ESP LTD KH-202 Kirk Hammett Signature plays Metallica Selections through HX Stomp
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Outstanding metal guitar that delivers crushing tone. (Use headphones for the full impact) Extra jumbo frets and blackout appointments. Kirk’s signature skull and crossbones fret markers make this a collector piece and fan favorite.

Sounds so much better than the Frankenstein KH you reviewed in my opinion dude.
Absolutely. To be fair, the Frankenstein, (it's a mummy actually - I botched it), is a Chinese-made copy of an ESP guitar. Not nearly as well made, but still pretty good for a cheap neck-through guitar.
@@121212Guitars I know it's the Mummy one too , still you got what I meant lol . Loving your channel mate glad i found it(it found me actually but all good lol)
Love ESP LTD KH
Great playing!
Thanks!
the intro with the sad but true might be one of the heaviest things ive ever heard
I saw them live at an outdoor stadium show and this song shook my kidneys. Amazing live sound.
It's almost there, just not quite....but that could be how youtube compresses the videos 'audio.
Thx - high praise for an HX Stomp patch direct to digital.
planning on getting this guitar and just taking out the pickups and replacing them with bonebreakers
Well, it is for sale. =) Who makes bonebreakers? My fav heavy pickups are still Lawrence XL500 and Duncan Invader. For the Metallica sound, good ol EMG's are tough to beat.
@@121212Guitars well bonebreakers are kirk hammetts signature emg pickups
@@zul1a_215 how different are bonebreakers compared to emg81 85s? I only ask because I havent heard any new albums by Metallica and wonder if they are just repackaged 81 85s
@@jeekyboi9564 accually they are 81 60a pickups and they are a bit rounder and warmer in the sound its basicly the good old combo off 81 60a but a bit of metallica and kirk added to it. Fun fact the bonebreakers were made to work well with the het set
@@zul1a_215 awesome thanks for the info
Who says you need a 5g ESP? Nice thick tone, especially like your solo on Sandman- like whips cracking. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words. Vids like this are a blast when you get to work-through so many classic riffs. ESP LTD has really perfected the low-cost shredder.
@@121212Guitars I couldn't agree more. LTDs may not feel as solid as the ESPs, but with the right upgrades(or not) they play and sound great for the $$$.👍
@Jon Oz I’ve had a couple, including this custom Warren DiMartini piece. Gotta admit, it was really solid and lightweight despite a chunky neck. ruclips.net/video/cOFSkcHxV-M/видео.html
Got one few days ago. Came scratched so I am going return it. 23 model year has floyd rose special, ESP LH-301 pickups. 9-42 strings. Made in Indonesia. Da*n. I even ordered EMG JH set for that KH-202.
Drag! The guitar in the vid is also Indonesia make.
is it a floating bridge? I just bought this and was wondering.
It is designed to be a floating bridge, yes. Any guitar with the "Steve Vai" rout behind the bridge is meant to maximize the the amount of upward tremolo pull. One can set it up to be non-floating if needed.
Floyd Rose bridge or Floyd Rose Special?
@@TomTomTom87 guessing floyd rose special since it’s an ltd
@@fleximay3508 Yes indeed
Obviously you’re a fan of Alcohollica ;) Awesome playing mate!
Now technical question: how did you record it? I mean they are original pickups (ESP branded?), how come passive pups were recorded so nicely… in home? :) Share the secret
Hold my mules!!!… you’ve cheated! Those are EMG’s right?
@@magicgryszun9216 Thanks for the kind words. It’s misleading because “ESP” looks a lot like “EMG”. These are stock ESP Designed LH-301 pickups. They sound good. I had a couple George Lynch ESP LTD models and I thought they really nailed those pickups too. If there’s any cheat here, it’s the Line6 HX Stomp patch that really works well with this guitar for this sound.
What wah pedal are you using
Not a pedal in the traditional sense - the Line6 HX Stomp is a effects, amplifier and cabinet simulator unit that can plug directly into the PA system, or serve as a multifx unit. In this case, it's simply guitar -> HX Stomp -> USB out, plugged directly into my Ipad. All of the sounds/FX are generated in the HX Stomp, with perhaps the exception of some light compression in Lumufusion video editing software.
What is the vibrato ?? It's floyd rose special ?
It's an officially licensed China-made Floyd Rose copy. Works fine, although compared to the old brass Schaller-made Floyds I find that the fine tuners are more difficult to turn, perhaps due to the black plating. As for the sound, there is little discernable difference if one is playing through a saturated distorted amplifier.
What bridge is on there and is it stock? Sounds like a beast
Stock EMGs
@@121212Guitars yeah I know what pickups they are, what’s the bridge?
@@dscxshockz Everything stock. www.espguitars.com/products/19124-kh-202
The Floyd Rose Special bridge does not sound significantly different than any other Floyd Rose bridge, but it works much better than the bridge on this cheap copy ruclips.net/video/y7f3LqDIIYw/видео.html
@@121212Guitars are you using emg pickups on it? Guitar comes stock with ESP designed pickups not EMG ones?
Wow...🤟
Made in ?

1:35 what song is that?

@@121212Guitars thank you very much
I don’t understand is this guitar left handed or right because in other videos people play with left hand
This one is a right-handed guitar.
They make both left and right for this model
Does the wammy make it go out of tune
Kinda, I guess. No whammy is 100% perfect, but this one is pretty good/well machined. You could do worse!
Yo are those the factory pickups?
Yes.
could someone explain the tone in the intro (sad but true) to me. (eq scoop, amp and cab tybe plus maybe the pedals)
Sure - the most important part is that the guitar is tuned-down to D G C F A D. I'm using a Marshall amp simulator patch in my Line6 HX Stomp. There are a bunch of sounds available on the HX Stomp that will get you there - search for "2204" in the HX Stomp library: line6.com/customtone/search/index.html/?sort=rating&sort_dir=desc&family=hx_stomp&search_term=2204
@@121212Guitars thank you dearly. I actually ordered a pod go but the presets should about work the same right?
@@demontimeeeee Yes - there's a patch literally called Sad But True, AND it uses the whammy effect to digitally downtune your guitar!! line6.com/customtone/tone/5851416/
I was never a big multifx guy, but I've changed my tune with Line6. Great company - they stand behind their stuff.
@@121212Guitars ive come to realisation that the pickups have greater role in the tone than i expected
@@demontimeeeee I don't have any experience with the POD multiFX - they could sound very different. I do think EMG active pickups are a big part of the Metallica sound.
I mean that’s cool in all but.... can you play wonderwall...
Lol. I just might.
@@121212Guitars XD
What about Free Bird?
@@Cthulhu_Awaken lol
@@Cthulhu_Awaken Stair Way.
Sounds great, what is rig rundown?
Thanks. This is the stock guitar straight into a Line6 HX Stomp set to one of the high-gain JCM800 sims.
wow you used that guitar a lot i see
do you recommend this guitar as a first guitar for a beginner?
Sure. A new player will need to invest some time into viewing utube tutorials about setting up a Floyd Rose tremolo properly. Start with light strings.
@@121212Guitars alright! which guitars do u recommend for beginners and can I get a little more info about the light strings?
@@kanetojuuseidabest Do you play even a little bit, or are you a complete beginner? If you do play a little, what’s the most difficult thing you can play?
@@121212Guitars i’m literally a complete beginner
Is it worth to buy?
Kinda depends on what you plan to play. If you need to play thrash, it's a good buy - but find one used!
1:35 what is this song name ?
BATTERY! ruclips.net/video/md3B3I7Nmvw/видео.html
Thank you
На такой гитаре металику играть не стоит.
Are you saying, “One should not play metal on a Kirk Hammett model guitar”? I guess the translation is off because you couldn’t possibly be saying that.
If only it wasn’t made in China.
Whats the reason bro?
aye man some guitars made overseas are amazing. like this guitar for example lol
I’m old enough to remember cartoons that goofed on “made in Japan” labels.
@@boolayaem Because made in USA is better and made in China is crap.
