Gibson Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard Greeny Burst

Gibson Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard Greeny Burst
Serial Number: 218260223
Weight: 9.14 lbs.

The Gibson Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard in Greeny Burst recreates the most storied Les Paul in rock history. The original passed from Peter Green to Gary Moore to Kirk Hammett — three players, three eras, one guitar. Gibson's tribute is built on the Les Paul Standard foundation: a solid mahogany body, an AAA figured maple top, and satin nitrocellulose lacquer in the Greeny Burst finish. Single-ply cream binding frames the top, and the satin black headstock with black truss rod cover keeps the look faithful. This one weighs 9.14 lbs.

The mahogany neck is carved to Gibson's 50s Vintage profile (.880" at the 1st fret, .990" at the 12th) — full in the hand without being a club. Set-neck construction and a satin nitro finish, with an Indian rosewood fretboard, cream binding, and acrylic trapezoid inlays. 12" radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, 24.75" scale length, and a 1.695" Graph Tech nut. Hardware is nickel throughout: an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and vintage Grover Rotomatics with contemporary buttons. No pickguard. The aluminum tailpiece is the detail worth noting — lighter than a standard stop bar, and the top rings more freely for it.

The voice comes from the Greenybucker pickups. The neck unit is reverse-mounted with reversed magnetic polarity, which is exactly what gave the original its out-of-phase middle position — that hollow, vocal honk no other Les Paul makes. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors round it out: two volumes, two tones, and a 3-way toggle, with a tone taper that rolls off smoothly instead of dropping out. Whether you're a blues player chasing Peter Green's phrasing, a rock guitarist after Gary Moore's sustain, or a collector who wants a piece of the most famous Les Paul ever built, this one earns its place. This Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard (Serial #218260223) includes a Gibson hardshell case. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Gibson dealer.
