If youbare a fan of merallica or james hetfield, this is the perfect book for you !

Nice edition but it went damaged.

Libro bello

As soon as I saw the Mighty Hetfield himself do an unboxing of this book on YouTube,I knew I had to have it,it looked so cool. Well delivered by Amazon for a start, well packaged and secure and delivered in a timely manner The book itself hasn't disappointed. Sumptuous and highly detailed photos of James's guitars; marks, battle scars and custom engravings and stories of how each instrument was obtained, conceptualised and built are really interesting and often very humorous The story of the Kill Bon Jovi guitar in particular made me chuckle Nice to hear inputs too from craftsmen and artists, luthiers- especially Ken Lawrence- and the technicians on Metallicas staff. Along with Hetfields own philosophies and his reflections of a life time spent in music Pricey,yes indeed,but most definitely worth it Speaking as a huge metal and rock fan and a guitarist and a lifelong Metallica fan; highly recommended

Livro sensacional!

For those of us that spent many years scouring the internet for any new pic of James' rig, for any new piece of info about his settings and his amps.......this is the book we've always wanted. Where Papa Het used to be extremely secretive about his rig, now he's literally an open book. 400 pages of high quality images of his most famous and prized guitars close up and from different angles, in depth personal commentary on each guitar from Het himself as well the artists and luthiers (such as Kenneth Lawrence) involved in their creation. he also goes deep into his amps at the back of the book. It's obvious James was intimately involved with this book in every way. It's an art book at the end of the day. Trust me, if you're Hetfield fan and were ever obsessed with his gear.......just drop the $80 and get it. It's everything you ever wanted.
