Metallica: Kirk Hammett Signed ESP LTD KH-3 Spider 30th Anniversary Guitar (Beckett/BAS LOA)

In 1991, Kirk Hammett of Metallica came to ESP with a request for a new guitar with a single cutaway design, but with the features of his KH-2 guitar. Metallica’s graphic artist Pushead designed a spider graphic specifically for this new instrument. The KH-3 Spider was played by Kirk throughout the ’90s on tours supporting the legendary Black Album. After spending a number of years on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the original KH-3 was returned to ESP so they could reference it for this 30th Anniversary edition.

Presented here for your bidding consideration of one of the beautiful 30th anniversary re-issue models, boldly signed by the legendary Metallica guitarist on the body in silver metallic marker. Accompanied by the original ESP case. Obtained in-person and in overall excellent condition.
