The Story

Used 2008 Gibson Custom '59 Les Paul Murphy Aged Electric Guitar Washed Cherry

This beautiful Les Paul is a used '59 Reissue in a Washed Cherry finish, built in 2008 and aged by master of the craft, Tom Murphy to have the appearance of a guitar that's been played in for decades. The guitar has a flame maple top on a solid mahogany body, and it's loaded with two Gibson Burstbucker humbuckers. There's lots of fine details in the lacquer checking as well as bare wood right where your forearm rests. The guitar has had the plastic parts and knobs changed, however the originals are included in the hardshell case.
