“Few guitars embody the essence of rock ‘n’ roll to such an extent as the Les Paul. Synonymous with many of the finest players throughout history, the timeless silhouette has helped shape the sound of rock’s greatest stars. While there are thousands upon thousands of exemplary models in circulation, not many have attained the notoriety of a particular 1959 Les Paul Standard dubbed “”Greeny.”” This illustrious instrument was originally owned by Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green, whose Les Paul tone throughout his tenure with the band became one of the most influential sounds of all time. Green later sold his iconic 1959 LP Standard to Thin Lizzy’s Gary Moore, who kept the guitar for three decades before it landed in the hands of Kirk Hammett from Metallica. Such a storied instrument is bound to have its charming quirks, which is why Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop teamed up to put a replica in the hands of players everywhere. The Epiphone Kirk Hammett “”Greeny”” 1959 Les Paul Standard allows every guitarist to experience the mojo of a certified classic. Gibson USA Greenybucker PickupsPeter Green’s distinctive sound owes itself to his masterful ability, as well as to some happy accidents from the Gibson factory that produced his guitar. Original Patent Applied For (PAF) humbuckers were handwound using a machine that didn’t count the windings. No two pickups were alike, and to Green’s further advantage, the neck pickup was wound in reverse polarity. At one time, doing some of his own tech work, Green removed the neck pickup in his 1959 LP Standard and accidentally reinstalled it backwards with the pole pieces facing the bridge. These factors contributed to the sound created by the middle position on Greeny’s pickup selector, which became part of his signature tone that others have sought to replicate for decades. The Epiphone Kirk Hammett Greeny LP distinguishes these hallmark features with a pair of Gibson USA Greenybuckers, complete with a reverse-mounted, reverse-polarity neck position to sound the part of an iconic guitar. Signature Greeny BurstCollectors will tell you that what separates a decent vintage Les Paul Standard from an outstanding one is the quality of the flame maple top and how well it’s faded over the years. Greeny, being its fabled self, has a gorgeous flame and a dignified faded burst finish—a testament to its stateliness. The Epiphone Kirk Hammett LP Standard comes with a maple top on a mahogany body, capped by a AAA flame maple veneer finished in a custom Greeny Burst. The guitar looks especially stylish without a pickguard, keeping in line with the authentic Greeny, and completing the characteristic image is a Gibson USA “open book” headstock. An homage to its inspiration, the Kirk Hammett Epiphone looks wise beyond its years.
