Key Features
The ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Signature V is a top spec guitar built to the Metallica man's design. It features an array of high-performance hardware to make your riffs rapid and your sonics crushing - just like Kirk himself! That starts with a pair of Hammett's personal EMG Bone Breaker active pickups, which boast incredibly tight lows, sharply defined highs and an enormous amount of gain to crank your signals to outrageous levels of crunch.
Following on from that is the exceptionally fast riffing you'll enjoy on the Signature V's neck and fretboard. Kirk's known for his explosive solos, and you'll be fretting with the same ferocity on a the 3pc maple neck in an Extra Thin U shape. It's super slim to give you extra space on the board for creative sweep picking, wild string bends, and all other manner of technical wizardry! And when set alongside the TonePros locking TOM bridge w/ string through design, you can thrash out thunderous music all night without ever slipping out of tune. Complete with a high quality form fit case for secure transport, the ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Signature V is ready for the stage. Are you?

Kirk Hammett's personal EMG pickups, the mighty Bone Breakers. Created with input from the man himself, they blend ceramic and alnico 5 magnets to voice a crisp and defined voicing. Like you'd expect from active circuitry pickups, they're super clear and boast tonnes of output to make your amp squeal, but they're also nuanced enough to suit both your rhythm and lead tones.
Built for riffing speed. The Kirk Hammett Signature V features an Extra Thin U profile neck to let you fire up and down the fretboard at a lightning pace. It's finished in a smooth satin to let you glide around the scales and is reinforced with three layers of maple to make it extra resistant to humidity changes and warping.
It's topped with a sleek and premium ebony fretboard to provide a luxurious feel for your fingers. And with 24 extra jumbo sized fret wires, you're free to string bend to the extreme without ever choking out! And you won't have trouble reaching the top notes for high flying solos thanks to the body's scalloped design.
The Kirk Hammett Signature V was born to perform. If you're shredding away live, you need your main tool to be dependable and resilient - that this signature is both. With a TonePros locking TOM bridge and string through design you're guaranteed a super long sustain and accurate intonation across the instrument. Paired with LTD locking machine heads, you can thrash on the strings all night without slipping out of tune - perfect for those high energy shows and jam sessions.
Not only is it reliable, it's also supremely durable! That three piece neck design ensures you can play with passion and not worry about shrinking / bending or warping. And with its neck-through build, you can be sure every minute detail of the string vibrations will transfer over to the pickups for maximum tonal impact.
