Key Features
The Kirk Hammett 1989 Les Paul Custom is a metal icon brought back to life. Built by the Gibson Custom Shop and aged to perfection by the Murphy Lab, it mirrors the exact vibe and feel of Kirk's original stage-worn guitar. From the all-black aesthetic to the uncovered T-Type humbuckers, every detail channels raw attitude and road-tested tone.
This isn't just a collector's piece - it's fully loaded for performance. A Fishman Powerbridge piezo system adds a layer of acoustic-style clarity at the flip of a switch, expanding your tonal palette far beyond traditional Les Paul territory. Limited to just 125 guitars worldwide, it's a true tribute to one of metal's most influential players.

This guitar doesn’t just look the part - it *is* the part. A precise replica of Kirk Hammett’s 1989 Les Paul Custom, every ding, scratch, and finish check has been recreated by the Murphy Lab to match the original. From the aged ebony nitro to the blacked-out hardware, it captures decades of Metallica history in a single instrument.
The combination of uncovered T-Type pickups and a Fishman Powerbridge system makes this one of the most versatile Les Pauls Gibson has ever produced. Switch from snarling, mid-heavy crunch to detailed, shimmering acoustic-style tones - all from a single guitar, all with the flick of a toggle.
Crafted by the experts at Gibson’s Custom Shop, this Les Paul features a one-piece mahogany body, long neck tenon, and an ebony fretboard for that familiar, premium feel. It's built with the same care and detail as Kirk's own stage guitar, delivering top-tier playability and performance.
Only 125 of these guitars exist worldwide, each one individually numbered and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity and Gibson Deluxe Protector case. It’s more than just a tribute - it’s a rare chance to own a slice of metal history, built to play loud and last forever.
