Kirk Hammett has been ripping up solos for Metallica for over 30 years. Riffs on Ride the Lighting, Master of Puppetsand The Black Album are a must-learn for all rock guitarists. For Hammett, his tone starts with EMG pickups.
“Metallicas crunch sound is often cleaner than people expect, says Hammett. “My taste in tone has definitely changed over the years. I dont like to use as much distortion these daysI prefer my tone to be nice and crisp.” The Kirk Hammett Bone Breaker set is the result of taking the success of Metallica tone and adding some new elements without sacrificing gain for clean or vice versa. By making slight preamp adjustments and combining Alnico 5 and ceramic magnets, the perfect tone beast was created.
