USED Gibson Custom Shop / Kirk Hammett Flying V Aged Ebony -2012- [04]

Kirk Hammett Flying V Aged Ebony was produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces in 2012!

This is the Flying V that Kirk purchased in 1979 and has used in many of his performances.
Only 150 pieces were produced in total: 50 Aged & Signed and 100 Aged.

The actual guitar had already retired from the lineup after being played to the bone by the time it was released in 2012, but it has been reproduced to the ultimate extent, including the scratches and weather checks that were caused by playing it up to that point.

EMG-81 front pickup and EMG-H rear pickup.
One active hum and one single each, the key to Kirk's aggressive sound.
The headstock is slightly rounded and triangular, an exact replica of the 70's specs.
Kirk's particular settings, such as the gummed tape on the back, the modified Tune-O-matic bridge, and the escutcheon, as well as the nut width of 40mm, the split part of the pickguard, and other precise work with detailed profiles shine through.

The frets are jumbo frets.
It appears to be almost unplayed and has over 90% remaining.
The neck is in good condition, and the truss rod has been checked at 90 degrees on each side, but it looks like it can still turn more than that.

There is some damage as it is over 10 years old, but since the original is aged, there are few parts that are noticeable.
The gummed tape is coming off in places and may have been repaired.
Warranty: 12 months
Serial number: HAMMET 041
Weight: 3.15kg
