Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1961 ES-335 Reissue Heavy Aged (#971)

Under the leadership of Master Artisan Tom Murphy, Gibson Custom Shop's Murphy Lab performs one specific function: to craft artfully aged instruments using the most cutting-edge tools available.

These guitars are targeted to one of four distinct levels of age and wear, ranging from Ultra-Light to Ultra-Heavy. This 1961 ES-335 Reissue features Heavy aging, boasting prominent checking patterns, along with lots of buckle rash, light arm wear, and neck wear.

Think of it as a guitar that’s experienced 50-plus years of life on the road. Murphy Lab heavy-aged hardware puts the final touch on this exquisite instrument. Beyond that, this guitar's extra-rolled fretboard binding mimics the broken-in look and feel of a Golden-era Gibson.

If you seek the authenticity and distinct character of a well-worn vintage-style instrument, there's a Murphy Lab-aged guitar that will feel like it was tailor-made just for you.
