You are looking at a Gibson Custom Shop ’61 ES-335 Murphy Lab Heavy Aged in 60’s Cherry… and yes, it already lived a full rockstar life so you don’t have to.

This is the guitar for the guy who wants vintage mojo without the vintage mortgage. It looks like it’s been on tour since the Beatles were still arguing… but this one has never actually been owned by a human being. That’s right—all the vibe, none of the baggage.

The Murphy Lab absolutely nailed this one. The finish checking, the wear patterns, the dulled hardware—it’s got that “I’ve seen things” look… yet somehow still smells like a brand new Custom Shop case when you open it. (Figuratively… we’re not doing smell descriptions 😄)

And tone? Exactly what you want:

• Woody, open, airy ES-335 goodness
• Bite when you lean in
• Smooth when you back off
• Basically, it makes you play better… or at least feel like you are

This is one of those guitars where people will ask, “What year is that?” and you get to smile smugly.

This beauty was born on September 21st, 2023 and is in perfect Murphy Lab Heavy Aged condition—which means it looks like it’s been through decades of gigs, but in reality has never been owned or abused by an end user. No actual play wear… just expertly applied cool.

If you’ve been waiting for a 335 that checks every box—tone, feel, looks, and swagger—this is it.

Just be prepared… once you open the case, you may start casually referring to yourself as “vintage.” 😎

Whoever brings this baby home will be completely STOKED!!
