Overview

Metallica's Kirk Hammett is fascinated by the strange and macabre aspects of life, evidenced by his custom guitars featuring classic horror art and paranormal phenomena, most famously seen in his well-known Ouija guitars. The next step in his LTD Signature Series is the KH Demonology, a guitar powerful enough to summon the mightiest of dark forces. Over its black finish are a number of sigils, which are ancient symbols reputed to be imbued with magical power that allows the owner to summon demonic entities. Whether or not you use the KH Demonology as a portal to magical dimensions, it's an amazing musical instrument in its own right.

The KH Demonology is a neck-thru-body design at 25.5" scale, with a comfortably contoured alder body, an extra-thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck, and a Pao Ferro fingerboard inlaid with Kirk's skull-and-crossbones motif, along with 24 extra-jumbo frets. A set of active Kirk Hammett Bone Breaker pickups provide a range of tones that go from deep and rich to super aggressive with the flick of a toggle switch, and each pickup has its own volume control. The KH Demonology includes a Floyd Rose tremolo for expressive performance styles, and comes with a special Tombstone case, appropriate for this unearthly tool of musical mayhem.

I have a second review that I made about this guitar about 4 years ago the 1st time I purchased this guitar which I had to sell due to life. Finally got the chance to buy another one, they’ve been out of stock for a while With that being said The guitar plays and sounds amazing,I was very lucky and getting one with the darker rosewood fretboard almost looks like an ebony one. I’ve seen videos online about these and some come with a very light rosewood board and it just doesn’t look right to me so plus there.Also something I do remember from the first time I bought one It came with a normal set of EMGs the 81 and the 60 which I thought was strange, but this time around it did come with the Bonebreaker EMGs The guitar showed up nicely packaged And guitar was actually in tune when I pulled it out No dings or cracks, only flaw I can find is the corner of the fret board closest to the neck pickup is a little rough whoever dressed the frets could’ve been a little more careful And the springs on the Floyd where a little squeaky which was fixed with some WD-40But other than that I love the guitar Ive been a huge Metallica fan since I was a kid and Kirk is a huge inspiration in my playing and is the reason I honestly picked up a guitar Huge thanks to zZounds for making getting my Dream guitar possible a second time

Sound
Sound quality of the Instrument is solid, EMGs produce a comfortably familiar sound But guitar is adaptable to amp presets and… read more playing styles.

Features
The Floyd is awesome and stays in tune.Also one of the main reasons for purchasing.The alder body and maple neck are a nice classic combo.

Ease of Use
Guitar is super easy to use and fun to play Very nicely constructed Sounds great through practice amp as well.

Quality
Guitar seems to be made very well and feels it can stand the test of time.

Value
I feel it is worth the price of the guitar.

Manufacturer Support
I have never dealt with the company that makes the guitar.

The Wow Factor
If your a Metallica fan Even if you didn’t play guitar it’s like a collectible With playing guitar it’s like having your hero’s guitar in your own hands.
