Richard Zven Kruspe

Most of the concerts Richard plays on the exclusive ESP RZK-I BURNT (guitar information is available on the official website of ESP). Richard takes a white ESP to perform the Deutschland song, you can see this in the video.

On the official site of ESP, it says that Kruspe has endorsed the brand since 1997, and it quotes RZK : "I fell in love with ESP guitars, and i've been with them ever since."

It lists the RZK-II Burnt as his signature guitar, and includes this photo of him with it.

This was an auction for Richard's main guitar in the early days of Rammstein, the 901. This was used to record Herzeleid, and possibly Sehnsucht. It was used extensively until 1997, when he began using an ESP KH-2 for drop D tunings and the 901 for standard tunings, and then replaced by a 2nd KH-2. He then "revived" the guitar in the early 2000s by adding a white pickguard and installing EMG pickups, using it for songs that required alternate tunings like Mein Herz Brennt.

Richard also has a 2nd 901 that was used extensively during the 1997 leg of the Sehnsuct tour and in the music video for the song Engel.

Normally what I do, I have one amp that I use very regularly, and it’s the Mesa Boogie MK II C+ which is like one of those Holy Grail amps. I love that amp. I used it on the new Rammstein record along with a Friedman amp which I like too for some of the crunchy sounds.
