Hetfield has so many Gibsons they still have their pricetags on.

[@keithadams812]

They don't have price tags when they make them for you for free... He doesn't pay for his Gibson's

keithadams812 I’m sure he doesn’t exclusively own his signature models. He pays for some.

[@johnthelesserofthethirdoft863]

Calm down fellas.Henke was having fun. And also, those are tags to keep them in the right case and the right section of storage.

[@SatanClaus69]

​@@cliffw1210 I think you're mistaken. That's a Gibson, clearly. He's toyed around with Gibson on making the Iron Cross signature, but never went through with it because ESP offered to make it first (and did a shit job at it). Gibson did make a prototype, as seen in this video. Notice no wear marks? Anyway, he didn't end up with Gibson making the iron cross, but he did end up with some prototypes. I have had the opportunity to speak to James about this, so my source is good.

[@SatanClaus69]

@@cliffw1210 I know that. In fact I owned the limited edition black one for a short while. What I am saying is that your info is incorrect. You are telling me, that the clearly visible Gibson Iron Corss prototype in the video is an ESP. You are talking to probably one of the biggest Hetfield fanboys on the planet.
