Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, 2-Piece Maple Top, Mahogany Neck and Rosewood Fretboard, dual CustomBucker Pickups
Let’s Start With the Finish
Tom Murphy was instrumental in creating the Gibson Custom Shop; he's also a pioneer in the art of aging guitars. The ’57 Les Paul has an accurate Double Gold finish with a dark back that lets the mahogany grain come through. The Murphy Lab gives this an Ultra Heavy aging, equivalent to a half century of extreme wear and abuse. This means major buckle rash on the body, plus heavy arm and pick wear that exposes areas of raw wood. The hardware is dinged up, too, with a patina to match.Classic Construction
The Custom Shop doesn't fool around when it comes to construction. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically recreated plastics, their attention to detail makes all the difference. In fact, it would be difficult to distinguish this Goldtop from an original ’57. The body is made from solid mahogany and has a 2-piece plain maple top. Your hands will feel at home on the mahogany neck—the extra-rolled binding on the rosewood fretboard makes it feel like a worn-in Gibson.Pickups that shine
Gibson loaded the ’57 Les Paul Goldtop with a set of CustomBuckers. Alnico III magnets supply the warmth; leaving them unpotted adds clarity. A hand-wired harness with paper-in-oil capacitors and 500K CTS pots gives you more sonic space to explore.This Goldtop Will Make You Go Gaga
Finding an original 1957 Gibson Goldtop takes time, luck and a large wallet. This Murphy Lab model gets you the same style and sound, and it’s available now at Musician’s Friend. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and an aged brown and pink Lifton reissue 5-latch hard case.Features
- Mahogany body with 2-piece maple top for resonance with snap
- Mahogany neck with Chunky C profile for historic feel, rosewood fretboard
- Dual CustomBuckers for classic ’50s sounds
- ABR-1 bridge, stopbar tailpiece and Kluson tuners for rock solid reliability
