Description
Sleek and stylish as ever, the Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett 1989 Les Paul Custom is a one-of-a-kind guitar synonymous with rock 'n' roll royalty. Sporting a howlin' pair of humbuckers and a remarkable Fishman Powerbridge piezo pickup, this axe isn't your standard Gibson guitar - it's a tonal behemoth ready to take on any stage. If you've been searching for the perfect '80s Les Paul Custom, you're looking right at it. This beauty is a lean, mean, metal machine crafted to the highest standards of luthiery.
Starting with a solid mahogany body, a plain maple top, and an ebony fingerboard, the Kirk Hammett 1989 Les Paul Custom produces a rich sound with dark, full-bodied mids and bright, articulate highs. Like Kirk's guitar, this beast features T-type humbuckers, giving it a killer medium-output snarl with plenty of crunch and bite. Plus, it boasts an incredible Fishman Powerbridge piezo pickup for players looking to unleash a bold acoustic tone.
It doesn't just sound good, though. With its SlimTaper mahogany neck, Corian nut, and 22 frets, this Les Paul Custom plays with a lightning-fast feel. Guitarists will also appreciate its blacked-out hardware and gorgeous Murphy Lab aging, which make it a dead-ringer for Kirk's own '89 Les Paul Custom.
Kirk Hammett isn't just a phenomenal musician. He's a force of nature who shaped metal guitar as we know it, and his '89 Les Paul Custom has been a pivotal part of his sound. So, if you're the type of player who appreciates masterful craftsmanship, vintage guitars, and above all else - '80s rock and metal - you'll love the Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett 1989 Les Paul Custom.
