This excellent Les Paul started life as a Murphy Lab and then received the RDS Historic Makeovers package. The original pickups have been upgraded to Seymour Duncan 50th Anniversary Humbuckers which bring a character and richness to go for that coveted 50's sound. This instrument comes with its original hard case.
From Historic Makeovers:
"The Real Deal Series (RDS) is a boutique program dedicated to creating exceptional guitars that capture the look, feel, and tone of the most iconic instruments from the golden era of guitar making. Each piece begins as a premium base guitar and undergoes a meticulous transformation, featuring vintage-correct nitrocellulose finishes and aniline dyes, hand-selected fretboards—including Brazilian rosewood—and historically accurate components sourced from RetroSpec. Every instrument is crafted in-house by Daniel Carneglia and the Historic Makeovers team, drawing on decades of expertise from both Historic Makeovers and RetroSpec. Using the same techniques, materials, and attention to detail that have earned the trust of discerning players and collectors worldwide, the team creates guitars that embody the character and soul of the originals. Production is intentionally limited, ensuring that no two instruments are exactly alike. Carrying forward the standards and vision established by Kim LaFleur, each Real Deal Series guitar is more than a restoration or modification—it's a faithful recreation of what made the great vintage instruments so special. This isn't just a makeover—it's the Real Deal."
