Metallica at the Wiltern last night; Jackson sighting

They might as well go the whole hog and start playing Gibson 335's. James's guitars haven't looked too far off that recently.

He recorded some of the black album with a Gretch White Falcon, so what's your point? Metallica can do whatever they want. ESP surely doesn't care if he plays a ukelele.

Well my point would be, the Black album was when they started to turn into shit.
No one other than Malcolm Young ever put a White Falcon to good use.

Metallica can, of course do whatever they want. I just wish they'd do something GOOD again.

Billy Duffy.

Hmm, yep, that about conclusively proves Martin's point.

Pfffft, Billy Duffy, indeed!

I thought he didn't start using the Rhoads until the Black album though? I know it's his D Standard guitar. I made a thread about it awhile back.

It's been his standard D guitar since the black album.
Do you not own a copy of the Master of Puppets album? There's pics of it in there. He's had that guitar sine the Ride The Lightning tour. It's a black string-thru Custom RR with EMG pickups... 81 bridge and H neck. The H is a single coil in humbucker housing. I know he also has one of the aluminum Roswell Rhoads models, and I heard he's got another black RR with a Floyd.
