Tone Shop Guitars Made to Measure Exclusive '56 Les Paul Double Gold Lightweight Goldmine Tone Shop Guitars' custom design team wanted a 1956 Gibson Gold Top Les Paul standard that was extremely lightweight, and aged to perfection. The Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab delivered! Weighing in at the low 7 lbs range, these lightweight golden beauties will keep you playing all night without needing a break. 1956 was the only full year in which the Les Paul model featured the powerful P-90 pickups and the adjustable ABR-1 bridge setup, a combination that allowed the Les Paul model to intonate, sustain, and thrill like never before. This Gibson Custom Shop '56 Reissue captures the look, feel, and searing sound of an original 1956 Les Paul Goldtop in exhaustive detail. Featuring a chambered mahogany back, vintage-accurate gold paint, authentic replica parts, Historic narrow/tall frets, and hot hide glue construction. It also features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
