Sonically tweaked Les Paul Standard based on the Peter Green model owned by Kirk Hammett.
The Gibson "Greeny" is one of the most iconic Les Paul Standards ever made, with as unique a sound as recognizable as the guitar itself. Previously owned by Peter Green, it was used throughout his time in Fleetwood Mac and later sold to Gary Moore, who used it for three decades in 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 reverse magnetic polarity. 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.
