Description

The legendary tale of the guitar “Greeny” is shrouded in mystery, but few guitars have such a history! 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, the founder of Fleetwood Mac, it was used throughout his time with the band. The guitar was 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.

This exceptional guitar was inspired by Kirk’s legendary original. The guitar is built with premium components. It features a Switchcraft pickup selector and 1/4″ output jack, CTS potentiometers, Mallory capacitors, and Grover Rotomatic tuners with spade-style buttons on a Gibson-style “openbook” headstock.

Key Features

  • Gibson USA GreenyBucker Pickups – Gibson has dedicated months to reverse engineering Greeny’s original pickups to fully understand the elements behind its legendary tone. These newly crafted Greenybuckers are built to Greeny’s exact specifications, perfectly capturing the original’s magic. With a really unique sonic character they are versatile, dynamic and offer crystal clear note definition.
  • Superior Hardware – The Epiphone ABR bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece offer an authentic vintage vibe, it even features Grover Rotomatic tuners with spade buttons.
  • Premium Tonewoods – featuring a Mahogany body paired with a AAA-grade Flame Maple Veneer over a solid Maple top, creating the perfect tonewood combination. Its rich, resonant sound delivers incredible tone, while the Aged Gloss Custom Greeny Burst finish offers stunning looks with a premium feel!
