Here’s your opportunity to own a piece of Gibson Custom Shop history! This guitar is from Tom Murphy’s pre-production prototype run, which eventually became known as the Murphy Lab.

From Gibson:

"Gibson Custom Shop's 1958 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models -- it's a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop's expert team -- a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it's the best representation of the 1958 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era."
