Crafted by hand with painstaking detail at the world-famous ESP Custom Shop in Japan and limited to just 25 pieces worldwide, the ESP KH Ouija Natural is — from day one — a rare and highly-coveted Signature Series guitar created for Kirk Hammett of Metallica. The ESP KH Ouija Natural takes the famed graphics from Kirk Hammett’s original Ouija guitar and uses them on a stunning hand-selected, highly-figured, 5mm thick, quilted maple “drop top” that complements the guitar’s alder body.
