DESCRIPTION:

Slim Neck, Fat Vintage Tones:

“Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson’s legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.

1960 was the last year for the original Les Paul™ Standard, nearly identical to a 1959 model except for a few specs. Most notably, it features a fast-playing slim neck profile, beloved by the many famous musicians who played ’60 Bursts including Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Paul McCartney. It also has “reflector” Volume & Tone knobs and wider “double-ring” tuner tips. The Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a clone of the originals from the hide-glue construction to the chemically re-engineered plastic parts.

“Each one is built with extreme care, reverence and attention to detail by expert Custom Shop craftspeople who are committed to providing an authentic vintage ownership experience. It also features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of natural play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.”

I’ve sold around 100 Historic Les Pauls from the 90s to the present – the wide flame tops are the nicest ones, this one has an insanely beautiful top, which looks incredible from any angle. Weighs just over 9 lbs (9.21 lbs), plays and sounds fantastic. A totally killer left handed Les Paul !

This is a 2022 Left Handed 1964 Gibson Murphy Lab SG Standard With Maestro Vibrola, Pelham Blue, Ultra Light Aged, New with OHSC/COA.

Ordered in May of 2021, this special-order Left Handed Gibson Murphy Lab ’64 Pelham Blue SG Standard is finally in!

Description:
Regardless of the fact that George Harrison and Eric Clapton rocked a ’64 SG™ Standard, that model year was clearly a standout for SGs in general. The clunky side-pull vibrato had been replaced by the dependable Maestro™ Vibrola. The neck profiles had increased in size, resembling the profile found on 1959 Les Pauls™. And the balance, playability and look of the SG seemed to come into its own. For all those reasons, the Gibson Custom Shop is proud to present the 1964 SG Standard Reissue.

Along with the Maestro Vibrola and chunky neck profile, it has all the hyper-accurate vintage specs one could possibly want — original construction methods, chemically-recreated plastics, replica electronics, and more. The result is perhaps the best looking, feeling and sounding SG Reissue yet.

It also features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. 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.

For Sale: Left Handed Gibson Murphy Lab/Tom Murphy Painted R9 Les Paul, 100% Original, Mint!

This is a very rare Left Handed model and not the typical Murphy Lab guitar. I have sold 6 Lefty Murphy Lab guitars, but this is the only Tom Murphy Painted one I’ve seen! Technically not a new guitar, but it’s really As New/Unplayed with OHSC, COA, and all factory paperwork.

This was a Made-To-Measure, Custom Order guitar, a 1959 reissue and ordered with a slim-taper neck: .81/1st fret, .92 at the 12th fret. The weight is less than 9 lbs: 8.80 lbs. It’s a VOS finish in Murphy Burst, manufactured 10-14-21. Plays and sounds amazing!

Tom Murphy’s special relationship with Gibson goes back to the 1990s. Some of the most desirable Gibson Historic Les Pauls are from the mid-90s – the ones which Tom Murphy painted. The figured wood/flame really stands out with these Murphy painted guitars, as it does with this one!

A truly beautiful guitar and an extremely rare, one-off Left Handed Historic Les Paul, and surely to appreciate over time!

Buyer pays $95 FED EX Ground to CONUS. International buyers please inquire for shipping quote.
