【 ESP / LTD 】30th Anniversary KH-3 Spider Kirk Hammett Signature
Metallica 結他手 Kirk Hammett 最標誌性的 KH-3 Spider 結他今年屆滿30週年，ESP 推出復刻升級版的30週年 Signature 結他！
1991年，Kirk Hammett 和 ESP 合作製作了 KH-3 Spider 結他，保留 KH-2 系列結他的功能配置，但琴身設計改為單邊切角，再放上由藝術家 Pushead 為他設計的蜘蛛骷髏頭圖案，完成了最初版本的 KH-3 Spider。在90年代 Metallica 傳奇專輯《Metallica》(The Black Album) 發行時的《Wherever We May Roam》巡迴演出中，Kirk Hammett 皆使用了這支結他進行演奏。
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 we could reference it for this 30th Anniversary edition. The LTD Kirk Hammett Signature Series 30th Anniversary KH-3 Spider is a reissue of the original KH-3 model with a few upgrades. In addition to neck-thru-body construction, it features a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, and a fast extra-thin U-shaped neck with an ebony fingerboard which is scalloped from #17-24. Also new for the anniversary model are Kirk’s signature EMG Bonebreaker pickups.
