Metallica’s Kirk Hammett
Known for playing wah-fueled solos and hosting horror festivals, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett fused both passions when he and ESP released the KH-WZ signature that features an alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, a set of EMG 81 pickups, and artwork from the cult classic White Zombie. The lead guitarist flashes a smile during the fan-favorite “From Whom the Bells Toll” from Ride the Lightning.
