Practically every picture online of the KH-602'S headstock says Korea. I contacted ESP and was informed that not all KH-602s are coming out of Korea these days. ESP has a factory in Indonesia and both Korea and Indonesia produce the KH-602. The ESP rep said they're the same guitar made to the same specs and it's a genuine product.The tone is great for thrash/metal solos. Cleans also sound pleasant . The neck is so thin it's almost flat and is designed for shredding. Surprisingly the Floyd Rose works and keeps tune which is a Godsend because how fickle FR are, especially these non- original floyd rose ones. I'm not a huge fan of KH but his signature 602 series is a beast for Thrash metal / Hard rock . This guitar is a no brainer if you want pro level quality for an affordable price. If you like thrash metal this guitar is ideal because it has a super fast neck with 24 frets, great sounding active pickups, a reliable Floyd Rose, is good looking and comes with a nice case. This guitar rivals my Gibson SG standards with its 498 T 498T pick ups and outperforms them when it comes to trash metal. It makes playing cover songs a lot easier too with the extra frets and FR . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guitar *by on Reviewed in the United States October 29, 2011* I absolutly love this guitar. It's got great sound and looks. I really do not have a lot to say other then it's great. The inlays rock and the FR is great. Fast neck and just a badass guitar all around. I'm not much into signature guitars just for the fact that I feel that you gotta find your own look/sound. But being a Metallica fan since the late 80's I always wanted the Kirk Hammett signature guitar when they came out. ESP is one of my favorite guitar manufactures. I did have the opportunity to play the ESP M-II and it's great but a little plain and very basic. To me this guitar is a better choice. So with that being said once I received the guitar I started to notice flaws. Such as a few white or maybe silver flakes in the paint. Very small and only a few but they were there. The more noticeable one is near the volume knobs. Also noticed a minor paint ripple on the neck. Not really noticeable but there and can see it while playing. Other then that a perfect guitar. I did contact the dealer about the things I noticed and was told I could return it and have chosen not to because the things I have noticed are not serious and do not really bother me. So if you love Metallica and this style guitar then this is for you. Get it!!.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My initial opinion......The Guitar is Awesome! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 31, 2020* The ESP LTD KH-602 Signature Series guitar is a very nicely built mid range quitar. It will suite my less than ameture needs and be a welcomed additonal to my two other guitars (lower end starter Yamaha and a Lower End Mexican Fender Stratocaster). The KH-602 was a great deal on Amazon too. At current, most other vendors had its price at $1,199.00. The Amazon Price of $899.00 for the same thing was what I needed to get the purchase done. It comes complete with a case (something I was not sure about since the details were a bit confusing and the price difference with other vendors). It a great looking guitar, it sounds great, and I look forward to becoming a better player on this guitar along with my other two. ## Frequently Bought Together - ESP LTD KH-602 Signature Series Kirk Hammett Electric Guitar with Case, Purple Sparkle - Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 12-56 Gauge (P02626) - Ernie Ball Polypro Guitar Strap, White (P04036) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/61369976-esp-ltd-kh-602-purple-sparkle](https://www.desertcart.at/products/61369976-esp-ltd-kh-602-purple-sparkle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
