Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1961 ES-335 Reissue Ultra Light Aged (2022) - Sixties Cherry

Up for sale is a breathtaking 2022 Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1961 ES-335 Reissue, finished in the highly accurate Ultra Light Aged Sixties Cherry.

Crafted under the vision of master artisan Tom Murphy, the Murphy Lab series represents the pinnacle of historic replication. The "Ultra Light Aged" treatment perfectly mimics the subtle patina of a well-preserved vintage instrument, featuring an incredibly dense network of fine lacquer weather checking and light hardware oxidation. This 1961 iteration perfectly captures the iconic "Mickey Mouse ear" cutaway curves and the comfortable, authentic '61 skinny C-shape neck profile. Equipped with unpotted Custombucker pickups, it delivers the crystalline definition, woodiness, and airy compression that defined early semi-hollow history.
