A recreation of Kirk Hammett's 1979 Gibson Flying V.

Metallica fans worldwide are familiar with Kirk Hammett's Flying V. 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. 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 Gibson Custom Shop, artfully aged to match the original by Murphy Lab. The included Certificate of Authenticity is signed by Kirk Hammett himself.
