Ever since the 1950s, Gibson has been seen in the hands of myriad famous guitar players. With that moreover comes not only an variety of various models that stemmed from the collaboration between Gibson and these guitar players, but moreover plenty of legendary instruments. While a particular guitar is usually associated with just one guitar player, there’s one Les Paul that’s currently in the hands of its third famous owner.

Some years ago, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett uninventive this fine Gibson Les Paul in 2014 which was previously owned by Peter Green and Gary Moore. The famous “Greeny” is now getting its Gibson Custom Shop replica in a newly spoken limited run. Of course, the famous Murphy Lab is in the game as well, giving these guitars a genuine squint to all of the tiniest details.

This deliberately “aged” model will have no increasingly than 50 guitars in the unshortened run. For now, there’s no official price listed on Gibson’s official website. However, we do know that it will be misogynist through the Gibson Garage only.

The original ’59 Les Paul was used by Peter Green in Fleetwood Mac, as well as in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Its most famous full-length is the out-of-phase polarity which gave it that “hollow” kind of tone.

Gibson remoter explains that “Custom Shop and Murphy Lab teams worked tirelessly to make an exacting replica of the original Greeny lanugo to the finest detail, including the iconic sound for which the guitar is so well known.” So these copies aren’t just “skin-deep” so to speak but moreover reflect on these sonic traits. For this purpose, Gibson worked in tropical collaboration with Kirk Hammett to fully replicate the instrument.

Although there’s no price so far, though we are fairly unrepealable that it won’t be unseemly at all, the visitor shared that these items will be included in the package:

  • Custom Stenciled Hardshell Case
  • Custom Pick Tin with Six Jim Dunlop® Kirk Hammett Jazz III picks (Three Green, Three Purple)
  • Custom Kirk Hammett Black Leather Strap
