ESP KH-2

The ESP KH-2 is made in Japan. The KH2 consists of a bolt-on maple neck; 25.5" scale; alder body; rosewood fingerboard; skull & bones inlays; EMG 81 active humbucking pickups; 2 volume & 1 tone control with 3-way slotted Switch; black hardware; Original Floyd Rose bridge; 24 XJ frets and has a black finish. Comes with nice hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity.

UTILIZATION

This guitar is an all around great guitar for players of any type. It has a cut away hell and it has excellent access to the upper frets. It's design is very ergonomic - it is light weight, has a thin and very comfortable neck with a 14 degree (flatter) radius. The neck, XJ frets and top note access make this a top of the line lead guitar players dream and I found it excellent for rhythm work as well.
With the two humbuckers and 3-way switch it is easy to get a lot of nice sounds, especially if you like the EMG 81 sound and tone.

SOUNDS

I have used this guitar with custom built Peters amplifiers, which are kind of a cross between a Peavey 5150 and high gain Marshall/VHT with a little Boogie thrown in, an Egnater IE4 preamp, a Peavey 5150II, Marshall TSL and a Boogie DC-5. The amps were paired with a VHT Fatbottom 4x12 that had Eminence P50E's and a Marshall 1960 B cab with stock speakers a Splawn 4x12 with Governor/ManOWar speaker combo, a Earcandy Buzzbomb 2x12 w/ Scholz speakers and a Mojotone 3x12 w/ Celestion CL-80's.

I usually go for a nice thick Jerry Cantrell AIC tone, to use with my modern rock/metal band. This guitar can get you any heavy tone you want and good cleans. Suits my style of music perfectly.

I also use this guitar in a few cover bands that I've played in which includes songs from The Rolling Stones, Kings of Leon to RHCP, Poison and System of a Down. It does well with all styles.

This guitar has very nice lead tones and nice tight rhythm tones that cut through well.


OVERALL OPINION

This is such a great guitar that I bought another one as a backup. I did end up selling them because I was introduced to stainless steel frets and switched over to playing guitars with them exclusively. If these guitars would have had stainless steel frets I would have kept them. As it was, this guitar ws my main one for many years.
I have owned many guitars and had a number of years where I would buy, try and flip, which enabled me to have many guitars around to try out.

Value for the price was a great deal, I was lucky and bought them before the prices really started to get high.! Knowing what I know now I would have made the same choice every time with this guitar. It was the one I held onto the longest before getting spoiled by ss frets.


The ESP KH-2 is ranked right up there with the best of them in overall satisfaction. This guitar has beat out Ibanez RG's, Charvel/Jackson's and Gibsons that have been in my collection.

I think the KH faitent are in Japan but I'm not sure.
Channel 24 frets alder body EMG81 Floyd Original, 2 volume knobs and 1 tone.
The handle is even flatter than the other ESP of this kind.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a pretty incredible discipline it is almost too flat in the center (compared to my MIII).
But it is the walk either to the rhythm or solo.A ask how we can make a solo LP, lol.
Access to acute is easy.
It is fun to play regardless of the registry.
There's a level just plug it sounds close by against better to avoid the sound clean without rebidouiller with effects (it is super dry forces EMG)
Mine is a limited edition by Ouija against what I find surprising is that my MIII Deluxe sounds even better (especially the feeling is better). But it's all good for 2!

SOUNDS

If we take the ESP is not playing Kyo!
Especially the la.C is to the top of the metal or even the neo (even if everyone takes for PRS ca)
Even before I got the Mesa has the ring of thunder so now ...
The distortion is great power and precision to ca nothing beats against EMG in clean ca claque mal.Maintenant not through effects I get a soften while keeping the momentum.
Apart from a clear direct output of a Marshall has no effect there's nothing wrong (if we make the nag and the clean sound is not omnipresent and still depends on the style ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I ais purchase there's more than a year and am delighted even though I prefer my other ESP.
The characteristic I like most out of the config is the decor Ouija!
There is nothing I dislike about this guitar.
I already have a MIII since QLQ months before buying it so I had to buy encourrager (the guitar of my dreams this limited edition!)
The value for money is indescent so I board made a deal (but it was an opportunity).
With the experience I buy as much as I can, lol.Franchement is expensive but this jewelry is frankly the ca!

I MODEL I OUIJA (I sell elsewhere for 2500)
Manufactures in the United States, 24 frets, 2 ESP dynamic microphones, Pink Floyd, 2 potentiomtres slecteur with 4 positions. Channel extra fast flat crescent moons and encrusted canvases.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very easy to play and Access in acute including 24me box is at the top. Treme in ergonomics, I find it a little too large and too heavy for a guitar solo.
The sound is monstrous! saturations are ultra powerful and bright are bright and pure desire, by changing the position of slecteur we get bluesy tones trs.
I put a note of 8 / 10 only because of the weight.

SOUNDS

Prdilection style of this guitar is of course the metal. It s'avre trs performance also in the rock (oasis style by changing the selector position) blues, and my great surprise in the o funk sounds clear punchy sound does not rest
My amp is a Laney VA 50 (50 watts ral) is no longer manufactured today.
The pallette of sounds that can be achieved with this type of guitar is trs varies bold, heavy, bluesy crunch, lens, ...
I love all sounds!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 5 years. Her look (custom OUIJA) is dvastateur! renvers its handle (head upside down) makes it even more rebellious! The ngatif ct is the weight and may be a potentiomtre too prs strings (in funk rhythm is tappe above). I tried lots of MODELS acqurir before, and the price premium I have found no better. The report qualitprix is ​​largely justified.
I srement remake the same choice, although now I wish acuqrir a washburn Nuno Bettencourt N4 Relic, which seems more lgre and a little less aggressive level look. The problem of N4 is that it has only 22 boxes and 3 positions instead of four microphones in the selector. J'hsite then! If qqu'un little advise me, or wants to exchange its N4 against my KH2 Ouija, I'm open to any proposal! ...
