Kirk Hammett has been ripping
up solos for Metallica for over 30 years. Riffs on Ride the Lighting,
Master of Puppets, and the Black Album are a must learn for all rock
guitarists. For Kirk, his tone starts with EMG pickups. “Metallica’s
crunch sound is often cleaner than people expect”, says Kirk. “My
taste in tone has definitely changed over the years. I don’t like to
use as much distortion these days—I prefer my tone to be nice and
crisp”.
The Kirk Hammett Bone Breaker
set is the result of taking the success of Metallica tone and adding
some new elements without sacrificing gain for clean or vice-versa. By
making slight pre-amp adjustments and combining Alnico 5 and Ceramic
magnets the perfect tone-beast was created. The Bone Breaker set
consist of the BB-B Ceramic bridge and the BB-N Alnico 5 neck pickups.
If you are looking for rhythm or lead tone, the Kirk Hammett Bone
Breaker set offers crisp crushing leads or smooth rounded rhythm tone
at the flip of the selector switch.
