The guitar is based on his customised 1973 ‘Iron Cross’ Gibson Les Paul. It will be officially unveiled at Winter NAMM 2009. I wish Gibson would replicate this great piece of guitar. But rumours was Gibson was unwilling to make a signature model for Hetfield. What a bad move if thats true, cause they could also make a replica of his old V's and Explorer signature.
I love to grab one if i could. Go to esp.com for more info.
