No kidding. I watched a recent review and he just mopped up with his lead playing after saying, "Who am I kidding, I can't play leads." Not kidding anyone, mate.
@@agufish You mean like you had to practice it? As in, you're human? Your lead in another recent video killed even more. Humility is a good thing, but you can clean up when you want to.
I just bought my KH3 today. 15% off for Black Friday. Almost everyone was out of stock, felt so lucky to find one. My wife maybe wasn't so happy. Coincidentally, as soon as I got in my truck Metallica started playing on the radio I told her it was a sign affirming my decision and excellent taste.
I absolutely love how added that flourish that Kirk adds to the solo on "One" when he plays it live. Not my taste in guitars, but I was highly entertained by this video.
For someone who says he sucks at leads, your leads were better than many lead guitarists in my ear. I don't like leads that exaggerate and yours were a nice blend of simple, melodic and technical at the same time. Good stuff!
Fantastic track Hunter! That "whammy bar wiggle face" was epic! Great video as usual. Your playing and riffage just keeps getting better and better. God bless and rock on!
Just ordered one a day ago. Wanted one for a long time but, it always got sidelined for many others. This 30th Anniv version seems fantastic. Cant wait!
Sort of unrelated but I finally ordered one of my dream guitars; a white LTD Snakebyte and this video is making me wish it were here already. It shipped last night! F[Hetfield bleep] yeah!
That was some awesome work, your track you made sounds better than what they have put out since the Black Album. Your little work at the clean sections was amazing.
That demo is 🔥 af! It honestly sounds like an actual Metallica song. Are these available online? I want one soooooo bad. This guitar has been on my mind for weeks
6:13 "abailable only in 2021" Sorry for being typo police! lol Great track, I've been a metallica fan since 88 (I was 8) and like you spent a lot of time trying to play/sound like them!
Very nice review my friend other than refering to your self as a looser in high school ,i think your very talented and its great to see a young guys getting into metal and keeping it alive not rap garbage music ,great review im buying one ,i have a demonology model now
I was at a Metallica show in either 96 or 97 during the load tour I think.. when the apocalypse section of the show happened it was genuinely frightening.. especially not knowing it was part of the show until much later.. great show.
They made him this guitar because back then he was still using a black Gibson Les Paul with the EMG. So ESP wanted to make him something that had the body style of a Les Paul.
I really really would be so close to buying one if the volume wasnt strat-esque close to the bridge. That volume knobs proximity and the spider logo are the drawbacks. Put this out in some different colors? Hell yeah. Purple? Instantaneously SOLD. Could you confirm if this the body is noticeably smaller than a regular LP? It always looked pretty teeny on Kirk. If they sold a perhaps a cheaper model with the floyd still there - man, it would be so cool. Seeing the Monsters of Rock vids on early TH-cam, 2006, when I was 11 - is what made me pick up guitar. Nostalgic as all hell.
Very helpful always. Finally I have yet ordered this guitar..haha. This one is more brutal or powerful than old KH602. The body shape seems to be most affecting one in spite that the bonebreaker pickup in this guitar might be weaker and instead more sound fluent than EMG 81/60 set in KH602. *Eventually and unintentionally, I bought 3 guitars introduced from you. Haha. But this one is almost decided from you. Thanks.
For the guys who insist there's no reason for a tone knob on a guitar I present you the EMG 81 as a counter argument, and apparently the 60A is also helped out by about 60 to 90 degrees of tone knob rotation. I definitely prefer the X series pickups for guitar and for bass. One of the strengths of the EMG pickup and preamp line of products is the versatility, the wide variety of tones that are possible with every EMG product I've ever installed or played in a guitar or bass.

Here, have a dollar sir!
Sponsor me a wah and I'll play long train running. Oh wait!
I want more wah abuse!
Kill the wah! No , just kidding
Don’t be a crybaby
For a guy who rags on himself for his lead playing...that was not half bad. Solid.
I enjoy his solos too
Agreed.
No kidding. I watched a recent review and he just mopped up with his lead playing after saying, "Who am I kidding, I can't play leads." Not kidding anyone, mate.
You also don’t know how many attempts that took... 😂

Really cool for that Kirk guy to be able to play a guitar that's been played by a TH-cam celebrity
That guitar is the main reason that made me pick my first sc with a floyd on it
Duuuude. You looked like you enjoyed yourself soo much writing playing the song.
One of the last Light Bearers here!
Blessed Be my Brother 💛

F*** YEAH THAT TRACK!
Bruh, the lead on that demo had me fooled that you're a rhythm player. It's clear how much this guitar inspired you. Great stuff dude!
That track's got some of the best nods to their stylistic tricks, as well as the dead on tone, fantastic Homage!
Fantastic track Hunter! That "whammy bar wiggle face" was epic! Great video as usual. Your playing and riffage just keeps getting better and better. God bless and rock on!
Dude...the 7min 4 sec mark of this video is the best thing I've ever seen! 🤣
Great vid as always man, whaddup Pringle?!!
Literally was watching the unboxing from last week wondering when your next vid would drop. THANK YOU FOR OBLIGING ME! ❤️🤘🔥
Lol I gotchu
Jesus... That demo gave me goosebumps 🔥
This model and the "Flames" Hetfield Flying V's are way underrated.
I get so jealous seeing hunter crank riffs out like nothing
Was head banging through the whole demo, great job!
Very creative that mate 👌🏻 nice one scouse

That demo is 🔥 af! It honestly sounds like an actual Metallica song. Are these available online? I want one soooooo bad. This guitar has been on my mind for weeks
Thank Hunter!
6:13 "abailable only in 2021" Sorry for being typo police! lol Great track, I've been a metallica fan since 88 (I was 8) and like you spent a lot of time trying to play/sound like them!
Oh god I love this so much holy shit.....

Holy fuck buddy. That demo track was killer haha.
One of the best riffs I think you’ve written!
Sounds absolutly brutal!
Hunter rocks!!
That track...YOU CRAZY? So good. Too good. Rock on buddy🤘🏻🇧🇳
Dude, you nailed that Nothing Else Matters tone!
You NAILED to metallica tone. Well done!
That was your best metal song that I can remember.... great job
Took me 2 years to get this and just got mine today. And suddenly I'm a shredder
Very nice review my friend other than refering to your self as a looser in high school ,i think your very talented and its great to see a young guys getting into metal and keeping it alive not rap garbage music ,great review im buying one ,i have a demonology model now
Solid demo track🤘
Your sound for Nothing else matters was very good man
When all else fails always count on the good ol #2 note lol.
These guitars should come bundled with a mandatory wah pedal. Loved the demo!
Just got off the phone with Kirk, he said you can keep it, and also to stop writing better solo's than him
Waiting for this guitar to hit Mexico.
Hope to get it soon
Keep it up bro 🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻
You nailed the lead!
Just played one of these at a local shop pretty badass
I was at a Metallica show in either 96 or 97 during the load tour I think.. when the apocalypse section of the show happened it was genuinely frightening.. especially not knowing it was part of the show until much later.. great show.
We need hunter for James' parts in a Metallica tribute/appreciation show whenever that's about to go down. Killer demo track dude!
Hunter writes the best demo songs on TH-cam.
I just preordered mine
They made him this guitar because back then he was still using a black Gibson Les Paul with the EMG. So ESP wanted to make him something that had the body style of a Les Paul.
Nice playing btw brother
I can't wait to get
Will you ever demo the Josh Middleton signature?
nice of you to let kirk borrow it for a bit!
James is gonna steal the riff in that demo...
I love it. So iconic
Thanks for the video sick guitar. I think I want it to go with my ESP KH-2 and Truckster!
Dooood! Huge metallica fan....they wish could have come up with that song! 🤘
Great lead! you surprised me!
That riff at 3:42 is Modern Metallica to the max. Same with the tone. Great work
I must be the only person in the world who loves the Melody Maker headstock.
the kick off!
This sounds like just one of the 250 riffs I discovered on some guys phone I found. #kirkhammettlostphone
I feel the guitar would look pretty damn cool with green binding. Whatcha think?
Dude you might be onto something! Like same green as the spider and the EMG logos??
@@agufish you are correct sir. Yes.
HERO OF THE DAY .. MY MAN!! 🤘🤘🎸🎸🥰🥰
Man ! Those solo was very Kirk Hammet alike
My wife got this Guitar for me for my birthday back in June. It is so darn sexy. ......
another great track....🤘🎸❤
Should write a note to Kirk and leave it in the case or hide in the control cavity if it’s really going to him next! Sweet video man I want one now
Just ordered one from Sweetwater!!
I can't wait to get kh3 spider
ESP should give you one of those because you basically just sold me one right now holy shit.
Did we just see hunter do a sick guitar solo? Yes we did
Man that's awesome! What is your eq in this distortion thanks
next mod project will be a near dead les paul with scalloped frets?
I really really would be so close to buying one if the volume wasnt strat-esque close to the bridge.
That volume knobs proximity and the spider logo are the drawbacks. Put this out in some different colors? Hell yeah. Purple? Instantaneously SOLD.

You know, Cunning Stunts was actually a play on Stunning C......
...uh, Great video Hunter!!! Btw, you've officially sold me on scalloped upper frets.
Yeah the actual term is spoonerism lol
Just got this yesterday it Is a killer guitar had sweetwater plek the board, I like the headstock offers some more sustain not so much string angle.
That neck isamazing
Nice 👍 play ing man!
Very helpful always.

I don't know why but the style of this guitar screams 90s to me. In a good way.
