Check out this great documentary on the Peter Green / Gary Moore / Kirk Hammett 'Greeny' Les Paul

Greeny

There's only a select few electric guitars that are famous enough to be known by a nickname, and with three famous owners in its history, Greeny is one of them. We've talked to Kirk Hammett about his experience of buying the guitar and becoming its most recent custodian, but this excellent new documentary in Five-Watt World's short histories series gives you a fuller picture.

Keith Williams does a fantastic job with these documentaries and this is another thorough treatment telling the story of how Peter Green encountered the '59 Les Paul Standard in 1965 at Selmer Music in London, buying it for £114, before using it to help shape his most iconic guitar moments.
