How is that not just a flying v with emg's?

My thoughts exactly. It does have the older, rounder headstock, though. I'd rather have his old ESP KH-1 V signature.

I like the one laying on that case.

I've seen Metallica live a number if times, and the only gibson I have ever seen him play live was a les paul. I've seen him play Kramers, and ESP (obvious) and his Jackson but never a gibson flying V. has anyone else? Probably not for an extremely long time, why are they bothering with this? He jumping ship from ESP or something?

I got to see them right after Kill em All came out. He played 2 Gibson V's for the 5 songs they played. Had to stand at the front door due to the 21 or over bullshit, but I did get to see em for the most part. I got a free Kill em All album. Didn't like em live, but the album said it all. I was hooked after that.

Early on, he played Gibson Vs. I've never seen him play a Kramer, but I know he had a couple Ibanez RGs and he smashed at least one of them on stage. I also saw a pic of him from around the Load era where he played an Ibanez Iceman.

Can't wait to get into a fight with someone for fucking up my duct tape, depreciating it by $1000.

I 'think' this is a Kramer pacer with the funky paint that changes color in different light, good view at around 4:23, but I could never read the headstock. Anyone else know for sure?

[toejam]

Could be a Kramer. I thought it might be a Fernandes, as he had a few of those, but not sure on that one. The Fernandes models I remember seeing him with were stratheads, but Fernandes did have a pointy headstock similar to that at one time. He's got a shitload of guitars, so who knows?

[GuerillaPete]

I think the red one in the vid-clip is a Fernandes. He had Fernandes, Tom Ansersons on the Justice Tour. THen on the Black Album tour he would bring out 'firewood' guitars for his solos and then attempt to smash them.
