Kirk Hammett joins to talk about his brand new book with Gibson Publishing, The Collection: Kirk Hammett, and dives into a series of stories about the guitars within its pages. From Flying Vs to Les Pauls—with plenty of other gems in between—Kirk discusses his relationship with these instruments, what they mean to him spiritually, the influences behind some of the acquisitions, and why this book might only be a chapter in his ongoing guitar-obsessed life!
