Wow. Just Wow! At the time called the Melvyn Franks 1959 Les Paul Reissue. The original guitar 1959 was owned by Peter Green, hence its legendary name Greeny, who later sold it to Gary Moore. At the time of the CC#1 reissue it was owned by collector Melvyn Franks. Today it can been seen with Kirk Hammett of Metallica on stages all around the world, and since Kirk acquired it, it has become his beloved #1.
