Jeff Hanneman

ESP has a number of Jeff Hanneman guitars available, according to their official site. The UC is one of these guitars, and Jeff says about EFC guitars, "ESP'S have always been great guitars, and they have always been good to me."

What was your first guitar?

A Les Paul. I can’t remember how old I was. I got a job and saved my money until I had $500. Two months after that, I met Kerry [King], and that’s how Slayer got started. I worked in an office building at the time, and this other band practiced in one of the rooms. After work, I’d go hang out with those guys and play, just to learn the instrument. Kerry was actually trying out for that band, but we were more in tune with one another, musically speaking, so we decided to start a group. He also played with Tom [Araya] in another band, and he knew a drummer that lived on his block. So it all just fell together.

Dead Kennedys, LA Raiders, Black Flag, Yin-Yang, Johnny Rotten Stickers, Kahler Tremolo, EMG 81/85 pickups. This guitar was a custom shop model and used as the basis for his esp signature model guitars.

Black Bich circa 1986. You can see it in Slayer - Raining Blood / Angel of Death - Ritz NY 86 on youtube.com. Unknown Specs at this time.
