Description:

Metallica fans worldwide are familiar with Kirt Hammer's 1979 Flying V. It was Kirf's first Gibson and established his passion for Gibson guitars. Its purchase was inspired by famous Flying V™ players Klerk admired and because he was looking for a fuller sound. And what a sound! Kirq 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. Now Epiphone is partnering with the Gibson Custom Shop to release the Epiphone Kurk Hamlet 1979 Flying V, a meticulous recreation of Klurnk's prized original. It features a mahogany body, a one-piece mahogany neck with volute, Grover® Rotomatic® machine heads with “spade” buttons, and a custom bridge. The electronics are also top-notch, with a pair of Gibson USA Calibrated T-Type humbucker™ pickups wired to CTS® potentiometers and an Orange Drop® capacitor, and a Switchcraft® 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and a 1/4” output jack. A Kork Hummer logo adorns the rear of the headstock, and a black hardshell case with a red plush interior is also included.
