So, wait a minute. This is the Kirk Hammet Peter Green Les Paul? Hmmmm...here's my question. What happens when some person comes along and really shakes up the Electric Guitar scene. Say his name is Rodney Glick, and he's doing this on his trusty Kirk Hammet Peter Green Les Paul. What does Gibson do? Well, of course, they release the Rodney Glick Kirk Hammet Peter Green Les Paul, Yours for only $7999.00 at your local Gibson Dealer. Great! So along comes Suzie Scotia, whose amazing playing rocks the Guitar World with her Rodney Glick Kirk Hammet Peter Green Les Paul. Gibson, of course, is compelled to craft the amazing Suzie Scotia Rodney Glick Kir...hey, what're you guys doing? Get out of here right....take this thing off of me, I'm not getting in that van, are you crazy? Who are you people and why are you restraining HELP HELP GET ME OUTA HERE DAMMMIT...!!!!
I'm waiting for the Epiphone Kirk Hammett Peter Green Gary Moore Les Paul Studio VOS version. Of course, then I'll have to swap out the pickups for a pair previously owned and sweated on by Kirk Hammett, Peter Green, Slash, Angus Young, and Joe Bonamassa just so my Studio has more street cred. Then I'll have to wait for Bonamassa to come out with a half hour video telling the story of the day he sweated on the pickups, and who was present in the room as he was sweating on them. Then I'll need a truss rod cover and knobs from one of Rick Nielsen's 300 Les Paul Standards from his hoarding cellar, which will probably cost me a million right there. At that point, I can just send it to Nashville and have Tom Murphy piss on it in his "lab". Then its eBay time baby!
For everyone calling the greeny trash, you have to change the modern wiring to 50s wiring and add an ABR-1 historic bridge. It'll give you the full Peter Green sound.
Nice to hear someone play sweetly and not to anyone but themselves and let the guitar and tone coax them into the journey I just heard in this great demo…. This guitar has nothing to do with Kirk or Peter…/ it has everything to do with who buys it and plays it…. This is proof positive….. a great guitar will inspire you to play things unexpected and pure….. this video would sell me over the name greeny
I’ve got mine on preorder…so stoked. It’s going to be awesome sometime next year when I forgot I ordered it and already spent the money and can’t afford it. So cool.
Weird to see how many people are miffed about Peter Green's name not being present here, when we all know there are good legal reasons and marketing reasons for that. We might know who Peter Green is, but Kirk Hammet's name has already sold a lot more guitars. And it's not like either name is the one on the headstock. I'm not saying I like it. I'm saying I don't care.
I git mine! I waited and waited and finally purchased one with the most amazing top I've ever seen. And i own 12 LP'S! Jack makes that guitar sing. It's a magical LP. Anybody hacking on Gibson are people that simply can't afford one. Oh yea...i paid $2,800..
And if you bought the Shroud of Turin, it would now be “Wally Wanker’s Shroud of Turin?” No doubt it would… It was never called “Gary Moore’s” Greenie. On the backs of giants.
@@nigel900 no it was ]called Gary moores guitar that he bought from Peter green for 100 bucks. And now it’s Kirk Hammett s guitar he bought it . And they are paying homage to Peter green by calling it greeny. Don’t think Kirk Hammett dosent know what he BOUGHT AND WHO OWNED IT. he uses it just like Gary did. When they made the Gary Moore guitar 20 years ago did you cry it wasn’t called Peter greens ? How about jimmy pages guitar should it be called joe Walsh es guitar ? Wtf are you a baby ? It’s kirks guitar. Not Peter greens. He sold it
Must say all this talk over what it's called is particularly stupid. It's still called Greeny, because there is only 1. Kirk loves it ,how lucky he is. I would just like to see it close up once in my life. Arguing over reproductions 😂.
Very weird that Gibson decided to call it "Kirk Hammett" since he only bought it and did not contribute much to the musical aura of this instrument. I think everybody here can agree that this guitar is by definition mostly associated with Peter Green
I understand where you’re coming from and agree, but the most recent generations will know Kirk Hammett’s name LONG before they’ll know who Gary Moore or Peter Green was… It’s just smarter marketing for the current and future generations who can latch on to the connection to someone they’ve heard of. Kirk is the guy making that guitar relevant in the current popular culture now. He’s the one playing it live at the shows.
It's the Kirk Hammett because it's Kirk Hammett's. That's how ownership works. They can't enter into endorsement contract with Peter Green or Gary Moore because they're dead unfortunately.
@@scottjua I feel like the only people that would be interested in buying this/able to afford this, are not of this generation lol they will still be the much older retired rich guys.
Why is it called "Greeny"? It's just a standard faded with a reverse pickup... Gibson is really pushing it these days, and it's not their fault, it's the people's fault for keep buying their crap... so sad.
Well skippy it’s not a reversed pickup. The magnets on the inside are reversed , just flipping a pickup don’t give you that sound. It was a mistake when the original was made. It is a faded triple a top standard with great pickups for 200 bucks more. If your in the market for a standard this would be a good one. Forget the name if it bugs you it sounds great.
Okay, there is a Gary Moore model, but this one could have been Greeny. Gibson has only money in her head, a sales office. + Negative to Hemmet, that he agreed to such meanness.
What amazing playing!!! Jack is a really gifted musician. And the edge of breakup tone is near perfect, perhaps just a touch too heavy to do justice to Greenie.
Great Demo on it I can say it sounds very good. That all being said, the only thing "Greeny" about it is 2 knobs and a reversed neck PUP. If you want just a good Les Paul with a greeny PUP it's a good Les Paul. I think for someone who wants a LP should look into it just to have a good guitar when trying it out. Just my opinion.
Just curious how they cut the nut mine was cut so low had to replace it almost like it was set up for speed metal. Not sure if it was a screw up or set up that way
At this rate.. there will be an Epiphone version before Summer time. Wtf have they done? Started as nearly priceless.. then a copy for $50k.. and it was a super Limited version... then a $20k version for the Rich... now a $3200 version for the normal folks that save up for it. Unbelievable...
Because the real Greeny IS a ‘59. Kind of a roundabout way to get your hands on a kinda ‘59 model without breaking the bank TOO badly, seeing as how ‘59’s reissues run anywhere from $6,000 and up.
Why did they take off the les Paul logo? And why’s the finish satin like the epiphone 1959 les Paul? If I was going to pay that much I’d want a better nitro finish at least
Because Greeny doesn't have the LP logo. As for the satin nitro, that should be leagues better than whatever they put on the 59 epis. It should also wear and patina over the years much better than typical lp standard glossy nitro.
@@trevor4533 I don’t know if this is the case for the person you replied to or not, but many people have the misconception that satin finishes aren’t nitro.
@@trevor4533 the only reason the logo isn’t on the original greeny is because it’s worn away over time, so it seems silly to me to “relic” the headstock in that way, great guitar nonetheless
WTF why is Kirk Hammett's name on a signature instrument that Peter Green made iconic???? I am not saying Hammett doesn't deserve a signature, but what iconic work did he do with this guitar?? Please someone clarify. He bought it... and played a Ka-jillion wah-wah solos! Ummm, ok
It's the Kirk Hammett because it's Kirk Hammett's. That's how ownership works. They can't enter into endorsement contract with Peter Green or Gary Moore because they're dead unfortunately.
Kirk owns the guitar and is famously playing it live now. Gibson doesnt have any endorsements with Green or Moore’s estate, but they do have a relationship with Hammett because they work together to take care of the OG guitar and Kirk has signed on for some signature guitars with Gibson
@@dubster82 Wait, ok so there's a Jimi Hendrix signature thats probably owned by someone thats name is not attached to it. BB King. I understand Kirk owns it and has to cooperate to make a replica, it seems though he'd realize it famous mainly because of Peter Green- Gary Moore and just take a step back as tribute to them. I don't feel since Kirk has owned it anyone has actually even heard the character of the instrument. Just Kirk doing his wah thing. I highly doubt if Joe Bonamassa owned Rory Gallagher's strat, he's going to want his name on it...
@@jumpboy29 your opinion is irrelevant. You feelings for the output of a musician you do not like does not matter. The fact is, Kirk Hammett is wiritng his own music on and touring with that guitar extending the history and legacy of it to a new generation and audience. There will be people that will always associate this guitar with Peter Green, people that associate it with Gary Moore and now there are people that will associate this guitar with Kirk Hammett whether you like it or not. That is the reach and the power of this guitar, that is it's legacy. Because of this endorsement there will also be an audience of people discovering PG and GM that may never have before. And that's only a good thing.
It's just plain sad that the best guitar brand in the world as fallen so damn low. That's the guitar that Peter Green gave to Gary Moore. Hammet is just a rich guy that bought it.
Not much of a Metallica fan, but KH is a legend, not just a rich guy. I don't agree with Gibson selling this under his name, but I don't think that's what they intended. It's just a technically accurate name at this point. I believe they are selling this to Gary Moore or Peter Green fans.
@@tushar8998 the funny things is that I accidentally am a fan of Metallica (at least untill black album) and still think that this move will bite Gibson back in the ass. I too iconic to be renamed. Even Gary Moore himself let it at Greenie
It should NOT be called the Kirk Hammett greenie even though he owns it currently. This amazing guitar has history. It should be the Peter Green/Gary Moore "Greenie" as Kirk Hammett can't actually play and those guys were the ones who the music with it....should be in a museum in their memory
So many haters in the comments lmao
This is a great guitar from a to z and I’m glad Gibson is doing it.
The new guy is a bit handy 😮🔥
Reminds me of appetite for destruction with flipped pickup ..and covers..very nice
I’ve owned a lot of guitars but there is just something about a Les Paul. Great demo.
I have yet to find a Les Paul I like. But that’s just me. I prefer more modern guitars.
Agree. Nothing catches my eye or inspires me more than Gibson Les Pauls.
goodbye jack ! you cant be forgotten
Tell you what it sounds absolutely f**kin class!

Great demo. I’m extremely amused by the OCD twitches to adjust the volume knob without actually adjusting it.😂
Dam Dude some serious PLAYING 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
They definitely got the plugged-nose middle position sound right.
Now that's some fantastic playing, and one amazing sounding guitar. ❤
Damn!...
This must be a very inspiring guitar to play.
I can feel it still got the blues for you and for me.
You guys play so damn well.
Congrats!

Les Paul. Finest electric guitar $$ can buy
I have a feeling that these are going to be sold like crazy
I’ve got mine on preorder…so stoked. It’s going to be awesome sometime next year when I forgot I ordered it and already spent the money and can’t afford it. So cool.
Are the pups wax potted? Sounds amazing
That was about the prettiest damn thing I’ve ever heard on a guitar
What's the amp being used in this demo?

That 1st 5 minutes of this video was beautiful
I just cringe when it’s referred to as a “Kirk Hammett ‘Greeny’” Les Paul… It’s PETER GREEN’S Les Paul! 👎🏻
It is kirks guitar , it’s kirks greeny , just like if you bought it , it would be Nigel’s greeny wouldn’t it ?

Arguing over reproductions 😂.
As it's the "Kirk Hammett" model, have Gibson included subtle adjustments making it impossible to tune properly?
😂
Dig the Southern Rock in a Les Paul standard. Thanks Duain Allman.🌄🪴
are they releasing the 20k and 3k versions at the same time?
Wow, these guys can really play! Nice guitar too
i don't know how it compares to the 50 k greeny sound and playability wise but i sure like the looks of the non reliced standard personally ....
I agree totally. The marks I put on my guitar will be mine. It will show the road we travelled together and not someone else's adventure.
I have Les Paul pro 2
I soooo want one of these

It’s the pickups. From $50k to epiphone they’re the same. Supposedly they’re not? But Gibson never said they weren’t
That's just low down and devil dog dirty!!! Mine will be here by May 9, 2023!!!
What amazing playing!!! Jack is a really gifted musician. And the edge of breakup tone is near perfect, perhaps just a touch too heavy to do justice to Greenie.
Goodlord, that playing is off the charts! The guitar sounds amazing, I'm buying one....
If Jack was anything like Kirk Hammett he'd probably inscribe his name on the plate where he plugs his guitar lead in!
Will this be a limited run or a core model?
This one seems to be a standard permanent model.
Great Demo on it I can say it sounds very good. That all being said, the only thing "Greeny" about it is 2 knobs
and a reversed neck PUP. If you want just a good Les Paul with a greeny PUP it's a good Les Paul. I think for someone who wants a LP should look into it just to have a good guitar when trying it out. Just my opinion.
Just another AFD with different pickuos and a couple different knobs...hard pass
Could you guys do the same with the Epiphone version?
Man the amount of times I've watched this, idk who this guy is but man I love his playing bro I wanna learn this demo soo bad lol
Do they do this in heaven, I don't think so! Great to listen to this playing. Thank you!
Pretty cool, but not as much value as the Theodore… LOL!
Beautiful playing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love Gibson Les Paul standard
I got one of these guys and I immediately returned it not worth the money
I bet you just looked at it and never actually played it. Mine is a resonant tone monster. It’s more resonant than my custom shop R9
It’s the same price as any other Standard. What’s the problem?
Toys/Investments for rich boomers.
Just curious how they cut the nut mine was cut so low had to replace it almost like it was set up for speed metal. Not sure if it was a screw up or set up that way
I always enjoy your playing Jack, but that was extra special.
Pickups sound like crap.
I hope the sustain is great (not in this video)
I could listen to this all day...Bravo dude!
I was hoping Jack was still in house for this demo :-)
Great sound and fantastic playing! Love it!

Right? Heaven forbid they release a version for the peasants🤮
Andertons already do, pretty much.
dindt like the looks even im a huge garymoore fan but great demo hope gibson releases this pickup set aftermarket sounds like a 59
Because the real Greeny IS a ‘59. Kind of a roundabout way to get your hands on a kinda ‘59 model without breaking the bank TOO badly, seeing as how ‘59’s reissues run anywhere from $6,000 and up.
There’s no mention if there’s a long neck tenon on Gibsons website or in any publication that I’ve read so far. Does anyone know?
Won't be long neck tenon. That's reserved for Custom shop
Trogly's said he will have a review of the standard in a few days. He'll take it apart and have a look, I'm sure.
it would be good to sound like Gary Moore with high gain maybe in another video
Why did they take off the les Paul logo? And why’s the finish satin like the epiphone 1959 les Paul? If I was going to pay that much I’d want a better nitro finish at least
