Kirk Hammett's 1979 Flying V is a familiar guitar to Metallica fans around the world. The guitar was Kirk's first Gibson and one that established his passion for Gibson guitars. Kirk's purchase was inspired by the famous Flying V players he admired at the time and his desire for a fuller sound. Kirk continues to play that original guitar to this day, and has recorded a number of songs including "Kill 'Em All," "Ride the Lightning," "Master of Puppets," ". And Justice for All" and "The Black Album". Kirk's Flying V has earned a reputation as one of the most important guitars in heavy metal.
