Gibson Flying V Kirk Hammett 79 Ebony Murphy Lab Original Aged (2023)

If you are interested in the Metal scene, you might be familiar with Kirk Hammett's Flying V from 1979. It was Kirk's first Gibson and founded his passion for Gibson guitars. This year in honor of Kirk Hammett the Custom Shop released a replica of his Flying V, limited to 200 pieces. We are happy to offer you here serial number 091 of this special edition. And what a sound this guitar delivers! The two open T-Type humbuckers show up airy, open with nice mids and good attack, just as you would expect from a "V". The guitar resonates extremely well and makes real steam. Tight basses, silvery highs and rich mids. Especially distorted you have real fun here! This is exactly how Rock riffs and singing solo licks have to sound! If you're looking for a smacky, concise and assertive sound, this is the place to be. Kirk plays the original guitar to this day and has used it on all older Metallica albums, such as "Kill 'Em All", "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets", "And Justice For All" and of course the Black Album. This makes his Flying V one of the most important Heavy Metal guitars of all time and consequently makes this replica a sought-after collector's item with the best value retention. This is also ensured by its look, where every last detail of the original has been recreated, right down to the Gaffa tape on the back. Great aging job by the Murphy Lab with countless hairline cracks, quirks and a fabulous vintage finish in Ebony. The Kirk Hammett Custom-V neck profile is super comfortable in the hand and in conjunction with the deep dark rosewood fingerboard ensures first-class playing comfort. In addition to various case candies and a case that is true to detail down to the last sticker the certificate was signed by Kirk Hammett personally with his initials as a special treat. The collector's heart laughs, but this exceptional guitar has so much more to offer... All this should not be missed!
