Greeny has passed through three famous pairs of hands: Peter Green in Fleetwood Mac, then Gary Moore for nearly three decades, and now Kirk Hammett. This Les Paul Standard follows the original closely.
The signature detail is in the pickups. The neck Greenybucker is reverse-mounted with its magnetic polarity reversed, which is what gives the middle position its hollow, out-of-phase sound. Satin nitro over an AAA figured maple top in Greeny Burst, a custom Greeny neck profile, two volumes and two tones hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, an ABR-1 bridge and Grover Rotomatic tuners. The cream pickguard comes uninstalled, like the original.
