Introducing the Epiphone Kirk Hammett "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard, a guitar steeped in legendary history and sonic character. Inspired by the iconic "Greeny," originally owned by Peter Green and later by Gary Moore, this guitar embodies decades of musical heritage. Kirk Hammett's collaboration with Epiphone and Gibson Custom Shop brings forth a masterpiece that resonates with the spirit of its legendary predecessors.
Sound and Feel: Imagine the soulful blues tones of Peter Green mixed with the searing rock solos of Gary Moore—all captured in the Epiphone "Greeny." The Gibson USA Greenybucker pickups, featuring a reversed magnetic polarity on the neck pickup, deliver a rich, versatile sound palette. From smooth, creamy blues to aggressive rock crunch, this guitar adapts to your every playing nuance with clarity and depth.
Design and Construction: Crafted to exacting standards, the "Greeny" Les Paul boasts a mahogany body with a stunning AAA flame maple veneer top, finished in an aged gloss that enhances its vintage appeal. The custom Greeny profile neck, made from a single piece of mahogany, offers exceptional sustain and playability. Its Indian laurel fingerboard hosts elegant mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, complemented by a vintage-style brown and pink hardshell case for secure storage and transport.
