I am considering selling something very special to a new home: A Gibson Custom Shop Wildwood Spec 1960 Les Paul, aged AND painted by Tom Murphy (not Murphy Lab).

The guitar comes from a collection and is consequently in mint original condition (aside from the Murphy relicing, of course). It comes in the original case (also aged) with all case candy, including the COA featuring Tom Murphy’s personal "Burst Wishes" signature. Therefore, it is the perfect "full set" and the absolute top tier for any collector or as an investment... you can’t get any closer to the original. It features a beautifully deep 3D top with awesome flames from every angle, as well as a period-correct, nicely dark fretboard.

Here is the original text from Wildwood with details on this limited series:

The Wildwood Spec by Tom Murphy Les Paul Standards are so much more than meets the eye. We began by hand-selecting premium maple tops and Indian Rosewood fingerboards, and we carefully matched them to give each instrument its own unique visual aesthetic. Then, Tom did the rest with his wizard’s touch. He painted each and every one of these instruments completely by hand, and they also feature his ultra-accurate top carve, hand-stamped hangtags, all-hide glue construction, and reinforced metal jack plates. To complete the package, each of these Les Pauls features our proprietary Wildwood Spec Custombucker pickups, which we believe offer the ultimate vintage PAF sound. These phenomenal instruments have been personally crafted to look and sound as authentic as humanly possible, and we believe this dedication to the details is why they capture the mojo of our favorite vintage Les Pauls with such jaw-dropping precision.

Additionally, we worked directly with Tom to develop three stunning finishes: a Murphy Sunburst, a Murphy Teaburst, and a Murphy Lemonburst, each of which features a meticulous replication of a UV fade out of a traditional sunburst. Wildwood Guitars is honored to offer these exceptional instruments to our exceptional customers in both gloss and aged finishes for a total of six distinctive looks. Any guitar that Tom Murphy touches usually leaves the Wildwood team in total shock and awe, but these guitars have exceeded our lofty expectations. They've left our jaws stuck firmly on the floor ever since the moment we unboxed them. They’ve blown us away in every way imaginable, and we are proud to present the next chapter of Tom Murphy’s artistry: The Wildwood Spec by Tom Murphy Les Paul Standard.

I am open to realistic offers. Local pickup in 67346 Speyer (Germany) is preferred, otherwise fully insured DHL shipping is available in the EU (buyer pays shipping costs).
