ESP KH2 Ouija

bought for only usd1050..yup..very cheap at that time
its a 1997 model...made in japan
same features like everybody else...

if u want to play exactly like mr hammett..i think this is the nearest to his sound..everythings good..no doubt about it..
i use marshall amp and few effects...(almost exactly what kh have..)
the sound sustain and suitable for heavy metal..
sell it? over my dead body..

everythings cool except its not a neck thru' guitar like hammett..

yup..good for live gigs..
i think it'll last 4ever as long as u dont smash it..
backup?no..(xtra elec bills paym & g,b,e strings i guess...good for lead..u wouldnt know..)

never yet..
almost 6 years..no need warranty!

ive been playing guitar since 1987..ive owned fender(too soft),ibanez jem s.vai & rg and for now gibson les paul, godin, kh2,kh2 ouija and kh3.
if it were stolen...ill find that motherfucker and shove his ass with my fender..

i have one. i play it daily. i also have a kh-2 witout the ouija. i never play it. the ouija is an awesome guitar. i dont think i could ever sell it. i cant even stop playing it, ven though i paid $1400 for another guitar!

i play the guitar through a mesa triple recitifier, so its pretty tight. has nice treble mids and bass.

i can say that the strings are like a millimeter off the fretboard. i have never had an adjustment, and i have 0 fret buzz. i have owned the guitar about 3 1/2 years.

i would never use this guitar out only due to rarity.

ive been playing eleven years. ilove everything about this guitar and hate absolutely nothing about it. it is a great guitar.

It was made in 1999 (or about that time,don't remember exactly) and as the KH are made in Japan...
As any superstrat guitar built by ESP it has 24 frets (moon & star inlay).
The "ouija" name comes from the drawing on the body.
The pickups are to humbuckers EMG 81 active pickups (MetallicA's most used configuration)
The difference from the other MII & MIII is that you have 2 volumes (and of a course a 3 way selector and a tone).
As I said active pickups so they are incredibly quiet.
I don't know if the neck is bolt on or neckthru (and I don't really care,you can have nice bolt on and crappy neckthru...)
The body is made of alder that's all I remeber for woods...sorry.
The finish ok, so it's black (thick painting) with a Ouija board drawing on the body and pickups.
The body a super strat (way better looking than a Fender,ha!)
As any real guitar of this price with ESP you have an original floyd rose!
I might be wrong but I think I heard the tuners where Gotoh...
The neck is perfect like never seen anywhere else.If you played an MII or MIII it's even better (thiner) than that!The frets are smooth,everything is made to make it even faster than any nice neck available on the market.
As it is a signature model it's sold with the case.(not my MIII,i had to buy it seperatly cause the french importer is not doing his job...I bought a gator case for it)
Any tool needed to maintain the guitar comes with it.

My advice,if you already have an MII or MIII and find a Ouija get it! It's even better!(inbelievable,but it really is)

It suits heavy metal as no other guitar!
But you have a smooth clean sound too.
I use a boss GT-6 multieffects with an Engl amp (all tube)
Tha active pickups mute the guitar when you don't play and give enormous power when you hit the strings.
The sound is more than rich and you can have whatever you want combined to a multieffect
As I say I play metal but also blues rock...almost everything exept raegge.This guitar suits every style!
I like everything about its sound

The finish is perfect!
Nothing else ti say!

The only thing I added was the strap locks.
I would definitly use it whith no backup (exept for the strings,you never know!)

I didn't have to use it.
Once I asked something to the french importer he was a dumbass not doing his job and not caring about me cause I already had the guitar.
So I phoned to LA and every body was nice and knew everything.
(it's usefull to speak english,lol)

I will not give this guitar away for anything!
If you find one buy it!
If you like Kirk you won't resist it.If it's good for him it sure is good for you!

I've got one. Ouija board graphic in body,half moon inlays.
2xEMG81. Had to buy the case separate. In Portugal ESP representative
rips you off asking more money for the case

Heavy Metal wet dream. Very aggressive sound. The EMGs are the best
high output pickups. I run mine throug a Marshall JCM-2000 in the
lead chanel it's simply devastating.

Good factory setup.
Finish flawless.
The neck doesn't feel like my first KH-2 wich was really sweet.

I think it will outlive my grand children.
Terrific build quality.

Never required

this guitar to be sure was made in 1998 in Japan(go figure ESP), standard eguipment on it is alder soloist style body maple neck 24 xtra jumbo frets moon inlays, gotoh tuners, 5way pickup selector and 2 emg pickups(81's), they should be active even though my cousin says they aren't, finish is black w/quija board paint,black hardware and floyd original bridge, and includes tolex case

this guitar had a great sound especially for metalicca, just to let you know this is my cousins guitar. he uses an rp 12 processor , i really liked the sound over all

the guitar for the most part was set up good the action was a little high for an 1800 dollar guitar i thought and i was recently told that the folyd wasn't staying in toon other than that every thing else was in perfect working order

this guitar will most likely do fine once it is set up by a tech, everything else again is fine, it should do fine w/o a back up being a high end guitar i think

i called them my self and asked told them about the problem i forget who i talked too but he was very informative, but some can be snobs, trust me

playing for 3 yrs, i thought it could have been set up better my cousins 700 dollar jackson sounded just as good and it stayed in tune, i liked every thing about it except the action and that the trem wouldn't stay in tune, i pesonally if i had money to spend would buy and esp
