Mo Says...The Epiphone Kirk Hammett ñGreenyî 1959 Les Paul Standard in Greeny Burst is a hauntingly beautiful tribute from Epiphone to one of rockÍs most storied instruments, guided by the hands and ears of Kirk Hammett himself.Product DescriptionThe story of ÒGreenyÓ is shrouded in mystery, but few guitars are as illustrious. Greeny is one of the most iconic original Les Paul» Standards ever made, with a unique sound as recognizable as the guitar itself. Previously owned by Peter Green, it was used throughout his time with Fleetwood Mac and later sold to Gary Moore, who used it for three decades with Thin Lizzy and as a solo artist. Now owned by Kirk Hammett, Greeny has passed through the hands of three legendary guitarists.Its distinctive sound is partly from the out-of-phase middle switch position due to the neck pickupÕs reversed magnetic polarity. The Epiphone Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard is a collaboration between Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop. This exceptional guitar was inspired by Kirk's legendary original and allows players around the world the opportunity to experience some of the magic of "Greeny" for themselves.It features premium components, including Gibson USA Greenybucker pickups with the neck pickup reverse mounted and complete with a reverse polarity magnet, a Switchcraft¬ pickup selector and 1/4" output jack, CTS¬ potentiometers, Mallory» capacitors, and Grover¬ Rotomatic¬ tuners with spade-style buttons on a Gibson-style Òopen bookÓ headstock. A vintage-style brown and pink hardshell case is also included.SpecificationsBodyBody Style: Les PaulBody Shape: Les PaulBody Material: MahoganyTop: Maple with AAA Flame Maple VeneerBinding: Single-ply Cream, Top and FretboardBody Finish: Aged GlossNeckProfile: Custom Greeny ProfileScale Length: 628.65 mm / 24.75 inFingerboard Material: Indian LaurelFingerboard Radius: 304.8 mm / 12 inNeck Material: One Piece MahoganyFret Count: 22Frets: Medium JumboNut Material: Graph TechNut Width: 43.0 mm / 1.692 inInlays: Mother of Pearl TrapezoidJoint: Glued In, Set Neck, Long TenonHardwareFinish: NickelBridge: Epiphone Tune-O-MaticTailpiece: LockTone Stop BarTuning Machines: Grover Rotomatic with Spade ButtonPickguard: NoneTruss Rod: Dual ActionTruss Rod Cover: 2-ply, BlackSwitch Tip: IvorySwitch Washer: CreamJack Plate Cover: CreamControl Covers: BlackStrap Buttons: 2 - Bottom and ShoulderMounting Rings: CreamElectronicsNeck Pickup: Gibson USA Greenybucker with Reversed Magnetic Polarity; Reverse MountedBridge Pickup: Gibson USA GreenybuckerControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 50s Wiring, CTS Potentiometers, Mallory CapacitorsPickup Selector: Switchcraft 3-way ToggleOutput Jack: Switchcraft 1/4"MiscellaneousStrings Gauge: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046Case: Vintage-style Hardshell with Tan Exterior, Pink Interior, and Custom Artwork
