  • When Peter Green Left Fleetwood Mac, The Future of His Music Career Seemed Almost Uncertain With No Hope of Return. However, Peter Felt It Would Be A Shame To Just Leave His Cherished ‘59 Les Paul Locked Away In Storage. So Peter Would Sell His Guitar To His Good Friend Gary Moore And The Rest As They Say, Is History. In This Video, We’ll Be Examining The Journey of The Guitar And What REALLY Happened To It.

    Amazing story, I heard that guitar sound live by Gary Moore in early 90's in Kentish Town Country Club now its called O2 Forum in north London, lovely live music venue, mid size, historic building with great acoustics, he used that guitar for only one song "Still Got the Blues for You" and the tone was mesmerizingly penetrating the souls of the lucky audience, it was truly a gut wrenching performance and an unforgettable night. Peace. ✌

    Moore was taken under Peter’s wing. Peter told Gary that if he sold his best guitar that Peter would take whatever money Gary got. Gary Moore is a guitar legend. Not sure how someone says Gary wasn’t good enough. You sure you’ve heard Gary’s career work?

    Great post! I knew most of the story. Didn't know the stipulations that Gary put on the guitars next owner when he sold it. Even though his wishes were eventually dishonored I'm happy he thought enough of the guitar to do it. One thing I find very interesting is that the Joe Perry Gibson "Boneyard Burst" has the "Greeny" mod built into it!! There is also a Epiphone version of the "Boneyard" that is set up the same way, The Epi version was made in 2004 thru possibly 2006. It was a quite short run of 2 or 3 years. It has Gibson Burst Bucker 2 & 3 pick ups in it!! I'd love for Kirk to plug that Epi into a Marshall, crank it up and get his opinion of the sound!!! We might be in for a hell of a surprise!!!!

    We’ve all heard of the out of phase character this particular instrument has but have heard it was due to a wiring screw up and several other theories but this is the best explanation this non-guitar player has heard that makes sense especially the reversed pick-up bit I didn’t know about. But I have heard it played and it definitely is different in a ephemeral sort of way. Unique 😉

    Really Kirk you think it belongs in the rock and roll hall of fame, I very much doubt that's the sentiment of the previous musicians that owned it, collecting dust in a silly American institution that doesn't honour many many genuine guitar legends like Rory Gallagher for instance, I'm glad to see it being used on stage which is exactly where it belongs.

    Funny how two of the most legendary instruments, in history, are within Metallica's care. :'D Kirk Hammett is the 'curator' of Peter Green's 'Greeny', and Robert Trujillo is the same for Jaco Pastorius' 'Bass of Doom'. Even better, Trujillo owns the 'Bass of Doom', but leaves any and all future decisions, regarding its wellbeing, in the hands of Jaco's family. Now, that's HEART.
