General

Following the considerably pricier USA version from parent company Gibson, Epiphone and Metallica guitar legend Kirk Hammett come up with his fine-priced 1959 Les Paul Standard version of his own Greeny guitar. The original inspiration for this model is of course that iconic Les Paul, which has also been owned in the past by legendary Fleetwood Mac frontman Peter Green and iconic guitar giant Gary Moore (ex-Thin Lizzy). A tasteful vintage-style hardshell guitar case with a classic brown exterior, tasteful pink interior lining and stylish custom artwork comes with it, of course. Grover Rotomatic tuners with Spade-style buttons, Epiphone quality hardware and a Graph Tech nut are also included.

Greeny 1959 Les Paul Standard: that iconic bright guitar sound in the middle position

The body and glued neck of this Artist Collection Epiphone are of course made of familiar mahogany and the maple top has been given a nice-looking veneer of AAA-quality flamed maple wood. But to more than adequately amplify the warm core sound with just that little bit of bite, this 1959 LP STD Greeny signature haste has of course been given 2 USA Greenybuckers from Gibson. To give you that iconically bright guitar sound in the middle position, the neck pickup has been given reverse magnetic polarity, just like the vintage original. Actually, with this Greeny, it does not matter whether you are a fan of Gary Moore, Kirk Hammett or Peter Green. You can play excellent rock as well as blues with this Epiphone LP signature.

Epiphone Kirk Hammett Greeny 1959 Les Paul Standard Greeny Burst Electric Guitar with Case

Wrote the following about Epiphone Kirk Hammett Greeny 1959 Les Paul Standard Greeny Burst Electric Guitar with Case
Déçu... Les bindings ont des coups d'outils, la finition des frettes est moyenne et surtout la guitare est livrée non réglée: l'action est effroyablement haute et le manche non réglé.
On est loin d'un haut de gamme...
A 1700€ ppc, c'est clairement trop cher.
