Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett 1989 Les Paul Custom, Ebony

An Artfully Recreated and Aged Version of the Metallica Icons Versatile Les Paul Custom

To fans of metal, Kirk Hammett needs no introduction. Longtime fans will also no doubt be familiar with his blacked-out 1989 Gibson Les Paul Custom, which he has used on numerous Metallica albums and tours. Now the Gibson Custom Shop has recreated this renowned guitar in exquisite detail. Like the original, the Kirk Hammett 1989 Les Paul Custom features all-black hardware, and per Kirks wishes, it comes equipped with uncovered T-Type pickups, along with a Fishman Powerbridge piezo bridge pickup system with a Fishman Powerchip preamp and volume control that bring simulated full-bodied acoustic tone to this versatile Les Paul Custom. Artfully aged by the Murphy Lab to match the look and feel of Kirks original 1989 Les Paul Custom, only 125 units have been crafted in a fitting tribute to a metal guitar master and one of his favorite instruments.
