It was Kirk’s first Gibson and established his passion for Gibson guitars. Its purchase was inspired by famous Flying V™ players Kirk admired and because he was looking for a fuller sound. And what a sound! Kirk still plays the original guitar to this day, and used it on all the early Metallica albums, including Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, …And Justice for All, and The Black Album, making it one of the most important heavy metal guitars of all time. Only 200 were hand-made by the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, artfully aged to match the original by the Murphy Lab. The included Certificate of Authenticity photo is signed by Kirk Hammett himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_bottom_desc rte\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShape\u003c\/b\u003e: Flying V \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e: 1-Piece Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e: 3-piece Mahogany with Volute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfile\u003c\/b\u003e: Kirk Hammett V Profile\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut width\u003c\/b\u003e: 1.54\" \/ 39.12mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard\u003c\/b\u003e: 1-piece Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale length\u003c\/b\u003e: 24.75\" \/ 628.65mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of frets\u003c\/b\u003e: 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut\u003c\/b\u003e: Corian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInlay\u003c\/b\u003e: Period Dot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge\u003c\/b\u003e: Custom Replica Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTailpiece\u003c\/b\u003e: Stop Bar; Heavy Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners\u003c\/b\u003e: M6 Schaller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlating\u003c\/b\u003e: Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck pickup\u003c\/b\u003e: T-Type Humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge pickup\u003c\/b\u003e: T-Type Humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls\u003c\/b\u003e: 2 Volume, Master Tone; CTS potentiometers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase\u003c\/b\u003e: SKB Flying V Case\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838890467647,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G43857123","price":5999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/KH167-3.jpg?v=1782094842","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/gibson-79-flying-v-kirk-hammett-ebony-murphy-lab-replica-aged-chrome-ebony-167-fv79khebch1-kh167","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
