(Needed context for this blog post: “ESP launches long-awaited Kirk Hammett LTD KH-V signature models”: https://www.guitarworld.com/news/esp-ltd-kh-v-kirk-hammett-signature)

Although the return of NAMM is just a month away, ESP has wasted little time making waves in the gear market. Per Matt Owen of Guitar World, ESP will release their brand new Kirk Hammett signature Flying V-style guitars at the end 0f March 2023.  Announced nine months ago in the summer of 2022, the new V will come in cherry red, black, and metallic gold. Whilst I may not have $1800 to spend on a guitar, I think it’s always cool to see new guitars, and the fact that Kirk finally has a signature V is awesome to me.
