Gibson Les Paul 59 60th Anniversary Tom Murphy Painted & Murphy Lab Aged (2021)

This truly incredible Les Paul was a special order from Musikhaus Hermann. Together with Tom Murphy Jörg Hermann put together this dream instrument with special attention to weight, sound and feel, and the result is a phenomenal guitar with a fabulous look, top playability and a really great sound. The absolute highlight of this Paula is the beautiful Burst finish in the color “Murphy's Tea Time”, which was applied by Tom Murphy himself as confirmed by his initials in the electronics department, and for which he mixed the lacquer himself. Furthermore, a selected, ultra-premium maple top was used here, which enchants with an extremely attractive grain and great bookmatching. The Murphy Lab's Authentic Aging is a perfect match, giving the guitar the look and feel of a real old guitar that has been played extensively. Complete bone-glue finish, solid mahogany body selected for lightweight and the exclusive Murphy Spec humbuckers! These are specially made Custombuckers (NPC TH MCMR and XHCMR, lightly-underwound on the neck), each in the unpotted version, which were modeled on old PAFs and in combination with the super resonant, open vibration behavior of the guitar produce an absolute top sound. Airy, transparent and still nicely smacking. Even without an amplifier the Les Paul impresses with its dry, woody vintage character. At the amp the Murphy pickups enchant with growling basses, wiry mids and radiant highs and show their full potential. It's really hard to describe how dynamic, full of character and differentiated this Les Paul sounds. Here Tom Murphy shows what is possible when the master himself selects the wood and paints the instrument himself based on his decades of experience. The neck with its exclusive “50s Rounded Tom Murphy” profile sits perfectly in the hand and plays extremely modern and comfortable in combination with the 22 Medium Jumbo frets and a dream weight of just 3550 grams. Even we rarely get our hands on a jewel like this, which is why it is an extraordinary pleasure for us to be able to offer you this very special Les Paul in mint condition.
