A Kirk Hammett Signature Designed as an Accessible Alternative to High-End Models

The LTD KH-602 is part of Kirk Hammett's Signature collection and captures the spirit of the high-end KH-2: a guitar designed for stage and recording, featuring fast craftsmanship, premium hardware, and aesthetics directly inspired by one of Kirk's personal instruments. This Purple Sparkle version adds a spectacular touch while retaining the "metal lead" DNA of the KH series.

Who It's For and the Styles Where the KH-602 Excels

The LTD KH-602 Purple Sparkle is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a highly efficient 6-string electric guitar for demanding styles: metal, thrash, hard rock, modern metal, hardcore punk, and all approaches focused on tight riffs and fast solos. Thanks to the Floyd Rose 1000 and active pickups, it's ideal if you enjoy aggressive bends, pronounced vibratos, harmonics, and fast playing techniques (alternate picking, legato, tapping).

Sound

The alder body provides a very versatile balance: firm lows, present mids, and clear highs, perfect for maintaining definition under heavy distortion. The pair of active EMG KH Bone Breaker pickups (neck and bridge) deliver a high output level, sharp attack, and precise response that highlights palm mutes, fast riffs, and cutting solos. With 2 volume controls, 1 tone control, and a 3-position selector switch, you can easily switch from a singing lead sound at the neck to a more biting tone at the bridge, all while maintaining excellent clarity in the mix. The Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo completes the setup with great expressiveness, while helping to maintain solid tuning stability when properly set up.
