Design

The 25.5" scale and extra-thin U neck contour create a fast, low-profile platform ideal for lead work and rapid position shifts. 24 extra-jumbo frets with a 13.77" fingerboard radius and 42mm locking nut provide both articulation and stable tuning retention, especially critical when using the Floyd Rose Special bridge for aggressive bending and divebombs.

Electronics & Tone

The passive electronics configuration features ESP Designed LH-301 pickups paired with straightforward Volume/Volume/Tone/3-Way Switch controls, delivering direct signal path clarity without unnecessary coloration. Stock D'Addario .009-.042 strings come pre-installed, ready for immediate play out of the box.
