About:
This is a one off custom order Chechen top Ken Lawrence Explorer built to James Hetfield's original spec as used with Metallica live and in the studio from the mid 90's.
The only difference between this and the original is the
"Petroglyph" hunting scene inlay, James owns the rights to the original art work so this is as similar as legally possible.
Incredibly well built and rare instrument. Comes with certificate of authenticity.
The guitar and case are in mint condition.
Shipping prices listed are for UPS standard, unfortunately it is a large heavy guitar and case so not the cheapest. For buyers outside the UK, US or EU message me for a specific quote to your location.
