Peter Green

In this video we see guitar collector, Phil Harris playing what is called the "Peter Green/Gary Moore Les Paul" and he talks about how he saw it change from "Peter (green)'s guitar to Gary (Moore)'s guitar". The out-of-phase pickups are also demonstrated, made famous by Greeny through his stint with John Mayall and through early Fleetwood Mac.

In a 1968 photograph hosted on PhotoBucket, Peter Green is seen using an Orange Matamp guitar amplifier head, highlighting his preference for early Orange and Fender amps during that era.

In this video, Peter Green shares part of his guitar collection, which includes this left-handed Fender American Stratocaster (02:18). The interviewer asks if the action is high due to being used for slide and Peter responds with "no, it's just left-handed."

Peter Green used this guitar as a secondary backup for his 59 Les Paul "Greeny". Green used the guitar on Fleetwood Mac's cover of Need Your Love So Bad, the rhythm for Black Magic Woman and the slide guitar on Albatross. He later gave it to band member Jeremy Spencer who used the guitar along with his Gibson ES-117, ES-120 T and Flying V guitars on stage throughout the late 60s.

The U.K. electric blues great and Fleetwood Mac founder often used a Bass VI onstage during Mac performances circa 1969-1970 (i.e., live versions of “The Green Manalishi,” “Tutti Frutti” and others). He also played it on recording sessions for Duster Bennett, Peter Bardens and others.

This photo from 1970 shows Peter playing his Fender Bass VI Electric Bass Guitar through a Fender Dual Showman Reverb Amp Head.

It is also stated on page 206 of 'Peter Green: Founder of Fleetwood Mac: The Authorised Biography' (by Martin Celmins, 1998 edition) that "He now also uses a mahogany special edition Vox AC30 called The Collector."

In this video, Peter Green shares part of his guitar collection, which includes this Tanglewood Memphis AS-35. It takes him a second to remember, "What do they call them? Oh yes, Tanglewood, uh, Memphis. A very good guitar."(02:42) Someone briefly off camera mentions that it is similar to the Gibson ES-335, which appears to be what the AS-35 was intended to copy.

In this live photo from 1967 we can see Peter playing his Gibson Les Paul while plugged in to an early 1960's Marshall JTM45 Guitar Amp Head featuring an old style Marshall Block logo.

In this video, Peter Green goes through some of his guitar collection and the first guitar we see is an Ibanez Iceman electric guitar (0:52). The cameraman and Peter discuss where the guitar was made but Peter primarily remembers that he purchased the guitar in Norway and that Ibanez is a Japanese company.

In this video, Peter Green shares part of his guitar collection, including this Ozark Resonator 3515BE (03:22). "...It's only for slide. I only played slide [on it]."

This photograph from February 1967 shows Peter playing his Gibson Les Paul Guitar into a Vox AC-50 Tall Box Amp Head.

Accrording to this article, Peter used this amp when he was with John Mayal & the Bluesbreakers to get his signature tone.

In the 'Guitar Player' 'Peter Green Talks Life, Music, Demons and Gear in This Previously Unpublished 2003 Interview' (by Elliot Stephen Cohen November 04, 2020), Peter states "I used to have a Vox bass amp with a lot of treble settings that I used for my first guitar playing, and also a Fender Blues DeVille that went to my guitar tech."

It is also stated on page 206 of 'Peter Green: Founder of Fleetwood Mac: The Authorised Biography' (by Martin Celmins, 1998 edition) that "Until autumn 1997 Peter's main amp on-stage with The Splinter Group was a Fender Blues De Ville sixty watt 4x10 combo he sometimes used together with a Fender Twin Reverb."

Peter Green is captured playing a 1954 Fender Stratocaster in a user-uploaded photo, showcasing his thoughtful approach to music, where the song's beauty takes center stage without unnecessary embellishments.

Peter can be seen using this 59 Dallas Tuxedo on Season 4, Episode 9 of the German music show, "Beat-Club" during a performance of "Man of The World". It's unknown if this guitar was used on the studio recording of Man of The World or any other live or studio tracks with Fleetwood Mac. The guitar was later sold in 2018 for around £10,000 by Bonhams Auctions.

In the 'Guitar Player' 'Peter Green Talks Life, Music, Demons and Gear in This Previously Unpublished 2003 Interview' (by Elliot Stephen Cohen November 04, 2020), Peter states "Right now I’m using a [Fender] Prosonic with 10-inch speakers and 18-inch speaker cabinets."

It is also stated in the CD inlay booklet for Peter Green Splinter Group 'Reaching the Cold 100' that Peter Green uses a "Fender ProSonic Amplifier."

It is speculated that it is not Peter's own guitar but a borrowed instrument for the session. He swaps instruments with Mike Dodd to a Squier Stratocaster to play 'The Thrill Is Gone'.

In this video, Peter Green shares part of his guitar collection, including this custom guitar built by Harrison Custom Guitar Works. There is a testimonial from Peter on the Harrison site pertaining to this guitar, where he again notes his preference for a single pickup which he notes in the source video several times.

During his time with the Splinter Group, Peter Green was photographed with and mentioned in interviews that he played a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion.

The particular model used by Peter Green is the Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion III.

It is also stated on page 204 of 'Peter Green: Founder of Fleetwood Mac: The Authorised Biography' (by Martin Celmins, 1998 edition) that "Peter's Dallas Tuxedo was "for home use", although he can be seen playing it on the promo film for 'Man of the World'."

(At the time of this entry the image for Dallas Tuxedo on equipboard is of a Dallas Tuxedo bass and not the single cutaway 6 string guitar of the style used by Peter Green).

The inlay booklet the for Peter Green Splinter Group 'Time Traders' CD gives "Thanks to: Martin, Chris and Jamie at Fender UK for use of the Cybertwin amplifier which we used throughout the album."

The album was released in October 2001 and the head version of the amp did not become available until 2002, suggesting that the Cyber Twin used was the combo.

Green used this dobro on the iconic intro for Oh Well Pt1 along with his 59 Les Paul "Greeny". It is unknown where he got the guitar or if he sold or kept it after departing Fleetwood Mac in 1970. He can also be seen playing the dobro on a Top of The Pops performance of Oh Well Pt1.
