This build took 45 labor hours to complete! It is without a doubt the most labor intensive replica I've done to date. Every guitar I make, I always try to outdo myself, and this guitar shows it!

If someone showed Hetfield this guitar in person would he say: Did you just break into my home?
The guitar is actually in a museum lmao
Either in a museum or in HQ
That guitar looks absolutely like nothing James has ever played. He's never played a Gibson V that looks like that.

@@ninevoltromeo I don't know what is it supposed to prove or show? Yes, in the video you linked James is playing the exact guitar I mentioned and which was recreated here: Hetfield's Electra V which is a cheap Gibson Flying V copy. Yes, it has an Gibson truss rod cover- the information about James having bought it from a guy who attached a Gibson truss rod to his copy is also mentioned- the truss rod/Gibson logo who had many people confused as to the real maker of the guitar.
PS I am sorry if I wrongly thought you were coming at me being like 'LOOK, IT'S CLEARLY A GIBSON!' if that wasn't your intention and you were sort of confirming my point- it's just that people often do that when they provide absolutely no context at all ;)
When the world needed him most, he returned
*NO*
Hey John Lemon!
I thought you died man
But he left again :(
And then in the same way he returned, he vanished
Finally he's remember his password
Lmao
Lol 🤣
Jajajaja
just remembered my hotmail password from the email account i made 2013. i am the guy who wasn't online for 3000+ days on xbox360 because of that.
It probably took him a long time to acquire the parts, put it together, edit the video, and a lot of other things I’m probably leaving out. I am sorry for ruining your “joke” but you have to take this into consideration
This is the guy you need to call if your are going to direct a Biopic about musicians and you want every instrument to be accurate.
Have you seen the modern biopic? They don't care to get the story correct, much less the instruments...would probably have James play a Les Paul...
He has returned, I repeat, he has returned
You were saying?
Am I the only one that want to see The Dean From Hell?
No, you’re not, that would be awesome
Yesssssss!
Same!!!!!!
That is blasphemy! Theres only 1 Dean from HELL and all others are never to be compared.
Absolutely not the only one
I love how you added Kill 'Em All tracks in the background
Whilst constructing a replica of James' weapon of thrash destruction
I’m curious to see how he’ll fair with a replica of Cliff Burton’s Rickenbacker
Couldn’t be in a monetized video because the CEO of rickenbacker literally spends his days scouring the internet looking for places to send lawsuit threats. I’m surprised he hasn’t sent one to Thomman music in Germany yet
@@Louzahsol Oh, well that sucks. Nevermind then.
@@damageinc.9876 yeah he’s kinda a dick.
Do it!!!!
@@Louzahsol Yeah, kinda a dick man, i mean, WHY ? Come on, let people make the bass
good lordddd, the attention to detail of the relicing
That tone on Seek & Destroy is absolutely spot on. Awesome job with the guitar btw
YYEEEEHH, YEEEAAAAHH, OOOHHHH YEEE-EAAAH. Absolutely fantastic work my man, glad to see you with another project. Would love to see a Dean from Hell, what do you think?
In it's current state, that would no doubt be the hardest project he has ever done
@@logansweeney3304 I know right?! He’d have to walk up to a dean ml 79 and snap the neck at the headstock and snap that fucker like 29 times over and glue it back into place over and over again.
@@deadinsidemcgee411 Grady even said himself that thing snapped easily over a dozen times. Also the thumb spot on the back of the neck would be a pain in the ass to replicate

My man is an artist. Watching you play Metallica at the end, it's like James overtook your body. You had his posture, looked like his picking hand. Damn.
The picking hand is actually a little different. James is a little unorthodox because he holds the pick with an extra finger for support. Still this guy is a virtuoso no doubt
Just when we needed him most
Dave Ellefson’s BC Rich Mockingbird with the bomber themed paint job would be absolutely badass to see.
I was a fan since "Kill 'Em All". I lived in Germany when it came out and they were WAY bigger in Europe before they were in America. I got to see them at shows and talk to them. I asked one of their crew about James' "Gibson" Flying V and the tech dude said, "That's NOT a Gibson!"
then which brand is it?
@@andersfrederiksen7202 It's an off brand. That was never discolsed. It's probably some Japanese copy. James got a Gibson truss rod cover to put over it.
@@jezmez68 it was an electra flying wedge 2236
This dude legit downloaded a guitar. He pirated the real thing LOL
I was 15 when I saw James Hetfield on a photo with this guitar. Kirk had the black/white version. I totally felt in love with these guitars. Perhaps the most exciting guitars I’ve ever seen
I still remember listening to Kill'em All for the first time, As an 11 yr old it blew me away!
He should make a Dave mustaine Jackson kv replica
Yessss
It cracks me up how they used James Hetfield actual voice from the Kill ‘Em All record, obviously James Hetfield is one of those main guitarists in heavy-metal history that use the Flying V for a little while of his career before switching over to the 1984 Gibson Explorer where his iconic look took shape, but thank you for actually telling the world that he actually played a flying V in his early years of Metallica especially through the Kill ‘Em All to the Ride The Lightning years of Metallica, even though he didn’t exactly have the Gibson Flying V, Electra guitars created an exact replica with their specs
Thats cool! Id love to see you give rory Gallaghers strat a go
That would be awesome
Gotta use a buffing wheel made of blue jeans because the back is stained blue from them
@@Louzahsol his sweat made the blue stay. That's so Cool
@@mikefloyd3152 yup, last I heard, joe bonamassa owns that strat. If you think that one is cool you should see Isaiah Mitchell’s strat from earthless
@@Louzahsol he doesnt rorys brother has it he lends it out to other musicians wich i think is great as its definitely no case queen
This is the most impressive thing I've ever seen in my life! This was such a bad ass video to watch.
Wow, the amount of perfection to make something imperfect is astounding....then to hear it ...perfection.... outstanding work and video
Return of the King
You Should Make Angus Young's 1970/71 Walnut SG With the built in Schaffer Vega Diversity System! Rock On!
A really cool build, and a LOT of work but....
Sure would love to see this guitar with it's original pickups. Hetfield never put EMG's into his Electra V until probably '86 or '87 at the earliest. It was left at home for the Puppets tour where he switched to EMG's.
I agree that I'd like it more with the original pickups, but he did say that he made it look exactly as it *currently* looks.
True, but this is based off the guitar as of right now
I think he had a Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge at some point? I've just put Invaders in one of my guitars, sound amazing.
@@aynakotalagayeah invader in the bridge iirc it was a sentient in the neck.
The vintage original at one point also had Seymour Duncan Invaders before EMG
They were, but he was replicating the current state of it, which is with EMGs.
Yes!
@@doltoncaravantes2714 then it shouldnt say James' V from the KEA era.
@@bobabooey4537 How do you know when James recorded KEA it didn't already have the EMG's?
@@moderusprime Because it didn't.
Make the Dimebag Darrell guitar pls
There's already way too many DIMEBAG guitars floating around for no good reason.they suck.
MCG and Pilky27 coming back when we needed them the most
Its good to see you're still active man! You were such a huge inspiration for me to start modding and customizing my guitars a few years back, I've applied many of your techniques with decent outcome, and had a lot of fun while doing it. Keep up the amazing work!
I love James’ voice on kill em’ all.
Top
Just love these videos so much - hoping there’s more yet to come!
Randy Rhoad's Concorde!
I second to that
Me too
This is a Hell of a work... I can't even replace my pickups!
The attention to detail is whole another level!
Extremely satisfying to watch. The attention to detail is phenomenal. Great stuff brother!
The return of the King.
Please do Johnny Thunders's Gibson Junior Double Cut or Dimebag Darrell's Dean From Hell! :)
i feel like christmass every time this guy uploads a new one, like a rare shooting star we all should make a wish for more videos.
I love hearing those classics while enjoying the video!
That's so rad man! I'm pretty sure James still uses his original flying V when he's working on riffs? i think I've seen a video on youtube of him using it when they were making the Hardwired album? correct me if i'm wrong.
Usually they end with whiplash or hit the lights and they both play their v's
Yes James still uses the original Flying V. That and the EET FUK Explorer were used on Death Magnetic & Hardwired.
The original was a fake Gibson some one sold to him when he was young. I believe Gibson made him a real Gibson replica and thats the one he uses.
Yes he uses the v on some last songs in the end of some live songs !
Would be cool to see Jeff Hanneman's Jackson Soloist with all the punk rock & Raiders stickers that he played in the late 80's/early 90's. Amazing attention to detail, well done
😂who!
Unbelievable labour of love .. very well done for putting the time and skill into this guitar came out fantastic ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely amazing!! Such an epic piece!!
That is incredible! I can’t imagine the price tag on that custom V!
I'm James Hetfield, and I approve this build. 🤘
Nice try there, Dave!
@@jugularmusic lol, I'll always be Metallica's best lead guitar player!
Thanks James, I needed that approval, if not I'm sad but true........
@@zepp3lin After all, I wrote my best music on that V 😂
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games And, you're another left wing mouth breathing lunatic goon that can't keep politics out of fun and music. 😢
Absolutely beautiful
You are a craftsman. I love your work and the sound tracks are just as badass. Thanks. Peace be upon Grinch!
I don't know what I'm more impressed with the guitar or the quality of this video, great fucking job sir. I grew up listening to Metallica and saw them live many times, the first being 1984 in Oakland California. You nailed that guitar 100%.
This could totally be used in a Metallica biopic!
Incredible Work, this Flying V looks amazing!
Absolutely stunning.
Damn good job man! I'm more of an "EET FUK" kinda guy myself. Probably my holy grail of guitars.
Maybe if you got to hang out with James he might let you play it. LoL
@@herrcobra4144 my head would explode just by meeting the guy, let alone being able to play that guitar. 🤯
Cheers! 🤘
@@Jeffmetal42 He does seem like a cool enough guy that he would actually let somebody play one of those guitars.
damn that's a sweet flying V also welcome back to making videos
Rock On! Very Happy That You're Back!!!!!!
WOW!!! Amazing job!!!
It won't be much of a challenge, but I'd love to see a Tom DeLonge Stratocaster replica on this channel.
I'd love to hear it with some Seymour Duncan Invaders like in KEA
the "YEAH" at the start scared the shit out of me😂
That's a crazy amount of work!!! Amazing.
George Lynch’s original mr scary. (used in Dokken’s “Alone Again” video.)
I would love to see you make a build of Gary Holt’s Jeff Hanneman tribute Flying V.
Speaking of Hanneman, how about the famous Soloist? Make it a 2 for 1.
Absolutely Beautiful craftsmanship 👍
This dude is the replica man to go to. Awesome. It’s art, I could decorate my man cave with a couple or six replicas that function.
Nice too see you f*ckin' again! I love your work. What about an Albert King's "Lucy" replica? It could be so damn beautiful. Cheers from Argentina!
Gee, when you said Lucy, I thought of Eric Clapton/George Harrison's Les Paul, also called "Lucy"!
@@andriealinsangao613 everybody had a "Lucy". My Lucy was a Sg, but anyway...🤷🏻♂️
@@jimboanderson Damn, I'm jealous!
Here to express more interest to see an albert king V relic guitar video.
speechless.......so what would something like this cost?
I would choose legs cause you can't play with one arm 😁
LOL
Yes
Well, not counting paint, hardware and body is pretty cheap. Emgs are can be $100 brand new, tuners, bridges, etc aren’t very expensive. I would say to build it yourself, $400-$500
And you could save money and buy used hardware
Oooo looked so good! Well done.
Yes... YESSSSSSSSS
Great build! can't wait to see what's up next!
This fuckin rocks! Your relicing is insane! I'd love to see your take on the Eet Fuk explorer
Only problem is that an ESP MX220 would be hard to come by.
Yo try making a replica of Kirk Hammet's Wavecaster! You know, the one with all the blue goo in it!
Awesome!
Recreating a piece of history right there!
It looks the part, it sounds the part too!
Genius. I love it.
Love the videos and I’d love to see you do dimebags dean from hell. No custom shop can get it right, but I know you could.
i kinda wanna see his take on billie joe's strat "blue"
A work of art, fantastic !!
Work of art
Fantastic job! Didn't this guitar have open coiled passive humbuckers as opposed to EMG's?
Guitar looks bang on though
he said he replicated what the guitar is like now.
@@sonicaids ah I see, must've missed that
@@sonicaids I thought that guitar was stolen in 1985?
@@barryb90 Nah just became out of commission from all of the use, he still has it in the studio I think with eet fuk and all those guitars
Peter Green les paul 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Awesome, looking foward for the next one.
He's back! and he came with another classic!
Nice to see you're back, I've been obsessed with modifying shitplanks since I first saw "How to make a cheap guitar awesome" back when I was 15 all those years ago. You proved that it IS possible to polish a turd. My wallet wants to say "fck you" but I want to say thanks for introducing me to this world of guitar customization.
That guitar may have EMGs these days but no way it had them back in the day. EMGs came later for Hetfield.
Good ole Gibson 496r and 500t.
The EMG 85 was released in 1979. So that pickup would have been available at the time Kill 'Em All was released
Pretty sure EMG’s we’re around in 79-80. I remember when they came out. They weren’t quick connect back in the day though.
James did put the EMG pickups in it so he is replicating the guitar as it is now.
Wow!! awsome job!!!!
This is a magnificent piece of craftsmanship!🤘🤯😮💀
It’d be cool to see an artist get to hold both the original and the replica and see if they know which is the original!
I mean if you actually broke the headstock in the beginning it would be even more accurate lol
But the break and subsequent repair wouldn't be the same.
@@herrcobra4144 yea just more of a passing joke.
Excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching your videos make me wanna build my own. Keep up the awesome work!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸
LOVE the "Fake break"!! Incredible detail!!
Loved this, that attention to detail is insane. Great work!
Now this is what I call artistry! Hats off!!!
You are a bad dude ! That is awesome it really looks identical ! Good job man
My God the detail is insane. Amazing work
Definitely one of my new favorites
I’ve waited for this for years, thank you!
This is Crazy!!! It came out Perfect!!! James would be proud!!!
Yeah, man, dude should give it to James himself!
That's one iconic guitar right there. Great work!
This guitar looks amazing!
So slad to see these again. You do cush awesome work!
Mad props this is amazing!
