Ex-Metallica Bassist Ron McGovney: “The guy that bought this guitar got ripped off” – Rare James Hetfield Guitar, Not So Rare After All – 2022 – VIDEO

Ron McGovney: The guy that bought this guitar got ripped off. Sorry dude. Fake story.

Start the video around the 7:45 mark.

And who sold it to the guy in the video? The seller said he tried out for Metallica in 1981. I would have been there. I don't remember that Flying V at my house ever.

I'm not sure, but here's a pic of James playing the flying V. You can clearly see that it's not the same guitar. Also, obviously not from the beginning of the band because Cliff is in the picture. My guess is that this is from the "Kill em All for one tour pic.twitter.com/q47Yu7qRBW

The fake guitar is on the left, Lars is holding the real guitar. Look at the difference in the volume knobs on both guitars.. pic.twitter.com/f8qVXR6Ar8
