James Hetfield guitars version 4
metgear.xn.pl
Hetfield has been a major endorser of ESP
guitars since 1991, and is best known for
playing custom-made Explorer-style guitars
with an EMG 81/EMG 60 set for pickups. His
popularization of the models was considered
by some to be a catalyst in Gibson's decision
to sue ESP over loss of profits (Gibson
originated the model in the late 1950s and
has allowed other companies to build
replicas). Hetfield's main guitar from the
early days was a white Flying V, used almost
exclusively until it broke in 1987. After
that he used a 1984 white Gibson Explorer
bearing Metallica "Jump In The Fire" devil
custom artwork as well as the words "EET FUK"
and an '85 White Gibson Explorer. In 1988 he
switched to using white and black ESP
Explorer models.
During the mid-1990s, James Hetfield also
used his two signature ESP Flying V models,
one with red flames and one with green
flames. He also asked a friend to fix black
and silver diamond-plated metal onto the
surface of some of his ESP Explorer guitars.
Recently Hetfield has become a frequent user
of a Gibson Les Paul Custom, particularly the
1973 model.
James Hetfield is a true-blue guitar
tinkerer, whose experiments, placements of
stickers and modifications have resulted in
the production of signature models by ESP
guitars. He bought a black ESP ltd Viper
baritone 300, installed an EMG Afterburner
booster circuit, and asked a friend of his to
paint green flames on it. This resulted in
the limited edition "The Grynch" model
guitar. He splashed some Killrust grey paint
on an ESP Eclipse model guitar, installed EMG
81 & 60 pickups, moved the toggle switch to a
lower position- which resulted in the
signature model ESP "Truckster" guitar.
He also uses a two custom-made Explorer model
guitars, built by bass luthier Ken Lawrence.
Occasionally, James will use Kirk's electric
guitars in the studio, in particular his
Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters, as well
as his Tom Anderson ProAmm (which was used
for the clean guitar intro of "Enter
Sandman"). * ESP M-II "Zorlac". This was the
starting line for the whole KH series. It
features veritcal skull & crossbones opposed
to the horizontal ones featured on todays
KH's, and an upside down Jackson Guitars
style headstock which is what Kirk originaly
intended. However, Jackson Guitars was not
thrilled about this, and threatened law suits
if this model ever hit stores. So the
headstock was changed to a typical ESP but
flipped upside down. Picture Picture * ESP
KH-2 (Main touring guitar) Kirk's signature
model guitar is based upon the modifications
he made to his M-II. (Nicknamed "Skully"
because of the skull and crossbone inlays)

the rights to the image on it and it will NOT
be released by ESP.Picture * ESP KH-2 M-II -
Ouija. This guitar contains 2 spelling errors
on it. It sports the words "WILLIAM FUED
TALKING BAARD SET" but it in fact should say
"WILLIAM FULD TALKING BOARD SET"

Picture * ESP KH-2 M-II "Fuck You" KH-4. It's
the same as a typical KH-2, but with a
pearloid pickguard, dot inlays, a Roland midi
unit (for roland vg8/vg88), and the words
"FUCK YOU" written at the 12th fret. Picture
* ESP ESP MII Skully 7 String. Though it
belongs to Kirk, James mainly used it in the
studio for St. Anger. It doesn't go on tour,
rather than stays home with Kirk. Picture *
ESP KH-3 Eclipse - Pushead Spider graphic. It
is taken from a classic les paul jr. shape
with floyd rose and EMG pickups. Picture *

"Black Beauty"; Kirk also uses regular Les

albums. In 1989 he replaced the stock pickups
with EMG 81s. Was the third guitar he ever
owned.)Picture
Kirk Hammett's first guitar was a cheap
Montgomery Strat copy. The pickups had gold
aluminum foil on them, and there wasn't even
a name on the headstock.

features a new guitar which has "Invisible
Kid" written on it, which he uses in the song
"Invisible Kid"
