Bottom Line:
The ESP LTD KH-602 is the perfect guitar for Metallica fans, or metal enthusiasts in general. The EMG 81/60 pickups give you great tone that is perfect for headbanging along to your favorite metal tunes, but it is also versatile enough to give you good clean tones for other styles too. The skull and crossbones inlays look nice, and the guitar as a whole looks really good. It has a thin neck allowing for some fast playing up and down the fingerboard. It has a floyd rose tremelo and stays in tune well. The KH-602 is a lot less expensive than the official KH-2, but is also better than the cheaper KH-202 model. Overall, a great guitar that might make you feel like the next Kirk Hammett!
