The Story

1957 Les Paul Standard Murphy Lab Lightly Aged Ebony

Here's a '57 Les Paul that looks a bit different than the rest, with its newly launched Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab lightly aged All-Ebony finish as opposed to the Goldtop color you would normally find on a 1957 Les Paul. The guitar has aged nickel hardware to fit with the color and patina, and a set of Custom Bucker pickups to provide that classic PAF tone. If you're into chunky necks and black Les Pauls: this is the guitar for you!

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