The Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Reissue Murphy Lab Double Gold is a stunning tribute to one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, capturing the elegance, power, and timeless appeal that defined the original Goldtop era. With its classic double gold finish, solid mahogany body, and plain maple top, this reissue delivers the unmistakable look and feel that made the 1957 Les Paul a favorite of legendary players, all recreated with obsessive attention to vintage-correct detail.
Handcrafted with hide-glue construction, a long tenon neck joint, and a comfortable 50s rounded medium C neck profile, this instrument offers a resonant, authoritative response and a deeply satisfying playing experience. The Indian rosewood fingerboard, narrow/tall historic frets, and aged cellulose nitrate inlays completes the authentic vintage feel, while the Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aging treatment subtly simulates decades of gentle play wear for a broken-in vibe straight out of the case.
Equipped with Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups and premium vintage-style electronics, this Les Paul produces warm, articulate tones with rich harmonic complexity and exceptional dynamic range. From smooth, singing neck tones to biting yet refined bridge sounds, it excels in everything from blues and jazz to classic rock, responding effortlessly to touch and volume changes.
Finished with aged nitrocellulose lacquer and period-correct hardware throughout, the 1957 Les Paul Reissue Murphy Lab Double Gold is both a world-class instrument and a statement piece for serious players and collectors alike. Complete with a Lifton reissue hardshell case and certificate of authenticity, this extraordinary Gibson Custom Shop creation is available at Haggerty’s Music.
