Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.Pink Lucy is a custom Flying V built by luthier John Bolin in 1988 as a birthday gift from ZZ Tops Billy Gibbons to Albert King, one of several Flying V copies King owned and named Lucy throughout his career, following the original 1959 Korina Flying V he played on his classic Stax recordings. Finished in magenta sparkle, Pink Lucy became Kings primary instrument for the remainder of his career following the gift, until his death in 1992. King owned several Lucy guitars built by different luthiers including Dan Erlewine and Tom Holmes, all continuing the Flying V shape and naming tradition of the original.
Guy Harrison of Harrison Custom Guitar Works, a hand-built luthier workshop based in South Yorkshire, built a Peter Green tribute Les Paul replica that Green himself tried and endorsed, sharing it in a video and leaving a testimonial on the builder's site specifically noting his preference for a single-pickup configuration, a detail distinct from the two-humbucker layout of his most famous guitar, the 1959 Les Paul known as Greeny. Where Gibson's own official Greeny replicas, including one built for Metallica's Kirk Hammett, aim to recreate the original two-pickup Les Paul precisely, Harrison's build reflects Green's own stated tonal preference late in life rather than a strict factory-spec reproduction, giving it a genuinely personal endorsement distinct from a licensed signature model.
