Epiphone Kirk Hammett Signature 1979 Flying V Purple Metallic - EIGCKH79FVPRMNH1
Unleash the power of metal with the Epiphone Kirk Hammett Signature 1979 Flying V Purple Metallic - EIGCKH79FVPRMNH1, a homage to one of the most influential heavy metal guitars of all time. This Flying V played a pivotal role in shaping Metallica's early sound, featuring prominently on albums like Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and more.
Crafted in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, the Epiphone Kirk Hammett 1979 Flying V is a meticulous recreation of Kirk's cherished original. The mahogany body and one-piece mahogany neck with volute ensure both resonance and durability. The Grover Rotomatic machine heads with "spade" buttons, along with a custom bridge, provide stable tuning and excellent playability.
The electronics are top-notch, featuring a pair of Gibson USA Calibrated T-Type humbucker pickups wired to CTS potentiometers and an Orange Drop capacitor. The Switchcraft 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and 1/4” output jack offer precise control over your tone. Adorned with a Kirk Hammett logo on the rear of the headstock, this Flying V is a true symbol of metal heritage.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Epiphone Kirk Hammett 1979 Flying V, complete with a black hardshell case featuring a red plush interior, is more than a guitar; it's a testament to the enduring legacy of a heavy metal legend. Own a piece of history and channel the raw energy of Kirk Hammett's iconic sound.
