KH Greeny standard

[ourmaninthenorth]

I’ve never played a vintage either. But I can assure you, other than the “feel,” a vintage instrument is no better or worse than any other les paul. Only rarer. They all sound the same with whatever amp your fav player used. Sans flipped pickups for OOP tone.

Don’t think so? EVH used a PAF for most part in his frankenberry guitar. His son was recently filmed playing a copy and the tone was exact. I had a laney supergroup with a Dallas range master and the tone was exact to sabbath and barely noticeable whether using a vintage P-90 equipped SG or a Les paul with custombuckers. You can’t hear wood in tone. If you knock on it? Yep. But electronically? Hell no. Wood isn’t taken into effect. It’s a load of BS

I'm humbled by the education.

Doesn’t seem like a limited number. Then come of soon will be non aged Greeny

Yes , haven't you heard that they are limited as to how many they will sell .

No I didn’t hear that. But yea. Not like it’ll be unlimited but who cares? It’s not worth the price. $12k? Sure $20k? Hell no!

We might get one of these in NZ, if so I'll have a play, not buying, will put it through its paces.

It’s aged so wear a big belt buckle. No one will know if your buckle rash made it to the back

I've seen other heavy aged LPs that have made it here, only a handful in all, and yes they look like they've been through the ringer well and truly, well done by Tom and the team but not my cup of tea.

They’re made for collectors. And they’re truly not that collectible. It’s just a copy. You can make your guitar sound exactly the same a original Greeny by changing the pickups

Or just reversing the magnet!

I find they’re done pretty good to an extent. The wear marks on the top where picking arm is and behind the neck should be smooth as a baby’s bottom. Not chipped out. So that’s a huge turn off for me in his aging techniques. I don’t rant rave over Tom Murphy painted or aged guitars. They’re exactly the same guitar as any other with him painting it or his team aging…

Looks and sounds just like original. Well except for the west where they chip it rather than smooth it out. But fine guitar. Just not worth it to me. I’d sand off “KH” initials Enjoy that beauty.

I'm almost embarrassed to bring the real thing into this.

There is but one Greeny, everything else simply isn't, regardless of how much scatter you have to delude yourself otherwise.

A shameless move to further exploit this, to many, iconic instrument. It's been done before, by Gibson, and also by the fakers - anyone remember that photo of Greeny alongside the English made fake whilst it was in the commissioned hands of the geezer trying to sell the original, before it was taken off him by it's then owner and placed in proper hands? I do.

I like Kirk, and he clearly loves this guitar, but I do wish he'd stick to just playing it and furthering it's existential legacy.

This dribble has to stop somewhere.

I cherish the time I spent scratching a lifelong itch with this guitar.

I speak not with authority, but with adoration of what this guitar means to me, and has done for approaching half a century.

Long live Greeny.

Long live Greeny.

Long live Greeny!

Simple question….was it Peter Green who made the guitar famous or was it the guitar that made Peter Green famous? ETA, just saw a “pre-owned” Greeny on one of the forum’s dealers website for 75K, BR of course.

It was a combination of the two.

Peter would’ve made an epiphone sound just as good. It’s the player. Though being a LP is was a better made guitar. It’s probably the OOP tone that set him apart from others but his style and lyrics were astonishing.

Killer Score

And now the V re issue… not sure what to think again… it has been done already, re issuing it again does not feel right.
