If you have done any research on instrument finishes and aging, the name Tom Murphy without a doubt has come up in your research. Tom is known in the industry as nothing less than a guru of aging guitars.

About a year and a half ago, Tom approached the leadership at Gibson with a 59 reissue guitar he had aged. When they saw the guitar, they knew it was something special and a new department was born at Gibson... The Murphy Lab!

These guitars are meticulously aged to represent the look and feel of an authentic vintage guitar. So much so that you may have a hard time telling the difference between a vintage '59 and a Murphy Lab '59.

The Murphy lab is producing instruments with multiple levels of aging. From Ultra Light Aged to and Ultra Heavy Age. Tom describes this as similar to blue jeans. Some people like them just broken in, some ripped and torn and others like them damaged. Every player will find an Aging level they will immediately love. 1960 was the last year for the original Les Paul™ Standard, nearly identical to a 1959 model except for a few specs. Most notably, it features a fast-playing slim neck profile, beloved by the many famous musicians who played '60 Bursts including Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Paul McCartney. It also has "reflector" Volume & Tone knobs and wider "double-ring" tuner tips. The Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a clone of the originals from the hide-glue construction to the chemically re-engineered plastic parts. Each one is built with extreme care, reverence and attention to detail by expert Custom Shop craftspeople who are committed to providing an authentic vintage ownership experience.
