What we say:
At A Glance:
The Gibson Custom Shop Kirk Hammett 1989 Les Paul Custom sees the Metallica guitarist's famous model recreated in stunning detail. Kirk's 1989 Les Paul Custom has been used on many of Metallica's albums and tours so if you're a fan, you'll likely be familiar with how legendary it is. Every detail has been carefully considered and it has been skillfully aged by Gibson's lauded Murphy Lab, giving this new model the same look and feel as Kirk's own.
Features We Love:
Murphy Lab Aged
The aging process under Tom Murphy's guidance has taken a leap forward, with the new nitrocellulose lacquer recreating the look of a guitar that has spent years in and out of its case with plenty of performance to create an authentic appearance. In this instance, Kirk's guitar has been studied to give an accurate recreation of the original. The Murphy Lab doesn't stop at giving you an authentically aged finish though, they know exactly how a vintage guitar should feel too, meaning they've also managed to capture the magic of the 1989 Les Paul Custom along with the look.
Fishman Powerbridge
Along with the riff ready tones available from the 498T bridge pickup and 490R neck pickup, you also have the added benefit of a Fishman Powerbridge Piezo pickup. Perfect for acoustic style sections, it has a full sound that would be perfect for songs such as Fade To Black without having to change guitar.
Gibson Custom Shop Quality
This guitar has been expertly crafted at the Gibson Custom Shop where some of the best luthiers in the business create guitars with a huge amount of passion and attention to detail. The feel, playability and attention to detail is mind-blowing.
Who Is It For?
Any fan of Kirk and Metallica would obviously appreciate this instrument but equally, any guitarist who values superb craft and premium instruments will find a lot to love here.
Highlights:
- An authentic recreation that looks and feels like the original
- Excellent range of tones available
