## Description

The affordable Kirk Hammett Signature

Review: Great guitar a step beyond a beginnner - Was having trouble finding this guitar in stock, but it was the one my teenage son wanted. It came packed extremely well, and made his 16th birthday memorable. It sounds great, looks great, and is better quality than his starter guitar. No info was included about the locking nut. While it is simple in what it does, having some info on it included with the guitar would have been very welcome. Seems like something the maker of the guitar should include, it would have saved me some internet searching. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Review: Easy to.modify, and upgrade to custom shop playability. - This guitar comes with a steel claw and screws,and a zinc trem block. I upgraded both to brass and added size 10 screws to fill the diameter holes in my upgraded brass claw,and got some stiffer red quiet springs and a trem blocker, to block the bridge solid for d tuna . The guitar sounds amazing and I upgraded bridge hardware to stainless and a brass block for the tremolo. I got earny ball slinky set and a bondhaus 3 mm t handle Allen wrench for working on the bridge and nut, makes torque more evenly distributed. And speeds up a string change to minutes of progress rather than dropping that short Allen wrench a few times while trying to succeed on a floyd. With the trem stabilizer installed hvy springs and e flat tune is max for this shred machine before the bridge rocks up.but it zeros out with dives or pullups instantly vs float , alot more pressure to whammy, but its smooth and howls perfect with no spring noise , very smooth and controllable lowering or pulling up a few pitches. And goes back solidly in to tune.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am from ksa. how many weeks well this item arrive in my address??**
A: I think it's better to Email the seller. But why do you want to order from so far? Much easier to find local or close by supplier in case you have to do returns.

**Q: received my kh202 the other day and noticed the Kh202 logo isnt on the fret board inlay between the 23 and 24 frets is this a different version ?**
A: The one on the picture with KH-202 logo on the fretboard, is the old version of the guitar which had a Rosewood fretboard. Since 2017, these LTDs have fretboards made of Roasted Jatoba, which will not include the logo you noticed missing.

**Q: Are the frets nickle?**
A: Not 100 Percent sûre
I think Stainless Steel ,
Or A Nickel & Stainless
Alloy . They Will last A
Lifetime . Hope this helps

**Q: I noticed these models of the kh202 are made in China, while others are made in korea or japan. Should a beginner be concerned about this?**
A: Its a great guitar i have had no issues with it it came ready to play the only concern a beginner needs to have is how to restring a floyd rose but thats what youtube is for

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by C***T on June 11, 2022*

Bought this to add to my guitar collection and must say is a much better quality guitar over some of my other guitars. Of course first off I have never had a guitar with a Floyd Rose bridge before and after getting it went to put new strings on it. Had to do some looking into the whole Floyd Rose Bridge first and then after doing a couple strings I started to get the hang of it. After replacing the strings and then playing around with getting everything correct and in tune it had held tuning pretty well and sounds really great. Though not to thrilled with the Floyd Rose locking nuts on the neck since I tend to rub against them when using 1 and 2nd fret but I just need to adjust my playing to it.
