The Collection: Kirk Hammett, Custom Edition

The deepest-ever dive into Kirk Hammett’s guitar collection

Gibson Publishing has partnered with iconic Metallica guitarist and Gibson signature artist Kirk Hammett on The Collection: Kirk Hammett, a luxury 400-page coffee table book, which explores in unprecedented detail the extraordinary guitar collection and life in music of one of heavy metal’s true pioneers. Shot on location in Hawaii and Los Angeles by legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin and also incorporating rare imagery from Halfin’s archive, this latest release from Gibson Publishing features exclusive new interviews with Hammett conducted by Gibson Editor-in-Chief Chris Vinnicombe and Director of Brand Experience Mark Agnesi.

Written and edited by Chris Vinnicombe and designed by acclaimed graphic designer Tom Jermann, The Collection: Kirk Hammett takes the deepest-ever dive into the Metallica star’s eclectic guitar collection, documenting the instruments he has leaned on throughout his career, from his early days with Bay Area thrash trailblazers Exodus to selling over 125 million albums worldwide with Metallica and rocking out on the world’s biggest stages. Guitars under the microscope include Hammett’s storied 1979 Gibson Flying V™ and Greeny, the legendary 1959 Gibson Les Paul™ Standard formerly owned by Peter Green and Gary Moore.

“It’s so special,” Kirk says of Greeny. “I don’t really feel like it’s mine, I feel like I’m the caretaker. I feel so fortunate that I got that guitar. It’s changed my guitar style, it’s opened up my ears. It allows me to feel everything that much deeper. I get emotional about it because I feel like I have such a connection to it.”

A must-have for fans of Kirk Hammett and Metallica and anyone with an interest in fine guitars, The Collection: Kirk Hammett is available to purchase via Gibson.com and Gibson Garage locations in three premium formats: strictly limited signed and numbered Custom and Deluxe Editions, and Standard hardcover.

The Collection: Kirk Hammett, Custom Edition is limited to just 300 numbered copies signed by Kirk Hammett and comes in a huge 19 x 14.5” (490 x 370mm) presentation box featuring custom artwork and an outstanding case candy package. In addition to the large-format 17 x 12” (432 x 310mm) hardcover version of the book with a special lenticular cover, the boxset includes a frameable 16 x 11.6” (407 x 295mm) art print of a Ross Halfin portrait of Kirk Hammett signed by both Halfin and the Metallica guitarist. Other case candy includes an Axe Heaven® miniature replica of Hammett’s 1979 Gibson Flying V with case and stand, an exclusive pick tin complete with six Dunlop® Kirk Hammett signature Jazz III guitar picks, and a Gibson Publishing Certificate of Authenticity.

Must-Own for True Batman Fans
Format: Paperback
I own and have read all 3 volumes of these Batman: Black and White books. They're all good, and in order of volume, so Volume #1 is the best, by far. What makes them great (and I'm mostly referring to volume one, although these can apply to all volumes): - Large collection of unique stories, and the stories are short - about 8 pages, I think. So I made a habit of reading just one or a few stories at the end of each night, for example. There's 20 different stories! So if you're a big Bat-Fan like me, you're bound to like most. - A different writer and artist for each story. So, some of the stories you'll love, and some you might hate. But for the most part, I liked a large percentage of them. And when they're good, they're REALLY GOOD! And sometimes, if the story isn't that great, the artwork might make up for it (or vice versa). - The artwork! Again, a large percentage of the stories really do have fantastic art. It's a real treat turn the page and read an entirely different story with a completely different (artistic) take on Batman. Plain and simple, every huge Batman fan should own all of these books. Start with this volume.

Short Story Collection
Format: Paperback
This wasn't quite what I expected. It's a random selection of writers and illustrators all doing short stories that are just a few pages long. It gives you a deep appreciation for some of the talent many of these guys have and gives you many different perspectives on batman. Having said that, I have to be honest. Some of the illustrations were sub-par and some of the stories mediocre. A couple of the stories left me wondering if some of these guys had written batman anything before and others whether they were able to earn a living with their drawings. Despite that, there were many really good stories in here that are worth reading.

Like chocolate truffles
Format: Paperback
First off, this is a review of volume 1. I got several Batman graphic novels recently and get one out when I have a block of uninterrupted time for it. I thought that given the short-story format, that I'd leave this in the car and read one or two stories when I had a few minutes to kill. Sure - that's what I say when I get a box of candy too - just one or two at a time - make the box last for a month. LOL - I got going and finished the whole book in one sitting. The short stories are not all great, but even the weakest is worth at least three stars. Some of the others are wonderful. The most unexpected were the best: "A Black and White World" a Neil Gaiman story which features Batman and Joker in a way you've never seen them before, and "A Slaying Song Tonight" a Batman Christmas story.... who'd ever think of that? The art is varied - which is the point isn't it. Some I liked a great deal and others didn't move me, but each reader will have different tastes. I learned about some artists with which I wasn't familiar. I'm new to comics and graphic novels, so this was a great way to gain some exposure to some legends. A previous reviewer seemed to feel the black and white art limited the artists. I thought the short story format and the black and white art boiled the work down to it's most powerful essence. The stories didn't waste a word. The art didn't hide behind color. It was like each story was stripped down to the bare essentials. And no comic character is more natural for a black and white treatment than the Bat. It was like a film noir movie marathon! Volume One at the very least is a must-own part of any Batman collection. Highest recommendation!

Perfection From Start to Finish
Format: Paperback
Where do I start? Whats not to love about some the of the best writers and artists coming together in one book full of short Batman stories done in black and white? The story telling is unbelievable and the illustrations are so good you barely notice they aren't in color. This should be in every Batman fan's collection :)
