Today at the shop Kirk Hammetts other Snow White KH2 showed up. Hands down the nicest ESP guitar I have ever handled. Evidently they put their absolute best senior builders on the case when they build guitars for their high Profile Artists like Metallica.

The back Story is Kirk Ordered 2 Snow White ESP KH/2 guitars from the Tokyo Custom Shop in 2010 for a upcoming tour. (I am told Metallica always orders guitars in twos to have a back up).

Kirk was shipped #2 and the first #1 for some reason stayed in the ESP Presidents office in North Hollywood for 2 years. :lol: :LOL: .

I am good friends with ESP and they offered this to me last week and of course I said yes even though the price was insane. Yes it will be for sale and it wont be for the faint of pocketbook at around $10K :lol: :LOL:

That said if you collect Metallica Guitars and Custom ESP's its pretty hard to find anything rarer that this. I have a few Ken Lawrence Explorers and a ESP MX2 Custom Explorer inbound as well so its going to be like Metallica East over here for awhile if your in the area. :rock:

Saw these on FB that is just a Jaw Dropping Guitar, looks amazing with the White VH4 as well.

Does this have the last few frets scalloped like most of his newer guitars?

Crossing fingers i hit the lotto LOL

Yes from the 17th fret and up they are scalloped. :rock:
 
Looks beautiful with that white Diezel.

Hey, is that a paint blister? ;)

Looking at your Avatar I think you will dig the next one off custom shop artist guitar I pull out of thin air from ESP. Watch for it next week :rock:
 
That wood floor in your store is absolutely awesome looking. I rather have that than the guitar :lol: :LOL:

The albino VH4 is pretty bad ass too.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm working out a deal to get the black limba KL from Norway. I bought another one from a private seller in Florida as well. The Sistine KL has not arrived yet but I am looking forward to it. I was shocked at how nice the Snow White KH2 is. Up there with the best guitars I have ever played.
 
The limba is really nice, the guy in norway is ronni and hes a good dude.

Thats him, I have just spoke with him via pm on the ESP forum. I am trying to get him a guitar/cash deal. Not set in stone yet but trying to bring that guitar back over to the USA.
 
Brad, that is freaking sick! I bet you don't wanna sell either of those now!
Wow what a set man!
 
How does the guitar PLAY? Looks are great but does it feel good too?
