Epiphone Kirk Hammett 1979 Flying V
Honoring One of the Most Important Heavy Metal Guitars of All Time
Metallica fans worldwide are familiar with Kirk Hammettâs 1979 Flying V. It was Kirkâs first Gibson and established his passion for Gibson guitars. Its purchase was inspired by famous Flying VâĒ 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 âEm All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, âĶAnd Justice for All, and The Black Album, making it one of the most important heavy metal guitars of all time. Now, Epiphone is partnering with the Gibson Custom Shop to release the Epiphone Kirk Hammett 1979 Flying V, a meticulous recreation of Kirkâs prized original. It features a mahogany body, a one-piece mahogany neck with volute, GroverÂŪ RotomaticÂŪ machine heads with âspadeâ buttons, and a custom bridge. The electronics are also top-notch, with a pair of Gibson USA Calibrated T-Type humbuckerâĒ pickups wired to CTSÂŪ potentiometers and an Orange DropÂŪ capacitor, and a SwitchcraftÂŪ 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and a 1/4â output jack. A Kirk Hammett logo adorns the rear of the headstock, and a black hardshell case with a red plush interior is also included.
