Epiphone Kirk Hammett 1979 Flying V Electric Guitar - Ebony Reviews
Epiphone partnered with the Gibson Custom Shop to create the Kirk Hammett 1979 Flying V, a solidbody electric guitar inspired by the Metallica lead guitarist's prized original. Kirk's '79 Flying V was all over the group's early albums, including Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and …And Justice for All, so if you've ever taken a deep dive into this groundbreaking material, you know the sound of this axe. The Epiphone Kirk Hammett 1979 Flying V brandishes a "V"-shaped mahogany body, a set mahogany neck, and an Indian laurel fingerboard, along with nickel hardware. You also get Gibson USA T-Type humbuckers, ensuring that this Epiphone model delivers a tone comparable to its limited-edition Custom Shop cousin. A Kirk Hammett logo on the rear of the headstock puts the final aesthetic touch on this impressive solidbody electric.

Old-school Metal Machine
Great guitar right out of the case!(we all gotta have a hardshell case with a Flying V; good job, Epiphone) May seem a bit high of a price point, but with Gibson guts & specs, it's pretty hard to complain. There's nothing I want to do to this guitar, mod-wise. It sounds & plays terrific on any amp I put it through, from an EVH Stealth to a Marshall MG. And the little details like the shorty headstock & period-correct bridge are just delightful. From a collector/Metallica fan standpoint, this is too good to pass up!
