Description
The Epiphone Kirk Hammett "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard is an extraordinary guitar inspired by the legendary "Greeny" Les Paul, famously owned by Peter Green, Gary Moore, and now Metallica's Kirk Hammett. Famous for its out-of-phase middle position sound and stunning appearance, the "Greeny" Les Paul is a piece of rock 'n' roll history - and now musicians can experience its magic themselves with this phenomenal Epiphone guitar.
From the moment you uncase this Les Paul, you'll be blown away by its gorgeous AAA flame maple veneer and eye-catching Aged Gloss finish. But looks aren't all it has to offer - its maple top resonates with clarity and brightness, complementing the mahogany body's rich, punchy sound. Plus, it plays remarkably well, courtesy of its Custom Greeny neck and smooth Indian Laurel fingerboard, which provide a comfortable, vintage feel.
Powered by Gibson USA Greenybucker pickups, this guitar has an incredible range of classic, rockin' tones on tap. Individually, the humbuckers sound warm, full, and articulate, with plenty of midrange power. Engage the middle pickup position, though, and you'll experience the coveted out-of-phase "Greeny" sound that guitarists have sought for decades. Complete with 50s wiring and Mallory capacitors, the Epiphone "Greeny" Les Paul has a premium internal signal path that keeps your tone pure and pristine.
With its exceptional quality, impeccable feel, and killer sound, the Epiphone Kirk Hammett "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard is a stellar tribute to one of the most iconic guitars in rock history.
