Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard Greeny Burst
Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard Greeny Burst - A Tribute to a Legendary Guitar
Gibson is pleased to announce the launch of the CORE Kirk Hammett Greeny Les Paul Standard. This is a core model, launching with 500 units globally.
The Legendary Story of "Greeny"
The story of Greeny is shrouded in mystery, but few guitars are as illustrious. Greeny is one of the most iconic original Les Paul Standards ever made, with a unique sound as recognizable as the guitar itself. Previously 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 partly from the out-of-phase middle switch position due to the neck pickup's reversed magnetic polarity.
A Tribute to an Icon
The Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard was inspired by this legendary guitar and gives players around the world the opportunity to experience some of the magic of "Greeny" for themselves. An Original Series hardshell case is included to protect this cherished instrument.
