Kirk Hammett’s guitar collection is getting a lot of attention these days. Gibson made a feature-length YouTube video about it, and is documenting it in a deluxe coffee-table book. His most-famous electric guitars – Greeny, the Mummy, his ‘Factory Black’ 1959 Les Paul Standard et al – are household names.
But the Metallica guitarist has a problem. It’s a problem that many some players might relate to, an occupational hazard in Hammett’s instance. He has too many guitars. So many that he admits he has been selling them anonymously online to shrink his collection.
