January 6, 2010, 14 years ago
An ESP Flying V guitar that was previously owned by METALLICA's Kirk Hammett is being auctioned on eBay for a fixed price of $35,000 US.
The seller - Neals Vintage Guitars - comments: "This is a ESP Flying V that I personally bought from Kirk Hammett. I bought it in August of 1998. Kirk played this guitar in concert quite a bit! Just after that he gave me a back stage pass for a show at Irvine Meadows in Orange County, CA on the Load Tour, I went back stage and had every one in Metallica sign the guitar, I also had them sign the Load CD. I then had the pickguard sprayed with a clear coat to protect the signatures. Then in 2007 I was lucky enough to go the studio where Metallica was recording thier most recent album, Death Magnetic at that time I had Kirk sign the back of the headstock and sign the letter of authenticity. I am including a photo of Kirk signing the guitar! This guitar has lots of road wear from Kirk playing it, but it is in good solid condition and plays great!"
