Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Labs Les Paul 58 Reissue
Guitar description
We were lucky enough to be offered this in part exchange recently. A one owner guitar that's barely been played. We've had a nice handful of Gibson Custom Shop Les Pauls over the years but this is the first murphy labs light aged one. This is a truly amazing guitar, an amazing aged look to it and extensive lacquer checking that looks very realistic. A truely accurate vintage reissue with all the right appointments, the frets, pickups, the finish and feel are all hugely authentic. We have given it a full fret dress and set up, it did require a fret level believe it or not! It's all been done to a very high level and as such the playability of this Les Paul is as good as it gets. I have found it lovely and fast to play, really comfy actually. Presented in the 'as new' case with all the candy and of course the certificate. Today the best available street price for these (where there is stock) is £5.5k.
