From James' new book | Messengers: The Guitars of James Hetfield.

"Really a cool time in my life. I was 29 years old doing art in Metallica's newly purchased HQ. James had this blank ESP and asked me if I'd do a logo for him and paint it on there. When I painted it I didn't think he would be playing it live, but then again why wouldn't he? And he did, a lot. In years to come this basic black 1 shot paint job brought me quite a lot of attention. People were cloning it, making toys and all sorts of fan art. I can't tell you how many messages I got about it. Anyway, it's a great honor to be in my old buds book, that he asked me in the first place and that it's now named "The Dirty Donny" guitar." - Donny Gillies

"Messengers": The Guitars of James Hetfield

La primera guitarra de James Hetfield fue de segunda, comprada por su religiosa madre en una casa de empeños. Hetfield es recordado por los modelos blancos de la "Flying V"; pero hace más de un par de décadas la marca japonesa ESP ha aportado no sólo el diseño, sino el sonido particular de uno de los 100 mejores guitarristas del mundo 🎸

Todas sus guitarras, incluso algunas que regaló o que ya daba por perdidas, aparecen en un maravilloso libro de mesa de edición limitada llamado "Messengers", en el que las reseña por su valor emocional e histórico en la trayectoria de Metallica 🤘🏽

Por cierto, querido niño Dios...
