An Icon of Rock History, at the Heart of the Les Paul Standard Range
The "Greeny" is one of the most legendary Les Paul Standards, both for its history and its distinctive tone. This Gibson Kirk Hammett "Greeny" Les Paul Standard follows the tradition of characterful Les Pauls, featuring the aesthetic markers and especially the sonic architecture that made the original so unique. It offers a decidedly "vintage" feel while benefiting from manufacturing designed for today's musicians.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
This Les Paul is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a high-end electric guitar with strong character. It excels in blues, rock, hard rock, and expressive lead playing, but remains very relevant whenever thick rhythms, singing solos, and a wide palette of nuances in volume and tone are desired. The "50s Vintage" neck profile will appeal to players who enjoy a substantial grip and traditional feel.
The Sound
The Greenybucker pair is designed to capture the DNA of the original guitar, with a key point: the neck pickup with reverse magnetic polarity (and reversed mounting), which adds a particular color when combining pickups via the selector switch. The mahogany body promotes dense sustain and warm low-mids, while the AAA figured maple top adds attack and definition, ideal for clear leads and chords that retain depth. The 2 volumes and 2 tones wired by hand, combined with OrangeDrop capacitors, invite fine control over dynamics and brightness, from expressive cleans to creamy drive.
