The Metallica signature we didn't get - The Gibson Les Paul Custom Iron Cross

[@PETRAS_]

I have read years ago that James sanded the emgs he always used and fitted into an original humbuckers cover. Then years later they released the 81/60 emg gold set

[@Chillgrenade17]

As always, you make very awesome well detailed reviews! I wish Gibson would release this guitar. That would be sick

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

I am glad you enjoyed it. There is little hope left even if James joins Gibson, but who knows, life is strange these days 🤣

[@aek4018]

@@GeorgeVGuitars Great stuff, but are you sure that James used a killswitch? I think he got rid of the second tone pot, installed a regular 3-way selector, and the upper one is inactive - not a killswitch :)

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

@@aek4018 Yeah that would make sense because he is used to the lower switches on his explorers. Whichever way you wired it should be fine. Also on the white iron cross it is wired as you said ;)

Love the video! James's Gibson Iron Cross is the best IMO. I hate that it didn't work out, even after the prototype was made, due to Henry being difficult. Wish James would give Gibson another try now that Henry is gone! I turned my Gibson LP Custom into a Iron Cross version also. I just decided to not do the wear markings. I did it like the prototype James is playing at the start of the vid.

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

It would make sense with Kirk on board. Also enough time has passed. Lets hope second chances work out :>

[@williamarango5059]

This is fantastic! Really cool guitar

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

I am glad you like it :>

[@burak0641]

Hey bud! Could you tell me the name of the song playing in the background? It really reminded me of another song, and I'd like to check it further.

Now this is a Gibson I can get behind 👀👀✌✌

I really want them to make his satin purple Les Paul. That would be lit

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

Yeah it would be cool

I bought the ltd version used several years ago for $550 including case. Now theyre going for like $950 used on reverb

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

@@tatewilson7678 You are talking abou the white iron cross. I got two other videos for it ;)

[@tatewilson7678]

@@GeorgeVGuitars yes I was watching the comparison between the ESP and LTD and had this video in the queue. Guess I wasn't quick enough to write the comment before the video was over and switched to this one lol

Its not a kill switch on the axtual iron cross the standard toggle switch is deactivated the pickup toggle has been moved next to the pots Source james hetfield in his book messengers the guitars of james hetfield

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

I know, got the book ;)

[@bustercampfiresongs]

Not a fan of fake relics but it's a beautiful guitar.

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

Thats not a fake relic ;) Only the forearm area. Its a naturally aged 76

[@aneasyonesoicanremember6933]

@@GeorgeVGuitars So... It's a fake relic

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

Watch the video, that slight relic would have looked exactly like this if it was done from playing. You can't call an entire guitar faker relic because a single detail ;)

[@ultimatemetalguitartones]

How much outside reverb?

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

Find me on instagram or Facebook please. They are in my description.

[@NarfireVA]

Out of curiosity, was the finish removal from pick attack natural or was it an added relic job? The guitar is beautiful either way

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

It is added ;)

I saw it and was like "I'll have a look and tell him to look at ESP or LTD" and then I saw you have both...... 😐 Both?!?! Bruh, that's excessive!

Id never spend cash on that beaten up Aged gibson

That's ok, I did it so you don't have to ;)

[@thegoodguy44]

Why is the guitar so out of tune during the demonstrations? Can’t you tune a guitar?

[@GeorgeVGuitars]

Nah, I just use you as a tuner afterwards 😳 I'm counting on you man.
