Hi,
is it possible to order KH-3 Spider Signature? or is there a chance for reproduction of this guitar ever again?
And I KH-602 sparkle purple, looks amazing in person
Hey Shawn, our custom shop has produced a few of these instruments in recent years. You should inquire with your local/preferred ESP dealer for a quote on such a build.
Glad you enjoy the 602!
Since Kirk has a red sparkle ouiji now will their be a red sparkle release without the ouiji graphics because I’m not a big fan of the ouiji graphics?
Hi Keaton, Thanks for your question. We are always considering which models we want to release next. Usually we will release something like Kirk is using, so if we were to do this most likely it would have the graphic. But nothing is set in stone and so anything is possible.
I just heard from a retailer that this model (more likely the finish) is now discontinued. Is that true?
Hi, no this color has not been discontinued. We currently produce it and it is part of our regular product line.
Is there a left handed version of this guitar??
Hi Nick, Sorry this model is not currently available in LH version.
Does the purple sparkle finish differ between the ESP and LTD line? the LTD looks off for some reason.
Hi Brandon, Yes paint colors may vary depending on the series or brand since they are not manufactured in the same location. Many times we model the LTD model after the ESP but color and other features may vary slightly.
Is this purple sparkle still in stock and available? I really wanna get it
Hi Thomas, yes we are still making it. For stock, please check with your local dealer or distributor, or if you are in the USA you can contact our sales department directly to see if they are available.
Is the back of the neck a lacker finish
Hi Kayden, the back of neck and body matches the front with paint. It is polyurethane, not laquer.
Can you make this one in left handed
Hi Max, this color is not available in LH at this time, only the black one is available as LH.
Hey Todd...anyway to get some touch up paint for this guitar.....??????
Hi Michael, Sorry we don't offer any touch up paints. The best recommendation is to just seal the crack or broken paint so it doesn't spread. The only way to really fix this kind of paint is to take it to a professional painter, and you would be paying hundreds of dollars for a patch that will probably not match the guitar. The only perfect fix is to have a pro painter repaint the whole guitar but that would get very expensive.
thanks Todd...I figured as much...and YES I did try to match up some paint and it wasn't even close...all is cool and I love the EMG's in this guitar...nice and bright
Hey Michael, OK Sounds good. Glad you like the pickups and guitar, and sorry I couldn't help you out.
Will this model in purple be available in a left handed version
Hi David, Sorry this model is not going to be available in LH at this time.
hello
, will there be a restock of the white zombie in germany ?
Hello schleh _, the best thing to do is contact your distributor. They should be able to tell you what is available in Germany. Here is a link to our distributor page: https://www.espguitars.com/locations?categories=intl-distributors
I recently purchased this guitar, but I did not receive an owners manual in my case. The only thing I received was the Alan keys
Hi stuncrazy, our owner's manual is available online and can be downloaded. we do not provide a hard copy of our owner's manual. you can find it here: https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_files/esp/site_assets/000/000/436/original.pdf
Any plans to re-release this guitar in the green finish?
Hi Gary, No plans to re-release that one. It was a special edition and limited production run.
what is the difference in the thin u and extra thin u neck shape?
Hi Rob, The neck shape is overall the same, but the extra thin us is about 1mm thinner.
How come ESP doesn't make Kirk's signature Mummy guitar? I'd buy it in a heart beat. After I buy my half stack amp, I'm going to save up for this guitar.
Hi Blake, All those graphics have to be licensed by the company who owns them. Cross your fingers and hopefully we can do one in the future.
Just got this today. Beautiful in person , plays amazing, sounds great. Really wish esp wasn't like Gibson and prs with the higher end models bcuz I've owned a real kh2 and there is no reason a real esp should be 4000 bucks more than an ltd. My dream guitar was a white Ouija but 10 grand? Never gonna happen. Lol or 12 grand for a natural ouija. Don't make them limited and wouldn't have to charge as much. You screw the real players and let the idiot collectors get them and put em on a wall, then don't play them. So gotoh tuners, original floyd, different neck radius, esp on headstock, rosewood fingerboard, and "handmade" make a 4000 difference or with some models. Cmon. O well. Esp/ltd for life
Hi Plozcfh, Thanks for your comments. We understand the price difference between many LTD and ESP models is quite high. It really comes down to the manufacturing cost more than these models being Limited Production. Our manufacturing cost to make ESP Custom Shop instruments in Japan is rather high so unfortunately we can't offer those models for less than we do. That's why we have other brands like E-II and LTD in our lineup. Anyway, glad you like your KH-602 and hope you enjoy it!
Wish it came with a satin finsih neck instead of a painted neck.
Hi Frank, I hear you. Most players prefer a satin feel on the neck. Kirk does like his back of the neck with gloss paint so that's how we make them. you could easily modify it by taping it off and lightly sanding it to have the same feel. I did that to my very first guitar and know lots of guys who do that to make their instrument feel better.
Hi Todd, I would 100% disagree with you regarding your comment that Kirk prefers painted gloss necks.
Shall I go on?
It seems for the ESP USA or Japan models the guitars come with satin necks like the way Kirk has them... but for the LTD Korea made models, the company went cheap and went with the non-popular painted gloss necks.
Hi Frank,
ESP built all those guitars you list, w/gloss necks except the KH-2 bolt on. Kirk just likes the unfinished look (so natural wood, but with natural gloss finish).
You are correct that the LTD line is different. They don't have the natural back of the neck. Generally speaking for the ESP version if it is neck thru it will have a natural unpainted back of neck with gloss finish, but for the bolt on KH-2 it does have a natural back of neck with satin finish. The bolt on version would be the only one with a satin fish.
Hey Frank, do you have any supporting evidence to go with your claim Kirk's guitars have satin necks? I ordered my KH-3 and White Zombie with Satin grip on the neck as that is my preference, but have not seen any information to suggest that is how Kirk has his.
Do you just mean an unpainted neck (due to the LTD having a purple sparkle painted neck, while the ESP version is a natural finish with high gloss?
Hi Sephiroth, Yes I think Frank was pointing out the fact that the ESP versions all have natural paint on the back of the neck while the LTD's have the color matching the body.
The proof is just look at the necks of 90% of all Kirk's guitars. No paint, just a nice wood finish with most probably a light coat of lacquer finish.
Hey Frank, Hopefully I've cleared this up a bit for you and everyone. ESP's have natural gloss paint on the back of the neck so the wood is showing. LTD's have the matching paint color on the back.
Hi Todd,
Thanks you did I still think the guitars should be with natural wood w/gloss... its a better look especially on thr headstocks. When the necks are painted to match the body its changes the look.
Hi Frank, Ok. Thanks. I understand what you mean and that's certainly something we can look into.
Please, please, please consider direct selling online to Mexico. All distributors say there are problems with the amount of guitars you're sending to Mexico and it is impossible to request a guitar by catalog
Hi Luis, thanks for your comments. They have been forwarded to our International Sales department. Unfortunately there are restrictions on selling direct outside of the USA at this time.
Sadly enough i have to say to anyone on here do not purchase this Lovely guitar from Zzounds they will not include the case with the guitar and keep the price the same.
