DescriptionKirk Hammett approached ESP in 1990 to create this mystical themed guitar based on Hasbro's classic board game. This instrument was owned by the musician, and was his number ONE instrument in the 1990s. It was heavily stage-played and used on several album recording sessions including none other than 'Metallica' (most commonly known as 'The Black Album', released in 1991) ,'Load' (1996), 'Reload' (1997) 'Garage Inc.' (1998), and 'S&M' (1999). This guitar was used to record some of the most legendary tracks by Metallica and is considered to be one of the most important guitars in the history of heavy metal music. The detailed history of Kirk Hammett's guitar is inscribed by the musician on the reverse side of the guitar.Related ContentAbout the Artist
