Personal Thoughts:
This is a seriously classy Murphy Lab Les Paul Custom and a particularly unusual alternative to the traditional Black Beauty. The TV White finish gives the guitar a bold but elegant appearance, working beautifully with the ebony fingerboard, elaborate Custom inlays and aged gold hardware. The Ultra Light Aged treatment adds subtle lacquer checking, small impressions and a gently broken-in appearance without making it feel excessively worn.

The one-piece mahogany body is central to the ’57 Custom character, giving the guitar a slightly different response from a maple-topped Les Paul. It should offer plenty of warmth, depth and midrange authority, while the ebony fingerboard adds definition and a quicker attack. The substantial Chunky C neck reinforces the vintage feel, while the Plek’d Historic Medium Jumbo frets provide smooth, accurate playability.

The unpotted Alnico III Custombuckers complete the specification with an open, responsive voice that reacts beautifully to changes in picking strength and control settings. A distinctive, luxurious Murphy Lab build that combines the authority of a ’50s Les Paul Custom with one of Gibson’s most striking finishes.

Condition Report:
Mint condition beyond the original factory-applied Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged treatment. The lacquer checking, subtle dings, tarnishing and aged appearance are intentional factory features and should not be mistaken for subsequent damage. Brand-new overseas import supplied with its original Gibson Custom hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
