Gibson Custom Limited Edition Murphy Lab Kirk Hammett 1989 Les Paul Custom, Ebony Overview
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 Kirk’s 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 brings simulated full-bodied acoustic tone to this versatile Les Paul Custom.
Artfully aged by the Murphy Lab to match the look and feel of Kirk’s original 1989 Les Paul Custom, it is a fitting tribute to a metal guitar master and one of his favorite instruments.
