"Fade to Black" Metallica On A Gibson Kirk Hammett "Greeny"

Описание: The red dye of the sunburst on the original “Greeny” may faded to its own distinguished color, in Kirk Hammetts (and Nathaniel’s) hands, the Greeny fades to black! Each Collector’s Edition Kirk Hammett “Greeny” 1959 Les Paul Standard was hand-made at the Gibson Custom Shop to recreate the legendary guitar, including the immediately recognizable fade (now referred to as a “Greeny Burst”), as well as its distinctive sound, featuring two Custom Greeny Humbuckers, which use Alnico 2 magnets that are out of phase with each other to achieve that middle position sound the original guitar is so famous for. We currently have this incredible Collector’s Edition replica at CME—so call, chat us, or visit Chicago Music Exchange to learn more!

Perhaps one of the most storied 1959 Les Paul Standard guitars Gibson has ever produced, the original “Greeny” guitar now owned by Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett was first owned by Peter Green, who used it on the first four Fleetwood Mac albums—which included some of their earliest hits, like “Oh Well,” “Black Magic Woman,” and “Albatross”—until Green met Gary Moore in 1970 and eventually offered to sell Moore his Les Paul. Moore went on to use that guitar throughout his career, on songs like “Waiting For An Alibi” and “Parisienne Walkway,” both as a solo artist and during his time in bands like Thin Lizzy. But, after Moore sold “Greeny” in 2006, it changed hands among several private collectors until Hammett bought the guitar in 2014 and has since used the guitar live and in the studio.
