My favourite thing about Kirk is that when he starts talking about guitars and playing guitars, he has that almost childlike teenage enthusiasm that is so endearing and relatable. Just a love for music and music creation

[@frazerspooner7683]

Kirk carving his initials into Greeny is such a brilliant display of why he deserves to own it. It's only worth millions if it's going to auction, as it stands it's a working man's instrument and that little touch of "vandalism" is a brilliant reminder that the real value is in the legacy of the mavericks that have paved the way for us to even have such a strong opinion on an inanimate object in the first place.

[@NOBodYnose022]

I don't believe any instrument is "worth" millions, it's just that people with that kind of $$ are usually ruthless and will buy things to brag that they more than you. Then they'll put in a glass case to look at it and never touch it and ol greeny will be crying to be let out to play. Hooray capitalism

[@RoadWarrior77]

I think that by carving his initials into it, it makes the guitar more special. It makes it more unique in a fashion. I would say that it is like papers on registered animal breeds. You can tell that Peter Green personalized it for himself, and then Gary Moore personalized it for himself. Kirk is just adding on to the tradition.

[@DarraghQuinn-d8o]

The neck on Greeny already broke, so ....

[@RussBMCSGT]

@ lol, I 100% asked him that. If you watch this video you’ll get why. No, I did not expect him to say yes I said it more to be funny because he’s said the same thing about letting “anyone” play it since he bought it. But it does make me wonder had Greeny been readily available if he would have said yes.

[@Squall6575]

He probably would have said yes if you asked and it was in his hand at the time

[@RussBMCSGT]

@ that’s my guess too. I’ve played since 1987, I HAD to ask. I wasn’t disappointed as I had no expectation of him saying yes, but as a guitar player I would not have been able to live with myself if I didn’t ask. It was literally the 1st thing I said to him as I shook his hand lol. We did get quite a bit of time to talk to him & Rob after our picture & I didn’t bring it up again. It was just one of those “from one guitar player to another” questions that popped into my head the moment I met him kind of things.

The dude to my right accidentally grabbed Kirk’s guitar cable and jerked Kirk around while he was trying to play. This was back when Kirk prob weighed 135 lbs wet. Kirk looked down, couldn’t figured out which one of us yanked his guitar cord and I became the unlucky recipient of a Chuck Taylor tennis shoe to the grille. 😂 The following day I was at school bragging that Kirk kicked me in the face with a big Chuck Taylor waffle print on my cheek 😂.
