What we say:
At A Glance:
This Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue Ultra Light Aged Orange Lemon Fade, is as authentic as it gets. Crafted under the supervision of master artisan Tom Murphy, who has a long history with Gibson and a star-studded history of creating vintage-looking instruments. Each instrument is crafted in the Gibson Custom Shop by expert luthiers, then the Murphy Lab takes over. With Tom Murphy's innovative and unique aging process what you end up with is a guitar that looks accurately aged, but also feels and plays like the guitar you've been playing your whole life.
Features We Love:
Gibson Custom Shop Quality
Before ever reaching the final stages of finishing, the guitars are built in the Gibson Custom Shop. Some of the best luthiers in the business build each Murphy Lab guitar with as much passion and attention to detail as any other. There's no better place for the Murphy Lab to start than with an exceptionally built instrument from the Custom Shop.
Murphy Lab Finish
Each Murphy Lab guitar is painstakingly aged to look and feel like a guitar you've owned for years. The aging process under Tom Murphy's guidance has taken a leap forward, with the new nitrocellulose lacquer recreating the look of a guitar that has spent years in and out of its case with its wood moving to create that authentic checking. The Murphy Lab doesn't stop at giving you an authentically aged finish though, they know exactly how a vintage guitar should feel too. When you pick up this Les Paul you'll notice the rolled fingerboard edges, and the rolled binding on the guitar and it'll feel like a guitar you've played your entire life.
Custombucker Alnico 3 Pickups
Living up to the outstanding looks of the instrument is the tone, which is helped out by the tremendous Alnico 3 Custombuckers. Faithfully recreating Vintage PAF style tones these pickups remain clear with a raunchy midrange that you'd expect from the look of this guitar. The bridge humbucker provides plenty of quack while the neck humbucker oozes with a fluid vocal quality that will leave you wanting more.
Highlights:
- Masterfully Aged Finish
- Gibson Custom Shop Quality
- Outstanding Electronics
