Guitar That Once Belonged To METALLICA's KIRK HAMMETT Being Auctioned For $35,000

January 6, 2010

An ESP Flying V guitar that METALLICA's Kirk Hammett used live on stage prior to August 1998 is being auctioned on eBay for a fixed price of $35,000. The seller, Neals Vintage Guitars, writes on the auction page, "Kirk played this guitar in concert quite a bit! Just after that, he gave me a backstage pass for a show at Irvine Meadows in Orange County, California on the 'Load' tour, I went backstage and had everyone in METALLICA sign the guitar, I also had them sign the 'Load' CD. I then had the pickguard sprayed with a clear coat to protect the signatures. Then, in 2007, I was lucky enough to go the studio where METALLICA was recording thier most recent album, 'Death Magnetic'. At that time I had Kirk sign the back of the headstock and sign the letter of authenticity. I am including a photo of Kirk signing the guitar!

"This guitar has lots of road wear from Kirk playing it, but it is in good solid condition and plays great!"
