Carl,i will like to order thi guitar!!! How long i have wait in Europe to be delivered?
Hi Zavisa, Please contact your local distributor and they can answer any questions you have.
Here is a link to our distributor page: https://www.espguitars.com/locations?categories=intl-distributors
Is there a reason as to why, if I buy this guitar now, I’ll get it by March? And do you know where else I can purchase it?
if you have any questions you may reach out to our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com or https://www.espguitars.com/pages/support
I can't wait to get this guitar. I thought i had to go to a different manufacturer to get a basswood body guitar since esp stopped making the m100fm. Look like esp pulled through coming on with a basswood bodied guitar especially the kh 202 in basswood so i wont be going to a different manufacturer for a basswood body guitar. Esp ltd is all i own esp answered my prayer to come out with basswood body guitar i didnt expect it to be a kh202. Thats a prayer well awesome answered .
hope you enjoy it when you get it!
im bought this guitar 2020 model very nice! made in indonesia and lh301 passive pickup very cool
Glad you're enjoying it, thanks for sharing!
How thick is the neck?
if you have any questions you may reach out to our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com or https://www.espguitars.com/pages/support
This guitar has to be one of ESP's most sought after signature budget guitars. I know at least 5 people who possess this guitar and they swear by it.
thanks for sharing
What’s the weight of the guitar?
A little over 8lbs, though every instrument will weight slightly different
electronic master tone?
Yes, this will have a master tone control
So the middle switch should activate the neck and bridge pickups, right? and if either volume is set to 0 there should be no sound?
On mine, it sounds like the middle position is same as the bridge position. Anyone else have this issue with this model?
yes, this is not wired to blend the pickups but will mute the sound in the middle position if either pickup is turned all the way down
Carl N. Actually there was something wrong with the middle position wiring. SW shipped me out a replacement to swap it out. The new one is working as it should and actually has a slightly different feel on the back of the neck which I dig and slightly darker roast on the fretboard. I'll take that as a double win.
Does the chinese kh-202 have a different back plate?
Should all be the same back plate
What do you clean the roasted jatoba fingerboard with? Is lemon oil ok? I just bought this guitar! \m/
Lemon oil is for hydrating the wood, if you're trying to clean gunk off you can use rubbing alcohol but you'll want to hydrate the board afterwards as this can dry out the wood.
Could you give me a wiring diagram for this guitar model? I will thank you very much
Our customer service team can assist you with this, they can be reached at customerservice@espguitars.com
Can I just drop a set of emgs into this? Does the guitar have the quick connect option already?
You can drop nearly any pickups into any of our instruments, you would just need the required parts and know-how. These do not come with quick connects so you would need to source those for an EMG swap if you wanted to go with that style of wiring.
My KH202 I had serviced an Im assuming these people at Rising Star in Spring Hill Fl are a bunch of Posers because they had my guitar for 2 weeks an It the Intonation isnt right on a few strings an It wont stay in tune any suggestions on if upgrading the tremlo an nut/tuners with the gold one is a waist of money an still have same problem and if I dont will taking it like ro Guitar Center if Ill still have same problem
Might be best to find a competent technician in your area, though upgrading the hardware of your instrument wouldn't be a waste, not having it properly setup would be. Finding a good technician might be difficult but once you find someone able to really work on your instrument you won't have to worry about tuning instability or improperly intonated strings as long as you care for and regularly maintain your instrument.
Want to replace the floyd rose tremlo with A gold one an soany different ones on Ebay not shure the correct one to purchase Can anyone Give me information on correct measurements or A seller on ebay that has them cheap.. Saw a few for 69.99, 29.99 ,even 18.99 in China but dont know which ones or one is or will be ok to replace on Esp Ltd KH202 ..
Hi William, please contact our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com. Or you can contact Floyd Rose directly on their site: https://floydrose.com/. You are looking for a gold replacement for the FR SPecial bridge.
hi there what do i have to do to put kh signiture pickups on this and is it easy for a beginner to do, also is the tremalo a licensed trem or a real floyd rose special tremalo
regards william
Hey William, it would require rewiring the whole instrument, if you're unfamiliar with this kind of work I would leave it up to a professional to avoid any damage to your instrument.
Im buying some emgs , but i have to know if the shaft of this guitar is like a strat or a les paul, can anyone help me?
Hey David, they'll be short shaft pots, hope this helps!
anyone have any snow white ones? i have a lts esp M-10 and i really want a kirk hammett signature
Hey Lucid, the white KH-202 has been discontinued for some time now, you might have better luck through Reverb or eBay.
could you guys do it again
the locking nut on the E/A and B/E string has been warn out despite it being new. I am only able to loosen or tighten the middle bolt and I would like to loosen them all so i can replace the strings. is there anyway i could buy a replacement or something.
Hi Jimmy, Thanks for reaching out to us. Please contact our customer service department and they should be able to help you. Maybe there is a problem with your parts that they could help you solve. Here is their email: customerservice@espguitars.com. If your guitar is new and purchased from an authorized dealer then you may be covered under our manufacturer's warranty.
I just got a used KH202. and I just bought the emg bone breaker pickups but are active. will there be a problem with the battery fitting since this model is passive??
Hi luis, You can fit the battery inside the electronics compartment, just wrap it in some thin foam or similar material so the battery contacts don't touch any of the wiring. You should be ok. That's the way we used to install batteries in the old days before we switched to separate compartments.
