Mint Like-New 2023 Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged - Bourbon Burst
The Murphy Lab is named after renowned luthier and Master Artisan at Gibson Custom Shop Tom Murphy. It is an elite division of Gibson Custom Shop that strives to deliver classic Gibson models that are historically accurate and realistically aged, with all the mojo and vibe of a vintage Gibson guitar! Thanks to Tom's expertise, these Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab models are the pinnacle of "relic'd" guitars, with a dedication to quality craftsmanship and period-accuracy in aesthetics, tone, and playability that is truly unmatched.
Gibson Custom Shop's 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue gets the full Custom Shop treatment, with laser-scanned dimensions and only the finest materials used to deliver the most authentic '58 reissue you can find. It has all the hallmarks of a 1958 Les Paul Standard: a Chunky C-shape neck, Narrow-Tall frets and a 2-piece plain maple cap. If you're a player who prefers a thicker neck and a plain maple top as opposed to flame, then the '58 is the Les Paul for you. Plus, it features Ultra Light Aging from Gibson Custom Shop's elite Murphy Lab, for a tastefully aged look and unique Golden Era Gibson character, topped with a Bourbon Burst finish. Plus, the guitar's Custombucker 3 Alnico pickups churn out the sweet humbucking tone that lifted Les Pauls into the tonal stratosphere. With its remarkable historical accuracy and tonal integrity, Gibson Custom Shop's 1958 Les Paul Standard more than lives up to its name with unmatched attention to detail.
