Product Description

Kirk Hammett is as synonymous with eye-popping guitar graphics as he is with wah pedal soloing. The KH Ouija is the latest to join the ranks, limited to just 500 of each worldwide. With a striking sparkle finish adorned with vintage-style graphics and active KH Bone Breaker pickups, this looks set to be an instant collector’s classic.

Body & Neck

An Alder body lays the foundation for a formidable tonal palette. 3-piece Maple and Macassar Ebony make up the neck and fretboard respectively, with a lightning-quick ultra-thin U neck profile. Expect a smooth yet snappy response that’ll cut perfectly through any mix – the ultimate lead playing config.

The body and neck also employ a neck-thru design, ensuring killer sustain and resonance throughout. Chugging riffs, soaring leads – the Ouija makes the cut.

Electronics & Hardware

Kirk Hammett’s signature active EMG pickups (aptly named ‘Bone Breaker’) use Alnico 5 and Ceramic magnets in the neck and bridge positions for smooth rounded rhythm tones and crisp crushing leads.

To finish it all off, black hardware is used throughout, including the Floyd Rose 1000 trem system. Effortless divebombs, pristine tuning stability, gnarly aesthetics!

This is the second Esp Ltd Ouija that I have received from Andertons with defects. This second replacement (pictured) has a scrape/gouge/missing paint right along where the neck meets the body. It is also covered in scratches/swirl marks, clearly from a poorly done finishing/buffing job. The clear coat looks hazy in any light and dull, and the entire appearance of the guitar is marred by the visible scratches. The first one I had to send back had a chip in the lacquer on the edge of the fretboard (high e side), and a defect/material in the clear coat/paint next to the neck pickup. Bearing in mind this is a £1500+ guitar, Andertons response and attitude has been exceptionally poor as per the emails I have received. They state that whilst this guitar (and the previous) one may not be up to my standards/expectations, Andertons would class these as A grade and therefore not recognise any fault or defect. They even go on to detail how the scratches/swirl marks are a by-product of the finishing process. That's entirely untrue, as any finish buffing is done to remove surface imperfections and swirl marks. Same for cars and many other products the world over. How on earth this can be an acceptable response, given the photos Its a shame as I waited since October 2019 for the UK to get these in stock, however as Andertons evidently do not class brand new gs with issues like this as defective, no exchange was offered for this second Ouija, and I was told I must pay the £15 courier charge to return it for a refund. Its now being restocked as new to be sold to the next buyer. This particular Ouija is no. 465. I am still waiting for ESP's response regarding this, as I do not believe the guitars I have received are A grade at all, and for £1500+ I'm hugely disappointed at the lack of quality ESP LTD are clearly producing, especially for a limited run model like this. If ESP admit this item is not up to spec then I will have to find a way to request the £15 courier charge back from Andertons, however being a previously loyal customer, this last experience has left me wondering whether I should take my custom elsewhere. Just a shame and disappointing..

This is a first class guitar. Feels awesome in hand and looks stunning. Pickups are super high output and very bright so EQ is your friend. Overall I can't fault it and delighted with the purchase.
