āI am thrilled to announce the launch of The Collection: Kirk Hammett. Iāve worked diligently on this curated collection of vintage and modern guitars for the book. I feel the book captures the rich history and artistry behind each of these unique and rare instruments. Every picture tells a story and thanks to Ross Halfin and his exceptional photography, every picture in this book is worth a million words! This book could not be possible without the help of Gibson, so Iād like to thank them for making my passion for Greeny, and guitars a reality. I hope all of you enjoy this journey as much as I did.ā
āItās exciting the time has come to release The Collection: Kirk Hammett by Gibson,ā adds Cesar Gueikian, President and CEO of Gibson. āWe have been working on this project with Kirk for years now, and I had the opportunity to work closely with Kirk on the composition of the collection for the book. It was a thrill to put this together and it took a village to get it done! I hope everyone appreciates the work that went into this book and enjoys every story behind the guitars.ā
