That's an interesting take. I've always gone off of how a guitar sounds when plugged in, as I've noticed guitars can sound totally acoustically dead unplugged, but absolutely scream when plugged in.
What went:
Daemoness Chronicler. Love it, just tired of LP’s.
ESP Horizon SS
What came:
ESP KKV (I guess I came a few times too after I realized I scored it.)
Technically I also bought the Horizon, but it was only at home for like 2 months, so I guess it came and went.
As a 27 year old, my experience with Metallica was learning a few riffs and leads moving on. They were a small building block in my playing when I was 16 or so, and then I progressed further, given that many other bands playing was more what I was into.
I can imagine this would be radically...
