High output ESP designed humbuckers give the LTD KH-202 a serious amount of bite and growl. They add a guttural roar to power chords and let lead sections stand out with a forceful punch.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionESP Designed LH-301 Pickups
The ESP Designed LH-301 humbucking pickups are a set of high output, passive pickups which provide a punchy and detailed tonality. Perfect for both lead and rhythm duties, there's heaps of versatility and a lot you can do with these pickups. Fitted as a matching pair in the bridge and neck position, the LH-301 humbuckers provide an even frequency response allowing a sharp and screaming high end to a full, aggressive low.
Evoking crisp articulation, don't be afraid to try out these hardy humbuckers on clean channels. A thick, balanced response leads to a shimmering chime for an excellent contrast to its usual distortion. Displaying a black finish, and a voicing that's got plenty of bite, these pickups are going to draw the eyes and ears of everyone around.
Floyd Rose tremolo
The leading manufacturer and designer of floating, locking tremolos, a Floyd Rose bridge gives the GH-600 an extra dimension. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years the Floyd Rose locking tremolo allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch to create unique sounds such as dive bombs and vibratos. Unlike non-locking tremolo's the Floyd Rose bridge can make huge changes in pitch but still retain the solid tuning stability because of the locking nut, so get experimenting, and finish your solos with finesse!
Basswood body and shred-ready maple neck
Central to the KH-202's sleek style is its black basswood body. Instantly recognisable as Kirk's preferred shape, the wood provides a muscular mid-range that beautifully complements the high-output pickups. Its double cutaway design also makes accessing those breath-taking high notes for scorching solos an effortless task.
Paired with that easy access cutaway body design is the ultra-thin "U" shaped maple neck. Durable and most importantly, comfortable, this light and bright wood makes shredding simple thanks to its slim profile. It gives your fingers plenty of room to reach the frets and lets you focus on unleashing flurries of notes rather than being distracted by a cumbersome neck.
