B.C. Rich - Kerry King Signature 7 Warlock Guitar
"Kerry King has earned his reputation as one of Thrash Metal’s premier guitarists by consistently delivering crushing riffs, ripping tones and live performances with the ruthless precision of a Panzer tank division. Just as consistent is King’s stated preference for B.C. Rich guitars, which have fueled his sonic fire for years.
B.C. Rich works closely with Kerry to offer a selection of "Kerry King Approved" guitars that meet both his demanding expectations and ours."

ESP - Metallica
The legendary guitarists of METALLICA, Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield, have worked with ESP Guitars to create their newest additions to the ESP and LTD Signature Series. The ESP KH-2 Ouija and LTD KH-Ouija are the latest models from Hammett
the new James Hetfield model is the ESP Iron Cross. ”"As most METALLICA fans know, the original Ouija model was a custom created for Kirk, and only a handful were made," says Matt Masciandaro, ESP President. "Not only are we bringing back the Ouija for the first time in more than a decade, but we're offering it in a white finish for the first time ever. For the Iron Cross we're offering the guitar that James has been using for much of METALLICA's 'Death Magnetic'world tour Available in limited quantities, the new Ouija model remains true to the original, with a neck-thru-body 25.5" scale design, alder body, maple neck, 24XJ frets, Gotoh tuners, an original Floyd Rose bridge, EMG 81 (B) / 60 (N) active pickups, and is available in both black and white finishes. Upgrades to the original model include mirror inlays and an ebony fingerboard.The LTD KH-Ouija offers similar features to the ESP version, substituting a 1000-Series Floyd Rose bridge, ESP tuners, and a rosewood fingerboard (and is only available in black).
The ESP James Hetfield Signature Iron Cross is currently featured on METALLICA's "Death Magnetic" world tour. Painstaking effort has gone into recreating every nuance of James' original guitar, while adding some new appointments to make it a truly unique signature ESP. Features include a set-neck, 24.75" scale, mahogany body with maple cap, mahogany neck, 22 XJ EVO "Gold" Ni- Free alloy frets, distressed gold hardware that includes Sperzel locking tuners, Schaller straplocks, Tonepros Locking bridge and tailpiece, and special EMG 81 (B) / 60 (N) active pickups with distressed gold covers. The guitar's finish is a highly distressed black with a gold racing stripe and a metal iron cross on the body top.

Ibanez RG Series
The Ibanez RG series has the maximum subtypes of guitars under the Ibanez Electric Guitar catalog and a popular series of Ibanez electric guitars produced by Hoshino Gakki. The Ibanez RG was originally designed as a derivative of Steve Vai's JEM\Universe series and released in 1987. Manufacture of the RG model continues through today. The RG series are among the most popular hard rock and metal guitars ever made.
The RG series was first introduced in 1987 as a derivative to the Ibanez JEM and
Universe series by Steve Vai, contrary to the more popular opinion that Rocky George, former lead guitarist for the California based hardcore punk/thrash metal outfit Suicidal Tendencies and current lead guitarist for Fishbone was its designer (Rocky however was one of the first famous users of the RG model). This was believed because Rocky's initials are the same as the model. The RG in the Ibanez RG name does not mean Rocky George, in reality they mean Roadstar Guitar, although these instruments differ significantly from the original Roadstar II series, introduced in the early 1980s. All of the RG550s, 560s, 565s, 570s, 670s 750s, 760s and 770s have a version of the Ibanez Edge tremolo, be it Original or Lo-Pro. The Edge tremolo incorporated several manufacturing changes when compared to the original Floyd Rose, including increased mass, relocated fine tuners and improved locking posts. The Locking Posts are no longer used as of the 2003 model year along with the introduction of the Edge Pro. The RG Series features a thin neck - The Wizard Prestige and Wizard II necks are the thinnest and flattest necks ever made on guitars - with a wide, almost flat, double octave (24 fret) fret board, facilitating the performance of chords and solos. The body of the RG Series features sleek, offset pointed double cutaways giving better access to the upper frets. Typically the body is made of Mahogany or Basswood with the exception of the RGT220A, where the body is made of swamp ash. As of 2008 though, select J Custom RGs are made out of Alder as well as Basswood and Mahogany. The fretboard is made of Rosewood with the exception of the RG350MDX, the RG550MXXDY/RF and the RG270 (Can be seen in the catalog section of IbanezRules.com in the 1996 catalog ),where the fretboard is made of maple. The pickups are usually configured as HSH or HH. There are Japan-Custom IBZ, USA-Custom IBZ, Infinity, Powersound, Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, Acis, LoZ or EMG pickups in the RG Tremolo and Fixed series. The Prestige series typically comes equipped with either the USA and Japan IBZ series, IBZ DiMarzio pickups, DiMarzio pickups in different configurations (most often theToneZone and Air Norton), active EMGs in several configurations, and one model comes equipped with Non-OEM Seymour Duncans. Almost all guitars in the series have some variations of a Floyd Rose-style tremolo except for the RG Fixed and the RGA Prestige series, which have fixed bridges.RG's are famous for being the basis of particularly easy to play seven string guitars, and as of 2007, Ibanez produced its first commercially available 8 string guitar, the RG2228.
