Kirk Hammett "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard Greeny Burst
The story of the "Greeny" is shrouded in mystery, but few guitars are as famous. The Greeny is one of the most iconic original Les Paul standards ever made, with a unique sound as recognizable as the guitar itself. Formerly owned by Peter Green, it was used throughout his time with Fleetwood Mac and later sold to Gary Moore, who used it for three decades with Thin Lizzy and as a solo artist. Now owned by Kirk Hammett, Greeny has passed through the hands of three legendary guitarists. Its distinctive sound is partially from the phased center switch position due to the reverse magnetic polarity of the neck pickup.
Epiphone The Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard is a collaboration between Epiphone and Gibson Custom Shop. Inspired by Kirk's legendary original, this one-of-a-kind guitar allows players around the world to experience
some of the magic of the "Greeny" for themselves. It features premium components, including Gibson USA Greenybucker pickups with reverse mounted neck pickup and complete with a reverse polarity magnet, a Switchcraft® pickup selector and 1/4" output jack, CTS®
potentiometers, Mallory capacitors and Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with spade-style knobs on a Gibson-style "open book" headstock. Also included is a vintage-style brown and pink hardshell case.
