ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Ouija Limited Edition, Red Sparkle

Full Description

Crystal-clear crunch

Yep, you read that right. We know it sounds odd, but just plug the ESP Kirk Hammett Ouija into an amp and you'll hear what we mean. Equipped with a pair of EMG Bone Breaker pickups designed specifically for Kirk Hammett, this is a guitar that combines both a dominating, high-gain tone with a crisp, super-clear sound that's perfect for making your lead lines sing. The Metallica axeman's special pickups combine alnico V and ceramic magnets, and the result is a sensationally versatile, distinctive tone that no Metallica fan will be able to resist.

Lead to rhythm in a heartbeat

If you're the kind of player who quickly likes to flit between styles, then this is the guitar for you. Featuring 3-way pickup switching, you can rapidly change from smooth, perfectly balanced rhythm tones to crushing, dynamic leads in the blink of an eye. So if flexible, versatile playing is your thing, you'll be in heaven when armed with this fantastic guitar.

Fantastically fluid playability

Hand cramp? Au revoir. Slow playing action? Sayonara. Limited scale? Auf wiedersehen. You'll be saying goodbye to all of these drawbacks when you've got an ESP Kirk Hammett Ouija in your arms. Because it's been designed to give you the most stunning playing experience possible. An extra thin "U" shaped neck is extremely comfortable in your hand, eliminating strain. You'll rapidly fly up and down the scale thanks to the 3-piece maple neck's smooth, friction-less feel. And with 24 frets, you've got two entire octaves to explore in your music. This is a guitar engineered for immaculate playability.

The most terrific tremolo in town

Floyd Rose. Two words that are synonymous with pitch perfect tremolo. That's because Floyd Rose was the revolutionary behind the world's first ever locking tremolo bridge. And that's what you get on the ESP Kirk Hammett. Well, not the world's first one. That's in a museum somewhere. To be precise, you get a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge. This works by holding your strings perfectly in place which, unlike in other tremolo systems, locks your strings firmly in tune. So you can truly hammer on the whammy bar and divebomb down to the depths of the Earth's core, safe in the knowledge your tuning will stay flawless.

Stand out from the crowd

Blending in is for losers. So don't be a loser. Be a winner with the ESP LTD Kirk Hammett Ouija guitar. Adorned with a frankly stunning, totally unique patterned Ouija board finish in red sparkle, this instrument really does not look like anything else out there. When wielding this guitar, you can make a statement so loud, those beyond the grave might just be able to hear you...

Maximum protection!

Maybe you don't think that's something to get excited about. But when you've got an instrument this unique, fun to play, and downright awesome-sounding, it's vital that you know it's safe. That safety comes courtesy of an ESP hardshell case, fitted specifically to the Ouija, included at no extra cost. Tough, durable, and so strong even a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick would struggle to penetrate it, you can take your instrument out on the road with the peace of mind that it'll be well protected.
