Description
Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab guitars are much more than copies - they're incredible guitars that capture the sound and energy of an era, making them great for players looking to tap into the raw, gritty magic of decades past. The all-new "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard is a stellar recreation of one of the most famous guitars of all time, a '59 LP owned by Peter Green, Gary Moore, and now Metallica's Kirk Hammett. If you've always wanted to know what it was like to shred on the legendary "Greeny" Les Paul, you're in luck - this Gibson is a masterfully-built replica that looks, sounds, and feels just like the real thing.
Gibson's Custom Shop artisans went through painstaking detail to ensure that this guitar is a dead-ringer for Hammett's actual '59 LP. From its period-correct curves and contours to its 1959 Authentic neck profile, this single-cut has the same old-school vibe as the original model. It also features meticulous aging from the Gibson Murphy Lab that perfectly replicates the current condition of Kirk's "Greeny."
Perhaps the most unique thing about the "Greeny" Les Paul is its signature out-of-phase sound in the middle position. With both pickups selected, this guitar produces the iconic squawking vocal tone that players have tried to emulate for years. And if that's not your thing, don't worry - it delivers spot-on '59 Les Paul tones when either pickup is isolated.
A fantastic recreation of one of the most incredible guitars in rock 'n' roll history, the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard is the perfect guitar for professionals, collectors, and players chasing that coveted "Greeny" sound.
