Mahogany and Maple Construction
There's no reason to mess with perfection—this Murphy Lab Les Paul has a lightweight mahogany body and a 2-piece figured maple top, just like in 1960. Marrying two unique woods proves that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.Solid Neck Specs
The mahogany neck has a 1960 Slim Taper shape, a faster-playing profile than the ’59. The fretboard is rosewood; extra-rolled binding mimics the feel of a broken-in Gibson. It also disrupts the evenness of the yellowed lacquer with a wear pattern that matches a naturally aged instrument.Powerful Pickups
Nailing the tone of an original PAF pickup has sent some on the biggest fool's quest since Coronado searched for the cities of gold. Fortunately, the Custom Shop is stocked with the type of folk that rise to the occasion. The alnico III Custombuckers are unpotted, authentically capturing the ’60s sounds of Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney. The "reflector" volume and tone knobs and wider "double ring" tuner tips are period-correct. A hand-wired harness with paper-in-oil capacitors and 500K CTS pots supplies sonic variations; the rest is up to you.Historic Hardware
The Murphy Lab LP Standard has a stopbar tailpiece, tune-o-matic bridge and Kluson tuners that match original ’60 specs. All hardware has an aged patina.Ultra Light Aged Finish
The Murphy Lab puts this guitar through its Ultra Light aging process, showing slight lacquer checking, but very little playing wear. It looks like it has spent the last 5 decades sitting in a case under the bed.The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue comes with a certificate of authenticity, and a brown and pink reissue 5-latch hardshell case.
