In 1991, Kirk Hammett of Metallica approached ESP with a request to build a new guitar with a single cutaway that had the same features as his KH-2 guitar. Metallica's graphic designer, Pushead, designed a special spider-themed visual for this new instrument. The KH-3 Spider was played by Kirk during tours in support of the legendary Black Album in the 1990s. After spending some years in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the original KH-3 was returned to ESP. It was used as the blueprint 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 the neck-through-body construction, it features a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge and a fast extra-thin U-shaped neck with an ebony fingerboard. Also new for the anniversary model are Kirk's signature EMG Bonebreaker pickups.
