A quick glance at recent signature releases might lead you to believe it’s Kirk Hammett’s world and we’re just living in it. There was the purple sparkle edition of his KH95X Cry Baby back in 2022, and then a lot of excitement over replicas of his prized ‘Greeny’ 1959 Les Paul Standard – previously owned by Peter Green and Gary Moore – through the Gibson and Epiphone brands.
But those who prefer an all-out metal machine may find such tools a little too vintage-leaning in both appearance and design, with one of the PAF-style humbuckers wired upside down and a Greeny Burst finish to replicate the original’s fade from Cherry Sunburst to Lemon after all those decades of heavy usage.
