I thought this was pretty cool and deserved its own thread :) It kinda looks like James might be bringing the V back on the road...It recently got a tune up:

The neck plate says Made In Japan, so I'd say not. Lawsuit guitar?

 

 

Last I heard it was an Epi or similar.

 

James Hetfield may be a huge larger-than-life rock star...but it's time for him to keep his shirt on. Forward that memo to Edward Van Halen too.

Yeah it's a copy for sure but he stuck that gibson truss rod cover on there long ago. He's never really said much about where he got it either.

 

 

Probably from a random ass guitar shop. I doubt it's "origin story" is interesting. There's a billion bolt-on Asian Gibson copies from teh 70s STILL floating around out there.

Did his V get a rejuvenation treatment?

Fuck, every time I see an original V I want one SO bad. They're just the perfect thrash guitar looks-wise. (even though I'm aware that's not a Gibson V... but the looks stand the same.)

 

I agree. That is the Hetfield mystic working in all of us. :thu:

Haha, this is true. :lol: I'm not a fanboy by any means, but for some reason, even though he's a dick and he hasn't written a good song (IMO) in about 20 years, there's still a part of me that sees him as a god... especially in old 80's pics during the Alcoholica years.
