Gibson Custom Shop is proud to unveil its next global release in partnership with Kirk Hammett, legendary guitarist of METALLICA.

The Gibson 1989 Kirk Hammett Les Paul Custom is available worldwide at authorized, premium Gibson Custom Shop dealers and on www.gibson.com.

 
"This black 1989 Les Paul Custom is actually the first Les Paul I ever played live on stage and on tour," says Kirk Hammett. "I got it when we were on the ...And Justice For All tour, specifically for "Fade To Black" because I really wanted that big, fat, creamy Les Paul sound for the intro. I loved how fast the neck was and after my tech modified a bunch of the hardware, making it 'none more black,' it ended up being a great live metal guitar. It's a very dependable and reliable guitar, and I've used it for decades. I hope you all will enjoy it as much as I did!"
