After some high-profile sightings in the wild, on Gibson big boss Cesar Gueikian’s Instagram page and at a Metallica stadium show in Detroit, Epiphone has officially launched its replica of Kirk Hammett’s ‘Greeny’ 1959 Les Paul Standard – and it is one for the ages.
These top-tier Epiphone signature guitars are big news in and of themselves, offering pro-quality specs and closing the distance between their entry-level Gibson USA counterparts. But Hammett’s Greeny takes things one step further by debuting an actual Gibson USA headstock on an Epiphone build. You might even call it a Gibson in all but name; and the spec and the price would back that up.
