2023 Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Goldtop – Murphy Lab Light Aged
Dark Back with Factory Black Plastics
Up for sale is a 2023 Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab ’57 Goldtop in the less common Dark Back configuration with factory black plastics — a more aggressive and vintage-correct aesthetic compared to the typical cream/natural back examples.
This is a collector-owned instrument and has seen virtually no play time.
Features:
• Murphy Lab Light Aging
• Dark mahogany back
• Factory black pickup rings & guard
• Custombuckers
• 1957 spec (no weight relief)
• Chunky ’57 neck profile
• Nitrocellulose lacquer finish
• Original Lifton-style case
• COA included
• Gibson Garage setup card included
Condition: Excellent / near mint. Zero fret wear. No modifications. No breaks, repairs, or issues. All original.
Professionally set up at the Gibson Garage and stored properly in its case in a climate-controlled environment.
The Dark Back paired with black plastics gives this guitar a distinct early-’50s visual character and sets it apart from most Murphy Lab Goldtops currently available.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions. No trades.
