The Les Paul "Greeny
From Peter Green to Gary Moore and finally Kirk Hammett: The Les Paul "Greeny" is one of the most legendary electric guitars in music history, which with its timeless sound as well as the classic Les Paul design has enchanted music fans in various forms for decades and has already been in the hands of countless guitar greats. This version of the famous Singlecut electric guitar with inverted neck pickup is an authentic Gibson Custom Shop replica, inspired by the magic of the original and equipped with high-quality processed Gibson hardware.
Dei Gibson Kirk Hammett "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard was designed in collaboration with Metallica guitarists and the owner of the original Greeny, Kirk Hammett.
The Reliable Les Paul construction, in addition to the iconic status of this Gibson, also offers a special playing experience.
Traditional Gibson construction and features
The GibsonKirk Hammett "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard also features the Traditional Gibson construction with glued mahogany neck and body. The two-piece curly maple top allows the Greeny Burst colour in the Satin-Finish to stand out and offers a strong contrast to the dark body. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard offers Gibson-typical soft playing characteristics, with beautiful trapezeinlays and a pleasant 50s vintage neck profile.
The greenybuckers are reminiscent of the PAF pickups installed on the 1959 originals.
Greenybucker Pickups
Not only the Les Paul Greeny itself is a legend, but also the pickups installed in it, which are also configured true to the original in this model. Two Greenybucker humbuckers designed by Gibson sit in the neck and bridge positions, whereby the neck pickup is of course installed "upside down" and provides the Greeny sound with an inverted Alnico II magnet. Furthermore, the Vintage-Sound is supported by authentic hand-wired electronics with orange drop capacitors and can be adjusted with two Volume and Tone controls, as well as a 3-way switch.
