I'm looking at getting a ESP KH-2, it's used but looks to be in
descent shape.
Any one own one or have played one, what is your thoughts on that
guitar?
I played several. I think they're ok, but a bit overpriced for what you get. Plus I think the rosewood and inlays look kinda cheap. Playability and tone are generally good though.
"I hate these filthy neutrals! With enemies, you know where they stand. But with neutrals... who knows? It sickens me!"
The used one I was looking is priced at $1400.
Seems to be priced better then most, no?
I havent priced any in quite a while but I got mine for about $800 a couple of years back. You can find alot of good guitars for $1400. Just depends on what will make you happy.
You get more bang for your buck with an M-II, which it is loosely based off of. I put EMG's and a battery box in mine.

I truly love the neck profile on the KH-2.
Everyting else is blah...doesn't appeal to me.
The skulls fret markers and EMG's aren't my bag.
Again the neck profile is great, fits like a glove, feels just right for me.
I have yet to find a neck that feels like that to my hand, great neck.
Would I spend 2 grand for a neck? Nope, not gonna happen.
Peace, Love and Happieness and all that stuff...

I personally do not care how it was built as long as it is a good playing/sounding instrument.
Just for reference...I picked up a used KH-2 at the Atlanta GC for $900 (2 years ago). Good condition so it is a player. I usually only buy mint used stuff but the feel was great and it does give me an appreciation for a guitar that should be played and not a case queen.
Yea you can find them a bit cheaper for a bolt on, its an alright playing guitar , i personally hate rosewood boards, and the inlays are total crap, but other than that no surprises, its a decent guitar.
