Bends are made easy, and whether you are throwing some intricate lead work and arpeggios from "One" and all the classic era albums, or pushing some serious volume through the extra hot EMG's for the crushing tone on Death Magnetic, this guitar delivers.  And of course the Floyd Rose Tremolo with locking nut and Gotoh tuners to keep the whole thing in tune, this guitar has it all.  Of course the "None More Black" motif of black body and hardware with Skull and Crossbones inlay make it clear why this is the only guitar Kirk puts his name on. See the specs below, go see Metallica on tour and decide for yourself.
