Would you be able to order one of these but with green glow in the dark skull cross bone inlays?

I bought in 1996 a new KH-2 in an Italian shop. There was no internet, to get a guitar like Kirk's I waited months and months, I didn't know what the kit was and it was delivered to me without a case and without a certificate for 3,200,000 lire at the time.

Obviously I realized after years that there had to be a certificate and a case.

I can buy the case, I can't buy the certificate, and ESP won't give me a duplicate, this is really awful. I will never buy ESP guitars again in my life.

I wanna just say that ESP and Ltd are the best guitars ever. I just got the Ltd Kh 30th anniversary Spider guitar.  Best Ltd I've played yet. Kirk is my favorite guitarist.  I used to own the ESP custom shop KH2  but unfortunately a few years ago I had to sell it when I went through some hardships. I bought it used for $2,400( I think new back then was around $3,000) . I was just on here to browse Kirk's ESP versions bcuz I want to maybe get the genuine ESP version again down the road, but the prices now just surprise the hell outta me. $5,000 to almost $7,000? For guitars that don't have that much to differentiate them from the Ltd versions. Especially just the standard plain Kh2. Sure they're handmade and whatnot. But nowadays the Ltd versions play and sound spectacular. I've played the Ltd Kh 602 and like I said used to own the ESP Kh2. Not a whole lot different.  Don't think different tuners, strap locks, original floyd,  different fingerboard radius,  and minor things equate to a $4,000 dollar price difference.  I understand inflation,  but dang. Pretty much have to be one of those rich collectors that locks their guitars away and never plays them to get something like the Demenology ESP or the Purple Sparkle.  And please make the Ouija models a standard production model. Not rare runs. Or his Dracula one.

Does the guitar come with the standard ESP case or a custom one?

If I wanted to order this guitar but with the previous pickups that he used (emg 60 in the neck and emg 81 in the bridge) would that be possible since I'm getting it from the custom shop anyway?

I know you offer the vintage edition with the older pickups but I'm not a big fan of the worn down look

Todd B. ESP

Hi, Normally we wouldn't offer changes to a signature model, however this request would not be a problem. Please contact your dealer or distributor if you would like to arrange this as a custom order.

Here is our dealer locator: https://www.espguitars.com/dealers

I’d want to swap the pickups also, mostly because of Kirk’s signature on the Bonebreakers. Maybe to the 80/60A combo. My unaffordable fantasy is to own a guitar with the same specs as Kirk's but without it looking like it belongs to Kirk.

Hi, are these etched pickups only offered for a limited time on this guitar?  I understand that EMG only made a small amount of these.

An E-II version of this or the ouija models would be amazing! Or, wishful thinking, a KH-MUMMY

Carl N.

Thanks for the suggestions

Meezus25

The E-II version is basically the M2 I feel like 

Paul d.

Very true, but having the availability of E-II signature guitars instead of just LTD's / ESP's would be nice. A step up over LTD if you will. I currently own an ESP KH-2 NTB from 2009 and was able to get that at a very reasonable price (new). Being able to get an E-II signature at a similar price would be amazing. But that's my opinion

Gary T.

Music Zoo ad wants me to believe that the MSRP is actually $6,558. Uh huh. 

Carl N.

Yes, because that would be MSRP for this instrument.  Hope this helps.

Allan G.

I have two questions about this guitar. First. Can this be made left handed with Kirk Hammett in the same type as the distressed version instead of the signature? If so, will it still come with a certificate of authenticity. 

Carl N.

You can request a left handed build of this model from any authorized ESP dealer, and yes, this would come with a COA

Dave L.

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to order this guitar but with the standard KH EMG Bone breaker pickups instead of the limited edition ones? As I understand it these guitars are made 1 at a time to order. It's the same pickup just without the signature laser etched on them - I prefer the look of the "standard" EMGs. Thanks.

Carl N.

Hey Dave, all of our instruments are sold as shown, though you could always change pickups out later, we do no perform this here on your behalf at the factory.

Dave L.

Hey Carl - thank you for the quick response. I guessed that would be the case but figured I'd ask anyway. I do have 1 other question on this guitar that I would be grateful if you could answer:
Am I correct in saying this model would have a serial number formatted something like Exxxx201:


E = ESP
20 - Year
1 = ESP custom shop

I am in the process of ordering one and want to make sure that its 100% legit. I've no reason to doubt it wouldn't be but it's always good to know what to look for.

Thanks again.

Nidal B.

Hi from France ! I'm wondering something... Before the E-II series was created, there was a KH2 ESP Original Series "affordable" (between 2000 and 3000 euros) Bolt-on (maybe a neck thru was also available), black, straight to the point ! Basically the perfect metal guitar for the price. But now that ESP models are only custom shop, the "real" KH2 (not LTD) are at minimum 4000€, when your are lucky and you find a dealer who will not push the price close to the 5000€...

So my question is, will there be an E-II version of the KH2 ? Like it is available for the richard z E-II signature ? I know that an E-II M-II is more or less a KH2 but it is not exactly the same: the pickups configuration, the lost of the tone and one volume controls. And you don't get the skulls on the neck that are a killer things !

 

I know that ESP means highest possible quality but an E-II KH2 will also be high quality guitar and I thing it will sell a lot if it come in the market (personnal opinion).

 

Anyway, thanks to the ESP team for making us such iconic guitars !

 

Carl N.

Hey Nidal, unfortunately we live in a world with inflation.  Back in 2012 the ESP KH bolt-on was around $2,999 but fast forward to today and this instrument is closer to $4,000+  this could explain the difference in pricing from then to now.  As for an E-II version, there is no current plan to produce these instruments in an E-II version but this would be a great idea.  Thank you for your comment and suggestion.

Gustaf A.

I don't really understand how the "local dealer" thing works. I live in Sweden and there doesn't seem to be any distributors in Sweden. The nearest distributor near me seems to be something in Denmark but I don't know im if supposed to hit them up, tell them to make a special delivery and sent it her to me in Sweden. Would like some information about the procedure please.

 

Thanks, Gustaf. 

Carl N.

Hey Gustaf, local dealers are for customers within the U.S.  You'll want to use the locator for International dealers.
