The Epiphone Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard is a collaborative creation between Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop. This guitar pays its respect to Kirk's iconic original—by way of Peter Green and Gary Moore—allowing musicians worldwide to share their own small taste of "Greeny". A key characteristic of "Greeny" lies in its unique sound, attributed in part to the out-of-phase middle switch position resulting from the reversed magnetic polarity of the neck pickup. This distinctive tonal identity, seemingly a happy accident, has been accurately recreated by this The Epiphone Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard.

The Les Paul body shape also pays homage to tradition, featuring a mahogany body crowned with a maple top, with a AAA flame maple veneer. The one-piece mahogany neck boasts a custom Greeny profile, creating a unique playing experience that only "Greeny" players have experienced before. The Indian laurel fingerboard, adorned with 22 frets and mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, further provides a dynamic platform for fretting.

In the hardware department, the Epiphone ABR bridge and LockTone Stopbar tailpiece contribute to the guitar's stability and sustain, while the Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons, on the Gibson-style "open book" headstock, provide precise tuning control, while nickel plating adds a touch of vintage elegance.

Under the hood, Gibson USA Greeny bucker pickups, featuring reversed magnetic polarity in the neck pickup and reverse mounting, capture the essence of "Greeny's" iconic tone. The control layout, including 2 volume and 2 tone knobs with 50s wiring, is complemented by CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, ensuring a responsive and articulate sonic palette.

For those seeking not just a guitar but a piece of history, the Epiphone Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard delivers. The package is completed with a vintage-style brown and pink hard shell case, offering a unique companion to this unique guitar.
