History: How did we get it ?

Back in June 2022 when Metallica played at the danish festival Copenhell, Kirk Hammett visited our store and we had a great talk about vintage guitars. He is such a nice and sympathetic person and we are also happy to have sold him a fine vintage guitar.

Here’s a live video of Kirk Hammett playing his 1959 Black Stratocaster  for “Nothing Else Matters
