EMG KH21 Pro Series Kirk Hammett

Kirk is truly the soloist of the decade and the KH21 is the tool. This system is a simple EMG-81/81 combination wired straight up with two volumes and a master tone. Lean and mean. Kirk first visited EMG back in the early 80's when Metallica was a local group on the rise. At that time Kirk was playing a Strat* equipped with an S/S/81 that we originally released as the KH20. Since then, Kirk has left the S's and club playing behind and moved to EMG-81's and the arenas.
Now it's the KH21. The sheer volume and amount of sound coming from the Metallica stage is incredible. The demands made on every piece of gear are extreme, it's no wonder Kirk has come to rely on EMG. The KH21 features a pearl laminate pickguard complimented with black dome knobs. Kirkís earlier system, the KH20, is still around but now you can choose to add any EMG Accessory and put together a system of your own.
