Few guitars embody the essence of rock 'n' roll to such an extent as the Les Paul. Synonymous with many of the finest players throughout history, the timeless silhouette has helped shape the sound of rock’s greatest stars. While there are thousands upon thousands of exemplary models in circulation, not many have attained the notoriety of a particular 1959 Les Paul Standard dubbed "Greeny." This illustrious instrument was originally owned by Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green, whose Les Paul tone throughout his tenure with the band became one of the most influential sounds of all time. Green later sold his iconic 1959 LP Standard to Thin Lizzy’s Gary Moore, who kept the guitar for three decades before it landed in the hands of Kirk Hammett from Metallica. Such a storied instrument is bound to have its charming quirks, which is why Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop teamed up to put a replica in the hands of players everywhere. The Epiphone Kirk Hammett "Greeny" 1959 Les Paul Standard allows every guitarist to experience the mojo of a certified classic.
