Gibson 'Greeny' Les Paul Kirk Hammett Standard Greeny Burst

The Gibson Kirk Hammett “Greeny” Les Paul Standard in Greeny Burst pays tribute to one of the most storied electric guitars in rock history. The original “Greeny” — passed from Peter Green to Gary Moore and now to Kirk Hammett — is renowned for its unmistakable tone, especially its out-of-phase middle position that delivers a haunting, vocal-like character. This modern Gibson recreation captures the essence of that legendary instrument with premium materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and fully authentic electronics.

The body pairs a resonant mahogany back with an AAA figured maple top, finished in a lightly aged satin nitrocellulose Greeny Burst. The 50s Vintage mahogany neck provides a classic, substantial feel, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard offers smooth playability and warm tonal response.

At the core of its iconic voice are the Greenybucker humbuckers, specially engineered to replicate the original pickups. The neck pickup is reverse-mounted with reversed magnetic polarity, enabling the signature out-of-phase sound when combined with the bridge pickup.

Hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors preserve tonal clarity and authenticity, while premium hardware, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and Grover Rotomatic tuners, ensure stability, sustain, and precision. Finished with vintage-correct top-hat knobs, cream binding, and a period-styled hardshell case, the Greeny Standard offers collectors, enthusiasts, and performers a faithful and inspiring tribute to a legendary instrument.
