If youre a Metallica fan youve almost certainly witnessed the infernal majesty of this V before, it was, after all, the very guitar that kick started Kirks love of Gibson. Purchased to fill a tonal void in his rig, and inspired by the iconic Flying V players Kirk admired, this 1979 model has a rich and storied past!
