Wow, this is a dream come true for just about any Slayer fan (given the horrible circumstances). You can now own one of the late, great Jeff Hanneman's guitars that used throughout the years! These guitars come in the cases they were in at his home, and whatever else was in the case is also yours. According to ESP, a significant portion of the proceeds from these sales will go to a cause that Hanneman firmly believed in- The Wounded Warrior Project.
Bid on the guitars right here! Here's what ESP had to say about the auction.
Each guitar is being offered in its original case from Hanneman’s personal collection, and the cases also include anything that was found inside, which range from an effects pedal to straps, cables, and strings that belonged to Hanneman. Additionally, each guitar will include a certificate of authenticity from the Hanneman Estate.
The custom guitars available for auction include the ESP Custom Shop Jeff Hanneman “Raiders”, the ESP Custom Shop Jeff Hanneman “Killer”, a B.C. Rich Jeff Hanneman ST3 Custom, and an ESP Jeff Hanneman USA Custom Shop guitar. On several of the models, Hanneman applied his own stickers and graphic treatments. The auctions are hosted via eBay, and links to each auction page are available from the ESP site at espguitars.com.
Here's hoping these guitars go to good homes.
