Ask a guitar fanatic what the number 9 2208 refers to, and they know right away, it’s Greeny. No other guitar has earned legendary status like this magical 1959 Les Paul Standard. The Gibson Custom Shop is proud to honor this legacy and bring this magic to more players with the global launch of the Kirk Hammett “Greeny” 1959 Les Paul Standard Made 2 Order featuring Indian rosewood and Murphy Lab aging.
A 1959 Les Paul Standard is one of the most coveted and valuable guitars ever, but one particular example, “Greeny,” is famous for both its incredible story and its iconic sound. Originally owned by Peter Green, Greeny was used throughout his time with Fleetwood Mac and started as a bright cherry red sunburst, but after countless shows, it faded to a pale-yellow color. Greeny’s distinctive sound is partially from the out-of-phase middle switch position due to the neck pickup’s reversed magnetic polarity. In the 1970s, Peter sold Greeny to Gary Moore, who used it for three decades with Thin Lizzy and as a solo artist, even recording an album titled “Blues for Greeny.” After years together, Greeny was sold and temporarily retired, left waiting for a chance to return to the stage.
Now owned by Kirk Hammett, Greeny has officially passed through the hands of three legendary guitarists. Now you can add your own chapter to the legend of Greeny.

They world is full of haters. I for one am glad a guitarist bought it and it’s being played on stage. Regardless how you feel about Kirk, his playing, or his style. He has been successful and the guitar continues to be played for the masses and not sitting in a safe somewhere being rubbed down by a diaper.
Standby for forum hating players negative comment 🍿
How many of these Greeny tributes will be made?
Yeah, more Kirk!!
@@sintya611 yeah me2
Gibson is so out of touch from real musicians, I hope the company folds in the next ten years.
Lawyers, dentists and investment bankers across the globe can now have a "Greeny" of their own.
Not the regular folk unfortunately 😢
It if makes you feel any better, none of those doctors or investment bankers will be lefties
that's who buys a Gibson, basically they are like the Harley Davidson of the guitar world, eventually those people stop playing, or die off, and Gibson will be left wondering who are they going to sell guitars too.
@@peejay6930 hahaha!
for $20K - I think you are right.
Kirk is one of my favorite musicians....but not because of his music alone. he has such a beautiful soul. he doesnt try to play the role of the hard ass; being his own true self is why i really admire him. what a giving, wonderful person he is!
yes, I can’t understand why he gets so much hate
Oh wow another 50's/60's Les Paul holy shit the innovation is unstoppable.
don't forget the aged case
@@yaniv-nos-tubes yea i Nearly did !! Mw
Gibson tried to innovate and bring some new things to the market, and people lost their f-ing minds. So now they can only do colors and runs, and stick to what sells.
@@georgeh.5480 exactly. Op thought he was being clever, dude has no clue.
The last time Gibson tried to appease the "modern player", they went bankrupt. 🤣
Gary Moores Blues Alive performance was the reason I wanted a trans amber 95 classic. Still have it 28 years later. If you haven’t seen that performance, it’s one of the greatest musical performances EVER!
i agree 100%, gary is the 1 guitarist were ive listened to his live and album stuff and just gone blank and went wow. he is the most outstanding musician ive ever heard. he makes that guitar sing like no other person can, i could watch his live versions for hours on end and still enjoying it like a kid in a candy shop.
One of the best live albums of all time.
This guitar will always be Peter Green's Greeny. That's why it's Greeny!
I can understand why Kirk loves that guitar but why anyone would spend $20k for a replica is beyond me
Agreed.
$20? CME is selling for $85k
Remember kids,,,,,today's deals ......are tomorrows bargain,,,....better than in any bank....limited edition,,,so..5-8 years from now it will bring more than interest..............notsorry😯
@@ranyericarvalhosantos2137 some folks just have a lot more money than sense.
That is a tall drink of water, but with original 59' Les Pauls fetching $500k or more, a very limited replica is probably a good deal. It's all based on what the market will bear. I have an original Collectors Choice Peter Green 59' Ser #6 and It's worth that much. It's a fantastic guitar.
"If people wanna play it, even complete strangers, sure, play it all you want"
Ok Kirk I want to play it. Forever please. For the rest of my days will do. Drop it off tonight, ok? Thanks.
🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣
Gibson TV should do a The Collection with either James Hetfield or Kirk Hammett. Who agrees?
Not at all, they're fine with ESP. Gibson has way too many QC issues. It would be cool to have a James Hetfield explorer, but even back then he primarily used ESP.
Sure. US$50.000 guitars. Nice!
Gibson TV did a hour long show with Kirk, Kirk and James are ESP artists, lets not forget that ESP allows them to play whatever they want, and they still choose to play ESP over anything else. Kirk and James have been so loyal to ESP because ESP has been loyal to them.
Y’all are a bunch of a social weirdos thinking you know people lol. Get a life
@@georgeh.5480 Kirk is an ESP AND a Gibson Artist.
Honestly, Kirk can't hold a candle to Gary playing wise but it's awesome that this instrument didn't go to a collector who'd just lock it up. I saw this guitar live(with Kirk), amazing.
Gary is among the all time great players. He could hold his own with anyone. Watch him at the Fender 60th anniversary party playing Red House by Jimi.
I must see for "n" time the performance of "Fade To Black" in 2009, i'm pretty sure that Kirk plays "Fade" and "Nothing..." with this guitar.
Me, too, in 2019 not too long after he acquired it. Couldn't have gone to a better player.
@josemojicaperez4436 when I saw them last year, when he was playing the intro solo to Fade, he was right in front of me on stage!
Pretty sure he used it on a few other songs as well.
Nothing like a Gibson! Beautiful
Absolutely love this guitar,can't thank my wife enough for buying it for my 50th
Make a vid bro
Wonderful Birthday present. Enjoy it. 👍
Must be nice. That amount of money would buy $100 worth of groceries for someone for almost 4 years.
To me this Guitar is called " the Greeny " for a reason nobody produced sutch beautifull solos on it than Peter Green
Learn to spell.
Peter Green didn't like it.
So, you're saying Gary Moore never played a beautiful solo on it? I agree the new owner isn't in the same class but that's one sweeping generalisation in your comment.
It's called Greeny as PG was the original owner, nothing more.
@@sted123456789 Moore definitely did. But he still never had the tone Green did.
@@dubster82 The only reason he sold it was Gary moore wouldnt stop bugging him about it.
That's so awesome Kirk let's people play that guitar.
Gibson, y'all did such an immaculate job on my 2018 Standard that I no longer covet any other guitar on the face of this planet. Not Greeny, Pearly Gates, Pagey's #1 & #2... no other guitar could match or replace the instrument y'all made for me.
It's been a 30 year dream for me since first seeing Slash wield it on MTV or seeing mom's Frampton Comes Alive record up to now when I can reach in the case and pull out the guitar I had manifested over so many years. I can't thank y'all enough. ❤
I know how you feel. And its a great feeling. 😊
Quick! Take a breath!
Anyone sucking so hard will lose consciousness and possibly die!
It's just not worth dying in front of dozens of Urologists.
Thank God I saved your life.
You are welcome.
@@CaptainCraigKWMRZ Really?
I’ve got a 2022 Standard and it’s my forever guitar. Only thing I did was replace the pickups with Dimarzio Super Distortions, and now it’s perfect!
The great thing about Kirk is he is genuinely a custodian of everything that guitar means to people.
The only bad thing is that he has not evolved in 30 years regardless of how much he cares about guitars.
Yet he carved his fucking initials into the back of it. He's a tool.
HARVESTER OF SORROW!!!! 🤘🎸🤘🎸😎😎 what a sexy looking guitar!! 🤘🎸🤘🎸
So love his passion!!….great to see!!👏👏👌👌🤘🤘😎🎸
I love the way this was shot! So cool.
Rory Gallagher is underrated as hell 👀🤌🏼
You're joking right?
@@PaulMcCaffreyfmac no lol, Rory Gallagher is one of the most underrated players of all time.
I hope I run into Kirk one day because I just have to play that guitar man. Wow.
Personally i dont really like greeny getting called kirks guitar ( no hate against kirk) since if you look at its legacy , with gary moore (imo the best guitarist of all time). gary made that guitar sing like no other instrument or guitarist can, gary had the most outstanding solos, the greatest melodies and songs ive heard. John norum once said "when you listen to gary it makes you feel someting, someting like no other guitarist can" and i think that summs up how great gary was. and before gary there were peter green in the early stages of fleetwood mac.
Absolutely agree mate
I was going to buy one but I don't like Green, Moore, Hammett stencilled on the case 😂
At least it is being played. I find it sickening that David Gilmour's black strat is sitting on Jim Irsay's mantle, so, again, at least Greenie is being played...
Perfeito amigão disse tudo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@NigelTufnel612 100% i agree but i dont think that its being represented in the best way possible, i think that it should have gone to either jack moore, or if you look at billy Merziotis he is i think the best at playing like gary. but i agree 100% that its better beeing played than standing in a room some where.
I think the Staff at Gibson that day when he showed up to shoot this Ad, shared some cocktails with Kurt..
I've heard Kirk talk about this guitar at length in previous interviews. I never heard him mention that he'd noticed the guitar as a kid and thought about wanting it. That's gotta be awesome to finally own something like that. Be like me owning one of Hetfield's Ken Lawrence explorers. The one he used in the late 90s early 2000s specifically is my dream guitar.
It was Gary Moore and the sound of that guitar to make me want to learn to play guitar
Kirk is such a nice guy. Greenie remains in good hands... This guitar sounded great playing blues (Gary Moore and BB playing "thrill..."). Now in Metallica it sounds MASSIVE.
its the absolutely worst guy to play this legendary guitar, but it is what it is.
it was cool with GM &BB I've watched it a shit load of times 👍
@@LfunkeyA HUH WATCH THE FADE IN BLACK U IDIOT
@@LfunkeyA ok so who is the 'ideal' person to play this guitar? Enlighten us with your wisdom instead of just complaining.. cork sniffer.
@@LfunkeyA Who would you rather see with it?
Man that song (and album) is incredible
I had a honey burst traditional , I absolutely loved it . Can’t wait to get a Les Paul again . Heavy body 50s neck .
The best sample does not have a heavy body.
I had a 2018 60s standard unburst it sounded and played great but it weighed too much. Would love to get another 60s but this time under 9.5 lbs.
Harvester of sorrow wasn't recorded with that guitar !!! :-)
Vintage Guitar makes a real good greeny les Paul replica with Wilkinson out of phase pickups at a fraction of the Gibson custom shop cost.
They should do a epiphone version of this guitar so we all can get in on the great sound Greeny" 1959 Les Paul has
I’m sure they will as they did with the Adam Jones silverbursts. Will prob be $1300 if I had to guess.
They will never do that. They don't want poor people to have access to a "Greenie."
and better build quality lol
Epiphone version only $8,999
The Epiphone of tomorrow will have a premium line and a special artist editions line.
While Gibson USA continues to price simple guitars into the stratosphere, becoming the icon brand.
Awesome it's in the right hands.. that's one of those individual things that belong to an artist of the trade.. it has truly found where it blongs....
I am happy that he will be the only one guy able to buy it lol with this crazy price so happy for him and maybe the future 10 buyers
Confused with your comment. The greeny he has was bought from Gary was almost 2 million. However, yes 20k for this shit nah. I can make one myself cheaper.
the legacy of this guitar will last forever. Gibson killed it with this and beyond. this is why Gibson will forever be my favorite.
Such an awesome guitar
The most epic Les Paul ever imo.
That would be Page’s #1 in my opinion
Limited run - they will cost a small fortune. I met Peter back in '69 and i held and strummed 'greeny' , it wasn't the faded lemon colour it has morphed into but a nice sunburst red colour. 🎸😎
Awesome!
Badass! Kirk 🫵😉👊😁❤️
This guitar has just transitioned to another level. lets be real if some dude that was looking to stick it in a museum we'd all be gutted. Great to see it go to another guitar player...
20k.. great, I thought it might be expensive! Let's all get the greeny sound now
Man Kirk LOVES that guitar. There's def some magick going on in that thing.
Of all the guitar players to be next to have Greeny ...he's not on my list. Bonamassa would do this guitar justice or another Top Blues/Rock guitarist
@@michaelcantinieri7890 I actually like that he has it as opposed to a rock/blues great. Being in the world's biggest metal band gives the guitar better exposure to people who otherwise wouldn't even know about it's existence.
At 20k! I love Gibson and own many... but these prices are crazy.
I wanna Play Greenie a little Kirk when your in the Detroit area.
Gibson could come with a regular USA Greeny model and and Epiphone one afterwards, where the pickups and neck shape are modeled after the original, but no relic and no 20K price tag, so that normal people can actuallt acquire one.
There's an "of the rack" version coming. Based on some inside knowledge I'm guessing retail will be USD 5-6K.
The guys with the 50k versions gonna be real upset now.
What great philosophy and appreciation still after so many years. One of the living legends he is...
It's a pity you don't get the Green, More, Hammett case with it😕
Good evening sir. Verry nice.
Wow!! What a bargain ONLY $20,000 !! I will take two please
Only 2?! Come on’ man, at least get the tri-fecta like the rest of us
@@CarbonBasedLifeform7810
Well, this shouldn't cost much.
If you cannot afford $20,000 for a guitar you are a "Peasant"...
I'm just about the pickups. I have Les Pauls that I'm in love with body-wise, but I definitely would love to upgrade with a set of those!
You can flip the magnet in the neck pickup yourself if your confident enough to disassemble the pickup and turn the magnet round. I did it on my Les Paul and it sounds just like 'greeny's' tone. You can watch me playing my 'Good bye Greeny - Tribute To Peter Green @ utube Alfie Henshall. 🎸😎
Get some Bare Knuckle hand wound ones, I did for my standard and transformed it
I’m digging that Gibson is going full throttle into their heritage and lore and doing their best to give enthusiasts what they want while being unfettered by the naysayers. The expensive reissues aren’t the only ones they’ll make. Imagine Ford etc putting out an actual 68 fastback or Hoonicorn for that matter. Dodge has that wheels-up drag pack from the factory too. That’s essentially what Gibson are doing here. A great time to be alive I say 👏👏
Saw Peter Green play that guitar with Fleetwood Mac on Black Friday 1969 at the Boston Tea Party., Boston Mass.
For only 19,99 you can rock like guitar God Kirk Hammit! S&H not included.
They always get ya with that shipping!
Love this!!
Shortest straw has been pulled for you.....🎵🎵
I hope that guitar goes to another great musician once Kirk passes on
When KH passes on in another 25 years or so, Bonamassa will snag it, adding it to his horde of ‘bursts that will by that time amount to 92% of all of them ever made.
It’s got notes all over the fretboard, spinal tap moment 😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HaHaHaHa
Ha Ha
ha
:-)
LMAO I thought so too! When he was talking about the note sustain, all I could think about was Nigel going, "You could go and have a bite, still be hearing that one"
@@spiderfrommars They say art imitates life. Turns out life does a pretty good take on life too. (And love, LOVE the screen name.)
A les paul video while they play a riff played on an ESP explorer.
James used his Gibson 1984 Explorer on that album. He started using ESP around the end of 88' / beginning fo 89'.
typical comment by someone who has no clue. good job, champ. the justice record is mainly recorded with a gibson explorer..
@@sebastianwulff1938 fuck, for a moment thought you were talking about me. The relief 🤣
@@coldbastard6859 James 87, Kirk 86:)
Certified Icon!!!!!
LOVE THIS, LOVE KIRK, LOVE METALLICA and METAL!
I feel like Kurt should place a Frankenstein sticker on that guitar to make it really cool.
It's cool you guys made a version that only your board of directors and celebrities can afford, but when can us mere mortals expect the $1k epiphone version?
Kirk, you're cool...righteous...rock on...that guitar is in good hands.
I finally have a Gibson Adam Jones Standard. That's my Greeny.
Kirk and James are total guitar nerds…never would have guessed when they were kids creating thrash in the early/mid 80s
Dude you are ffffffing Cool
Hopefully there is an Epiphone version because that one guitar is more than all my other Gibsons combined.
Gibson laughing all the way to the bank!!!💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
DUH, all companies are in it to profit, why else do it?
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh ,,rock on dudes
So if Kirk bumps the guitar and makes a new scratch on the original Greeny, do Gibson people come to your house and recreate the new scratch on your copy? That would explain why it costs 20k.
Kirk I wanna play it!
That castle at the beginning of the video, is that were this interview is filmed? Very cool place.
everything is wonderful. the only thing missing is the money to buy one 😂😢😮
Nice going Kirk, I'm sure your fans will be buying them in droves at $50k, way to be in touch with the people.
This is the "standard". 20,000 USD. It's on Gibson's website.
I am sure an Epiphone version will come along at some point,, just like they do with Joe Bonamassa and Alex Jones. They understand that none everyone can afford to purchase at such an elite level.
@@terryshrk who’s Alex Jones? Do you mean Adam Jones? 😒
@@jeandrehartman oh, well then that will get the kids buying them.
@@HashiAkitaPuppy or the kids can wait for the Epiphone version... :)
The link is missing. I do have to say, I have a regular Gibson USA Slash in Appetite and that is my go to guitar for everything. I play all of my guitars, but that's the one with the most road time. I would like to think that once a Gibson USA of Greenie hits the streets, I'll be just as inspired. Keep on doing what you're doing, Gibson. Personally, I think some of the best Gibsons in decades are being produced right now.
We're so thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your Gibson and thank you for letting us know about the link. It has been added to the description.
@@gibsonguitar you people are delusion greedy asshats, pass that on to the boss
This mans and this guitar has inspired me to play the guitar greatest guitar and guitarist to exist love Gibson for doing this
I loved Kirk's playing when I was 13... I'll leave you with that
I've always thought of this guitar in terms of the Gary Moore signature
It kind of looks like a relic version of the unburst les paul!
If I had the money I’d buy it
Gibson Greeny is heading a very good direction. Now that we have at medium price range, can we have an extra friendly price for Greeny just like those 3 price range of Adam Jones guitar?
yeah i'm hoping they release the production model greeny for around that $4,000 mark, but i suspect it might be more like 6,000
(so thats $8,000 Australian)
I wish i could afford it.
Wait… so the Gary Moore signature model was not an accurate reproduction of this guitar?😏
So true.. lol
The technology they use now means this is a much better reproduction.
I had one of those back in 2000.. not so great. Can't even remember what exactly i did with it other then i know i sold it or traded it for something else
Kirk has a great heart and compassion for others that's why the one and only Greeny found him, that's what guitars do mine included
I want that guitar
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
As a massive fan of musical instruments, and a synth nerd, there is absolutely NOTHING that makes a vintage musical instrument worth more than it was originally sold for.
Except those who WILL pay for it.
(But I feel ya.)
@@roughcutguitars it's madness. People are paying 1.2k for an original 303. Absolutely outrageous. When it comes to vintage guitars and classic synths, it just gets absurd.
Unless you put "in my opinion" your comment was totally meaningless, because it's a demonstrable fact attribution adds value, if I had two EMS vocoders for sale, one was $400 and one was $425, and the $425 one was owned by Florian Schneider I know which one you would by, don't even try to deny it
@@peejay6930 I would buy the cheaper one. What would be the material benefit in paying more for the same vocoder because it was owned by Florian?
Generally it's because of Rarity they aren't around anymore so they cost more money. When it comes to it belonging to somebody else it's because that person held it used it their literal sweat and DNA is on it so yeah it should definitely be worth more. Some people just value things more they understand the personality if you will behind it. That said there's no way that this should be $20,000
What are the pickups on these? EMGs with a custom chrome cover of some sort?
Mr. Hammett.. Any chance you want to make a life long fans life and donate one of these to a guy who dreams he could afford one. Really if I could, I buy one in a heart beat! Gibson you guys are awesome! One day... One day! 👍
I was fifty before i could afford my first LP standard. It's no 59 either.
Sweet baby Jesus!!!!
Congratulations Gibson Impecable work and doing an amazing job.
Hope one day I can get my hands on a masterpiece like this!!!
Abrazo Mexicano.
🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻
Gary Moore !
I’ll just have my studio, please🙂
Couldn’t get my hands on the $50K Greeny last year cos, well Caesar has to save a couple for his good friends (Jason Momoa, etc). Gonna pick this one up….
Incoming "Gibson Legends" wih Kirk?
In modern gigs, this guitar identically with some song's like SANITARIUM, FADE, & UNFORGIVEN.
No one can touch Gary Moore on Greeny
Amen brother
And how would you know this?
go pray to the alter of him then and stfu already.
I think we need an Epiphone greeny
❤❤❤❤❤
