The New James Hetfield Model - Info
Ok guys..... I got some info on the new Hetfield model. 1) It will be the Iron Cross Les Paul for sure! (nothing new here, I know) 2) It is very (!) limited way below 100! 3) It is way more expensive, than the previous models! Jay

Limited editions are lame as fuck....

says the people who can't afford them... :p

More seriously, for some guys it's nice to think that they have a guitar that not everyone have... or when you're into collecting guitars.

If you want something no one else has, get a custom shop guitar. Cost less in this case

Plus, Kirk was never known for playing the KH-20 (he's never played it live), and the Iron Cross people associate with James is a Gibson. He might play the ESP in the future, but there isn't anything super special about that guitar that isn't in the $2300 Truckster, except limited availability.

Exactly the way I feel. If ESP was going to do $10K Hammett and Hetfield Sigs. why not do something special and worthy of the pricetag. The KH-20 is pretty much just a KH-2 with a flame top and the Hetfield Iron Cross is a clone of his Gibson he has been playing for 6-7 years now.

Of course James is going to play his ESP Iron Cross now but only because ESP is making it into a expensive Sig. Otherwise he wouldn't even have a Iron Cross ESP.

If ESP had never made a KH-2, I could see them charging a ridiculous price (especially around 93-95) for the KH-2 "Vintage". Being the exact guitar Kirk made famous, and one he uses all the time. At the same time, they could have done a JH explorer w/ Black Album snakes for a similar price, though the one I saw more often was with just dots.

As it stands (and I've said it before), the guitar I associate most as a James Hetfield sig is my MX-II, and I own two true ESP JH sigs.

All of what you say i agree with ....but...........i still want one lol

same here...
I agree with all the above comments but nevertheless... I just want this guitar. Plus I'm still waiting for the official annoucement regarding the price.

Mr.Dahl

Who the fuck cares about sig. guitars? I'm not gonna buy the shit.. Waste of many? Oh yeah!

The KH-20 was incredible when seen in person. Just from the clear over the neck, the inlays, the flame etc. Unless the Het sig will be as good or "wowing" in person........I don't see it being a huge deal or a collectors piece in this economy. I was lucky back when I got a Kh-20 and made 2K off it after two months of owning it. I am sure these will sell out regardless. I highly doubt I am getting one, but you know me. LOL But right now I am just for the first time real content with what I have, but will be unloading the NV-STD and Purple eclipse soon. I just keep using and gravitating to the same 4 guitars when we gig, rehearse and I record. I am sure I will check it out at my local shop and maybe even take close up pix for the board.

this is fucking retarded, nobody associates james hetfield with a gay gibson pinstripe lp that he started playing after st anger came out. release a hetfield limited explorer with the same fretboard\inlay material as the kh20 but with the barbed wire and then do the burnt elk wood body and we'll talk.

sorry i get a little upset
