Epiphone - Kirk Hammett Greeny 1959 Les Paul Standard Greeny Burst
While the history of the “Greeny” is shrouded in mystery, few guitars can claim to be as famous. The Greeny is one of the most iconic Les Paul Standards ever made, thanks in part to its tone that is as recognizable as the guitar itself. Purchased by Peter Green, the Greeny accompanied him in Fleetwood Mac, before he sold it to Gary Moore, who used it for three decades with his hard rock band Thin Lizzy. Here is the famous model as close to reality as possible by Epiphone!
