Kirk Hammett's Classic Monsters on display at SFO Airport

I wonder how long those are going to be there. I work in SF and it's not much of a BART train ride out to SFO

They should be there until early December but if you are not far, why wait! If you do go, let me know. There is one picture I forgot to take and would like to have you check something out for me on the Dracula.

Yeah I re-read through it and saw December, I got too caught up in the guit-porn

Cool, I will let you know. Did they whine at all about taking photos of them? Might be worth heading out there this up coming weekend and testing out the new Canon

Not at all. I had emailed the curator to get some info on location and told her I was going to be taking some pictures and she was all excited I would come all the way from Las Vegas to see it. Tickets were only $44 each way on Southwest and I used points (plus work ended up paying for the return flight by rerouting me to Orange County for work).

Anyway she said if I took pictures to hashtag them on social media. I told her I was not on social media but would spread the word on my guitar message boards i frequent.

BTW, the pic I am looking for is inside of the tremolo cavity of the dracula that has the tremsetter. I am curious if Kirk's tech applied a barcode in there (maybe under the springs) to track the guitar among their massive inventory. The Tom Anderson I bought that Kirk owned has a barcode and Tom indicated it was not anything they applied.

Also if you want to see more closeup pics, I have a thread on the ESP board. Their site doesn't require me to utilize a 3rd party photo sharing site so uploading pics is faster and easier there. http://www.espguitars.com/forums/196...at-sfo-airport

Cool pics - thanks for sharing! He has 3 of the Mummy guitars right? I don't recall seeing one with the hieroglyph inlays and two knobs before..

As far as I can tell, he has 5....two with Eye of Horus inlays, two with hieroglyphics, and then a mini 3/4 scale one with Eye of Horus. He rarely plays the hieroglphic ones because the inlays are confusing as hell. He used it for the Antactica show which you can see on Youtube. I think he has also played it at some of his Fear FestEvil events.
