Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 59 Les Paul Standard Greeny Replica Aged Overview
Gibson Custom Murphy Lab '59 Les Paul Standard Greeny Replica Aged
The story of “Greeny” is shrouded in mystery, yet it remains one of the most illustrious guitars ever made. This iconic original Les Paul Standard is known not only for its distinctive sound but also for its storied history. Once owned by Peter Green, it was used throughout his time with Fleetwood Mac and later sold to Gary Moore, who played it for three decades with Thin Lizzy and as a solo artist. Now in the possession of Kirk Hammett, Greeny has passed through the hands of three legendary guitarists.
Greeny’s unique sound comes partly from its out-of-phase middle switch position, caused by the neck pickup’s reversed magnetic polarity. The Kirk Hammett “Greeny” 1959 Les Paul Standard, meticulously crafted by the Gibson Custom Shop’s Murphy Lab, is artfully aged to mirror the original. This replica allows players to experience some of Greeny’s magic with its Indian rosewood fretboard and exquisite detailing.
To complete the package, a brown/pink Lifton reissue 5-latch case is included, ensuring that this legendary instrument is well-protected.
