This Kirk Hammett signature lefty is a serious contender for metal and progressive players. The EMG pickups and Floyd Rose tremolo offer a modern, aggressive sound and plenty of dive-bombing capabilities, while the comfortable neck makes it a joy to play. It's a premium-priced instrument, but delivers a lot of performance for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bone Breakers are voiced with more high-end clarity and aggression than many standard EMG models, offering a more modern, scooped sound.
Yes, the 'Extra Thin U' profile is noticeably thinner than many guitars; it’s a real highlight for fast playing, but might not suit everyone's preference.
A high-quality amp with a clean channel and a responsive overdrive section will really let the EMG pickups shine, allowing you to dial in everything from crunchy rhythm tones to searing leads.
