Good on him! Quite a lineage that guitar has already had. I've got to spend a decent amount of time with a friends real-deal '59 LP and it really is a special guitar. Like a classic car where they just got everything right and it looks the part, sounds the part and sure drives (plays) the part.

Re: Kirk Hammett has bought PG/Gary Moore "Greeny" LP
Dang, I thought you meant LP as in 33 1/3 - thought maybe he'll pick up some tasty Peter Green licks to play. OH WELL.......

Re: Kirk Hammett has bought PG/Gary Moore "Greeny" LP
I've not heard what he paid, but he's worth like $70mil, so even if he paid the reported worth of Greeny ($1mil)....pfft! No problem!
He'll make enough on the current tour to pay for it, I'm sure.....
EDIT: somebody over at MLP said they were asking $500,000, so you can be sure it was less than that....quite a bargain!

Re: Kirk Hammett has bought PG/Gary Moore "Greeny" LP
I think it went for $600,000 when Gary Moore sold it.
If he got it for $500,000 then someone took it in the shorts.
Ouch.

Good on him for buying it and playing it on stage! That's very cool.
Although, it does seem a little sad to plug it into a Metallica rig and reduce it to that 'tone'. Seems like a rig like that pretty much makes the guitar irrelevant. Of course, my comments are all based on my personal opinion regarding good guitar tone. YMMV.

Kirk would be better off buying some Peter Green 33 1/3 LP's & copping some licks.
I see he's a grey hair ol' geezer now, still trying to grow a mustache. With all that loot he could buy one and paste it on.

Re: Kirk Hammett has bought PG/Gary Moore "Greeny" LP
I saw Metallica on 11/07 in Warsaw, I have noticed Kirk played goldtop Les Paul without EMG pickups, now it makes sense. Interesting that it was first time I saw Metallica live and I wonder why I focused on such minor thing ... damn brain ...

Would have been nice / kind of surprised it did not end up with Joe Bonamassa.
Re: Kirk Hammett has bought PG/Gary Moore "Greeny" LP
Joe commented over at the LP Forum that he wasn't interested in purchasing the guitar....guess his other 7x Bursts have cured the GAS??John_P_WI wrote:Would have been nice / kind of surprised it did not end up with Joe Bonamassa.

Re: Kirk Hammett has bought PG/Gary Moore "Greeny" LP
Well there are good reasons not to purchase that guitar. For one, the headstock was broken off and repaired while Gary Moore owned it. That is a pretty big detractor.
Re: Kirk Hammett has bought PG/Gary Moore "Greeny" LP
Well , he better not play it here.

I bought a pair of shoes from a drug dealer the other day. I dunno what he laced them with but I’ve been tripping all day,
