Publisher Description James Hetfield shares his personal collection of treasured guitars and reveals the story and significance of each within his life and career as the front man, guitarist, and songwriter for Metallica. "From penning influential albums Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning on his original white OGV to resolutely reflecting on his harrowing pyrotechnics accident that left handprints burned into his double-neck Montreal, Hetfield masterfully chronicles over forty different guitars and the respective gear from Metallicas forty-year history and all of the memories, mishaps, and eccentricities that come with them. The end result, to put it simply, rocks." —Entertainment WeeklyFrom the Electra OGV that defined his style, sound and attitude to the mythical MX guitars, the first in a series of iconic collaborations with ESP, and from his signature Snakebytes through his ambitious projects with renowned luthier Ken Lawrence, James Hetfield shares the emotional and technical elements of the chosen tools that have shaped his singular musical journey, including exotic instruments, vintage Gibsons, and custom one-offs. He also reveals many studio secrets, including the key amplifiers and gear that sculpt his tone and create his sound. Each featured guitar is accompanied by lush museum-quality portraits by acclaimed photographer Scott Williamson, exhibiting intimate details one can only see if holding it in their own hands, alongside Hetfields deeply personal reminiscence. Spanning more than forty guitars, ranging from the original battle-scarred road warriors to the trusted studio stalwarts and enduring tour favorites, Messengers: The Guitars of James Hetfield is a meticulously crafted coffee table book and a mesmerizing window into the mind and soul of one of rocks greatest front men. These invaluable guitars have forged over four decades of music history."Detailed photographs reveal every nick, scuff, and personalized customization of this fascinating stockpile, while Hetfield provides an entertaining, precise explanation of the merits and pitfalls of each guitar. Along the way, he regales readers with anecdotes amassed over the last forty-two years… Every Flying V, Explorer, and Les Paul in Hetfields collection is a messenger of metal and tells the beguiling stories behind the riffage too." —Library Journal Details ISBN-13 9798888450642 Title Messengers Author James Hetfield Format Hardcover Year 2023 Pages 400 Publisher Permuted Press GE_Item_ID:157408028; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
