This year’s Namm 2022 was full of surprises, and ESP Guitars didn’t disappoint, with 16 new basses debuting, Kirk Hammett’s new ESP LTD KH-V Signature V-Style Model was announced, and the Exhibition Limited Series for 2022 proving to be a standout! We can’t wait for these new guitars and basses to arrive in Oz.


Kirk Hammett’s ESP LTD KH-V Signature V-Style Model
ESP has confirmed that an LTD version of Kirk Hammett’s ESP V – suitably titled the LTD KH-V – is officially on the way, which came as a pleasant surprise during this year’s NAMM expo.
The Kirk Hammett LTD KH-V is a production version of a model the musician has been using since 2019 and slightly offset V hints at ESP’s USA V-II model, except for a pickguard and a twin humbucker setup, it has a slightly more traditional design.
