Kirk Hammett Instagram – Do you know what the albums Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, …And Justice for All, and The Black Album all have in common? In addition to being among the greatest albums in metal, ALL of these albums featured Kirk Hammett‘s 1979 Gibson Flying V. This particular Flying V was Kirk’s first Gibson, and he still plays it to this day. The Gibson Custom Shop is excited to announce that we have partnered with Kirk to recreate one of the most important heavy metal guitars of all time, his 1979 Flying V. Head to the Gibson.com now! Only 200 of these special guitars were hand-made by the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, and artfully aged to match the original by the Murphy Lab. The included Certificate of Authenticity photo is signed by @KirkHammett himself. #gibson #gibsoncustom #kirkhammett #1979flyingv   Kirk Hammett Photo Credits: Brian Lew, Gene Ambo, Frank White and Kevin Hodapp Pyrotechnics Provided By J.E.M.
