“I of course fully endorse ANY mods done to any of my designs, let alone from the great Hammett”: Kirk Hammett orders up custom Thinline version of Jack White’s Fender Triplecaster – and gets one for White, too

Kirk Hammett plays his Mummy ESP onstage with Metallica. In the middle of this comp'd image is the Thinline custom Triplecaster Hammett commissioned then gifted to White. On the right, White plays his Fender Triplecaster with the yellow pickguard.

Kirk Hammett has done the impossible; he might just have made Jack White’s Fender Triplecaster even cooler.

The Metallica lead guitarist ordered up a custom version of White’s factory-Frankenstein’d Tele signature guitar that reworked the Triplecaster’s body as a Thinline in the classic fashion, i.e. complete with f-holes. And Hammett had the Fender Custom Shop make one for White, too.
