RARE Left-Handed Gibson Murphy Lab M2M ’57 Les Paul Custom Bigsby | Frampton Wiring

FOR SALE: Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1957 Les Paul Custom 3-Pickup Bigsby M2M – Left-Handed – Mint Condition

Important Condition Disclosure: Reverb no longer permits many private sellers to use the “Mint” condition designation. If that option were available, this guitar would unquestionably qualify. It is exceptionally clean, free from flaws, has never left my home, has spent virtually its entire life in its case in a climate-controlled, smoke-free environment. It has never been gigged, and also includes all original documentation, case candy, Certificate of Authenticity, and original Gibson shipping carton. It presents exactly as a collector would hope to receive it.

This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own what is arguably one of the most unique left-handed Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab Les Paul Customs ever produced.

Built through Gibson’s Made 2 Measure (M2M) program, this Left-Handed Murphy Lab 1957 Les Paul Custom 3-Pickup Bigsby combines the legendary Black Beauty aesthetic with highly desirable custom specifications that simply are not found on standard production models.

Finished in Murphy Lab Light Aged Ebony with factory gold hardware and a factory Bigsby, this guitar remains in MINT collector-owned condition. It has spent virtually its entire life in its case in a climate-controlled, smoke-free environment and has never been gigged, toured, or exposed to the wear and tear associated with regular use.

What truly sets this instrument apart is the electronics package. It is equipped with factory-installed Alnico V Custombuckers with zebra bobbins—the same style of premium pickups associated with Gibson’s highly sought-after limited edition Brazilian Rosewood R9 models. Combined with the factory Peter Frampton wiring configuration, this guitar delivers an incredibly versatile range of tones, from articulate vintage cleans to aggressive classic rock authority.
