The Story

1959 Les Paul Tom Murphy Spec and Painted VOS Murphy Burst 2021

This is a used and in overall excellent condition '59 Les Paul as part of the Tom Murphy Spec of Les Pauls done by Wildwood Guitars. The guitar is painted by Tom Murphy as well as features his vintage-accurate top carve, hand-stamped serial number, and reinforced metal jack plates. The guitar also is loaded up with Wildwood Spec Custombucker pickups that go for a true vintage PAF tone. There's one very small ding on the top near the bass side lower bout, and scratches on the back of the body from buckle wear - but nothing down past the lacquer down to the wood. It plays just as good as it looks, and the original case with the COA is included!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
