If you are a fan of Metallica, then you will be familiar with Kirk Hammett`s 1979 Flying V Guitar. Kirk`s flying V was his first Gibson, which established himself as part of the Gibson family. He was inspired by the flying V because he was looking for a much fuller sound! The same guitar still gets played to this day, which was used on all of the early Metallica albums, making it one of the most important heavy metal guitars of all time!

This guitar is a recreation of the original. It features a Mahogany body, A Mahogany neck, which is made from one single piece, Grover tuners, and a custom bridge.

Key Features

  • Iconic Flying V – Stand out from the crowd with the iconic flying V shape, and a guitar recreated like the iconic Kirk Hammett instrument.
  • Grover Tuners – Grover locking tuners are one of the best tuners found on guitars, and they keep your guitar in tune so you have more time to play “Master of Puppets” instead of having to check your tuning!
  • Full on Sound – The Gibson USA Calibrated T-Type Humbuckers will make sure your sound punches through the mix, like “Nothing Else Matters!”

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
