Peter Green's '59 which is now owned (or stolen if you believe some) by Gary Moore.

 

Lemon Burst (also notice the different tone/vol knobs for the bridge pup). I can only hope my "Greeny" will fade like the original!

I don't know Kuz . . . maybe you want your guitar to take on the persona of the original . . . but, I kinda like your top better than the original. Your's has better flame, more character less dark birch markings and in my opinion, just the right color. If it was my guitar, I would be hoping that it didn't fade at all from where it is.

Well, honestly, truth be told, I hope my "Greeny" stays just like it is now. My "Greeny" was always supposed to be more of a tribute than an actual copy/replica of Peter Green's guitar. I originally had the reflector knobs on the bridge volume & tone knobs, but I never liked reflector knobs, so I put the originals back on. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted my "Greeny" to it's own personality. Not a copy of someone's. I did go with Throbak Peter Green pickups with the out of phase tone in the middle position. And contrary to what Tulk1 may say (LOL he's one of my buddies), the guitar rocks in the middle out of phase position!!!!

Just because I love posting Heritage porn....gallery_1051_3_125641.jpg

 

Fred, you're sick. You should be ashamed of yourself. What do you think you are doing posting content like this on the HOC web site. Are you trying to incite a riot, a veritable stampede to Parsons Street so everyone can have one? Unbelievable.

Agree with the taking on it's own personality. It's got tons of character and personality just the way it is. It's beautiful!!

That is a sexy pic of a 150, isn't it?

 

Sunlight through a window illuminated the guitar. The figuring on that one is nice, but only fully shows up in certain situations..

You sure have great taste in guitars. And a way with words when you speak of them. A true love affair.

Rock on

Thanks for this post and the photos. These were obviously taken at a guitar show. Mind if I ask which show it was? Buy the way . . the next to the last photo . . the one with the guitar lying down in its case . . . not the one with the Bigsby . . the one with the stop TP . . . . that's what it's all about man. That's pure heaven!

 

Hi, the pics are from The Vintage Guitar show in Philly this past weekend.

I was afraid of that. It's the only Fall Philly I've missed in the last 5 years. Thanks for your response.

I believe Gary Moore sold the Peter Green Les Paul several years ago. He needed money for an operation and had no medical insurance. Here are a few pics of my H-150 Ultra in VSB.
