Seeing Gibson take on my 1979 Flying V like this is sort of like falling in to a Time Machine ! Not only because I’m remembering all of the heavy riffs we created in the past but because it’s totally inspiring me to come up with new ones for the future. This V flys in every direction !!

Ask a guitar fanatic what the number 9 2208 refers to, and they know right away, it’s Greeny. No other guitar has earned legendary status like this magical 1959 Les Paul Standard. The Custom Shop is proud to honor this legacy and bring this magic to more players with the global launch of the @kirkhammett “Greeny” 1959 Les Paul Standard Made 2 Order featuring Indian rosewood and Murphy Lab aging.
A 1959 Les Paul Standard is one of the most coveted and valuable guitars ever, but one particular example, “Greeny,” is famous for both its incredible story and its iconic sound. Originally owned by Peter Green, Greeny was used throughout his time with Fleetwood Mac and started as a bright cherry red sunburst, but after countless shows, it faded to a pale-yellow color. Greeny’s distinctive sound is partially from the out-of-phase middle switch position due to the neck pickup’s reversed magnetic polarity. In the 1970s, Peter sold Greeny to Gary Moore, who used it for three decades with Thin Lizzy and as a solo artist, even recording an album titled “Blues for Greeny.” After years together, Greeny was sold and temporarily retired, left waiting for a chance to return to the stage.
Now owned by Kirk Hammett, Greeny has officially passed through the hands of three legendary guitarists. Now you can add your own chapter to the legend of Greeny. Available now at Gibson.com or an Authorized Custom Shop Dealer.

Do you know what the albums Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, …And Justice for All, and The Black Album all have in common? In addition to being among the greatest albums in metal, ALL of these albums featured Kirk Hammett‘s 1979 Gibson Flying V. This particular Flying V was Kirk’s first Gibson, and he still plays it to this day. The Gibson Custom Shop is excited to announce that we have partnered with Kirk to recreate one of the most important heavy metal guitars of all time, his 1979 Flying V.
