Kirk Hammett discusses his signature KH-V from ESP in this interview:

What was your first impression when you got that gold one?

KH: I actually got goosebumps! I loved how it seemed to be patterned after that classic gold top look. Cream, plastic parts, gold hardware with a classic gold finish… and when I saw it, was like the perfect hybrid of the reality and my vision. It’s such a beautiful guitar. I strapped it on and played it later that day; just jamming out with friends for four or five hours. It’s an amazing, amazing guitar.

Have you used any of them in the studio recently, and if you have … which one of the three?The gold, the red, or the black?

KH: I've been using the gold one a lot you know, for the more active pick-up driven songs and music that we've been working on. It's great, because it has a completely different sound to my usual ESP's. My monster graphics guitars are great, and I love them, and I know what to expect, but these guitars sound completely different. It’s a different sound altogether

So will we see any of these on the tour?

KH: Absolutely! I intend on playing all of them are on tour, everywhere! I can't wait.

Which one of the three new designs is your favorite?

KH: Well you know… they’re all pretty bad-ass! I like them all for different reasons. The gold one is very elegant looking to me, I appreciate the classy, classic look put on a very modern design. I like joining of two different worlds. I kind of have a soft spot for that one.

Kirk uses Floyds on most of his guitars.
