Hell yeah, that guitar is legendary. Kirk Hammet paid two million bucks for it. The headstock was broken clean off at one point, when someone crashed into the back of Gary Moore's van (guitar was in the trunk). Kirk said the accident made it sound even better :laugh:

Green eventually sold the guitar to his younger friend Gary Moore, who used the guitar for much of his career, including on “Parisienne Walkways,” his best-known song. Money problems forced Moore to sell the guitar in 2006 for somewhere between $750,000 and $1.2 million, according to various reports online. It was purchased by Phil Winfield at Maverick Music and, reportedly, later put up for sale on the company's website for $2 million. After that it was owned by one or more private collectors before Hammett purchased it in 2014 from Richard Henry Guitars.

While Hammett doesn’t reveal what he paid for Greeny, he says it was less than $2 million.

“I was like, ‘Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wait a second here. Wait a second. I don’t have $2 million for this guitar,’ ” he told his friend upon seeing the guitar. “And my friend said, ‘Oh, that’s all poppycock. I don’t know where that came from. That was the original price maybe 10 or 12 years ago but that’s since been adjusted.’ ”
