Eagle-eyed Metallica fans might have noticed James Hetfield toting a none-more-metal Flying V-style guitar at recent live shows. Thanks to some highly knowledgeable guitar sleuths, we can reveal what it is.

“Maintain a consistently optimal neck setup, playability, and string action, regardless of changing environmental conditions”: Has Furch just made acoustic guitar setups a thing of the past with its new CNR System Active neck?
