The Story

1956 Les Paul Made 2 Measure Murphy Lab Light Aged Black

A fun spin-off of one of Rocks most famous Les Pauls! This is a Made 2 Measure '56 Les Paul reissue given a Murphy Lab Light Aged treatment to the black finish. It's loaded up with a soapbar P-90 neck pickup as you would find on a '56 Les Paul and modded out with a Custombucker in the bridge position. A Bigsby is onboard for all of your vibrato needs. There's tons of cool-factor to this one, and it certainly is a useful musical tool with its two different pickups in there!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
