Personal Thoughts:
This is a really appealing spec because it takes the punch and immediacy of a '56 Goldtop-style recipe and gives it a much more unusual visual twist with the Slow Iced Tea Fade top. The big draw on these, for me, is the combination of the flamed maple top and the P-90 layout. You get a guitar that looks more like something from the later burst world, but sonically it keeps that rawer, more open midrange attack that makes a good P-90 Les Paul so addictive. The Carmelita carve is also worth calling out, as it tends to give these a more substantial and vintage-correct feel in the hand, while the medium jumbo fretwire makes them a bit friendlier for modern players than some stricter reissue specs. Add in the Murphy Lab Ultra Light treatment and it ends up feeling classy rather than overdone. A very cool Custom Shop build that stands out without losing the old-school Les Paul character.
Condition Report:
As new condition. Murphy Lab Ultra Light ageing is factory correct as part of the original spec. No additional wear of note beyond the intentional factory ageing.
