The ESP LTD KH-WZ is a reproduction of Kirk's distinctive White Zombie guitar, which features artwork from the classic Bela Lugosi horror film of the same name. Built to seek and destroy, this axe brandishes Kirk's signature EMG Bone Breaker active pickups and a lightning-fast 24-fret fingerboard with extra-jumbo frets. The LTD KH-WZ White Zombie also boasts spot-on looks, with eye-catching graphics, bat and spider fingerboard inlays, and blackened hardware. Moreover, you can dive-bomb with absolute impunity, thanks to a bulletproof Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo. You also get a cool-looking custom-graphic, form-fitted case from the Tombstone Case Company. Whether you're a ride-or-die Hammett/Metallica fan or you're just looking for a high-performance guitar that's ready for action, the ESP LTD KH-WZ White Zombie is guaranteed to impress.
Right down to its eye-popping graphics, every detail of the LTD KH-WZ White Zombie is based on Kirk's original guitar. This axe's alder body is lightweight and resonant — the perfect foundation for great tone. A 3-piece maple neck and 13.78-inch-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard give the LTD KH-WZ White Zombie effortless sustain and playability. Head-turning horror-inspired graphics, bat and spider fingerboard inlays, and blackened hardware complete the picture.
Kirk Hammett's guitar tones have been in the spotlight for more than 30 years. Sweetwater is pleased to report that his sound is perfectly encapsulated in the active EMG Bone Breaker signature pickups that come stock on the ESP LTD KH-WZ White Zombie. These moderate-output humbuckers aren't limited to paint-peeling high-gain tones, either (although they pull those off nicely). Instead, they're capable of crushing grind and bell-like clarity without sacrificing gain for clean or vice-versa. Whether you're aiming for crisp leads or smooth rhythm sounds, EMG's Bone Breakers place Kirk's trademark tone right in your hands.
For superior stability, the LTD KH-WZ White Zombie comes equipped with a double-locking Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo system. With this tremolo, you can twist, bend, and dive-bomb all you want, and never worry about pulling your tuning out of whack. You can expect both rock-solid reliability and tight response when you play the LTD KH-WZ White Zombie.
