Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard Greeny Burst
The Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard is a tribute to one of the most storied guitars in rock history. Passed down through three legendary guitarists—Peter Green, Gary Moore, and now Kirk Hammett—this instrument has carved its legacy in music history. Its defining tonal feature, an out-of-phase middle position caused by the neck pickup’s reversed magnetic polarity, creates a unique and instantly recognizable sound. Artfully aged by the Murphy Lab to replicate the wear and character of the original, this Greeny Burst reissue captures the spirit of its celebrated predecessor in every detail.
Crafted with an Indian rosewood fretboard, this Custom Shop masterpiece delivers the premium playability and tonal richness expected of a vintage Les Paul Standard. From the classic mahogany body with a figured maple top to the meticulous hand-aging, every element embodies Gibson's pinnacle craftsmanship. Complete with a brown/pink Lifton™ reissue 5-latch case, this guitar is both a playable work of art and a nod to an unparalleled legacy.
