METALLICA - Gibson Issue KIRK HAMMETT Flying V
March 22, 2012, 12 years ago
Throughout his nearly 30-year tenure with METALLICA, guitarist KIRK HAMMETT has played a 1979 Gibson Flying V. In celebration of his amazing career, Gibson Custom introduces the Kirk Hammett Flying V (pictured below), a meticulous recreation of Kirk’s own Flying V. This tribute to Hammett’s achievements will be produced in strictly limited numbers: 50 guitars will be aged and signed by the artist himself, with a further 100 guitars aged only.
To recreate the Kirk Hammett Flying V in intricate detail, the acclaimed luthiers at Gibson Custom digitally scanned Kirk’s original 1979 Flying V and precisely measured every significant specification, sparing no effort in the task of reproducing this iconic guitar’s tone, feel and mojo for a limited number of players.
