The Music Zoo's Exclusive Murphy Ultra Aged '59 Les Paul's from Gibson Custom Shop are hard to come by, but we have one of these fantastic guitars here in stock. It's been aged by restoration and aging expert Tom Murphy from Gibson Custom to have the appearance--and tone!--of a '59 that decidedly hasn't been sitting in a closet or under a bed but has been out in the field, working and making music. The Ultra Aged Les Pauls offer the quality build and attention to detail that the Gibson Custom Shop and Tom Murphy are famous for. These guitars start life as a regular Historic Reissue but are transformed by Tom into living, breathing, screaming monsters. Perhaps the first thing you notice when you pick one up is the finish missing on some areas on the neck's back; it's soft, and warm to the touch. Same for the forearm section of the top; it feels straight out of the case like it's been played for years. The heavily rounded fingerboard edges make chord shapes feel easier, and creates a familiarity with the guitar from the moment you pick it up, much like a well-played vintage original. Many people who see the Ultra Aged Les Pauls in our store immediately assume it's a vintage '50s guitar. The expert aging, lacquer checking, and missing finish is nice cosmetically, but serves a larger purpose. It allows the guitar to breathe. Over time new guitars tend to open up and become more resonant, rich, and harmonic as they are played; most Ultra Aged Les Pauls sound "played-in" from the first note. They're "player" guitars that are collectible and happen to be some of the best Les Pauls ever made. And, they are Music Zoo Exclusives. This pre-owned Gibson Custom Shop Exclusive Murphy Ultra Aged '59 Les Paul is in overall excellent condition with no dings, dents or scratches. We're letting it go at an amazing price, give us a call today!
