Gibson Custom Shop's new Murphy Lab has one purpose: to take expert aging artist Tom Murphy's proprietary techniques to the next level. Here, Tom and his personally trained team of artists use cutting-edge technology and Tom's own processes, developed over years of careful testing, to produce perfect replicas of golden-age Gibsons, each dressed with Tom's brand of authentic, hand-applied playwear, and scientifically reverse-engineered nitrocellulose lacquer, identical to that which the brand used in the 1950s and 1960s. Each Murphy Lab model corresponds to one of four distinct aging levels and features extra-rolled fingerboard binding for a broken-in feel and true-to-life look.Other specifications include:Finish Package: Murphy Lab Heavy AgedConstruction: All Hide-Glue ConstructionNeck Material: MahoganyPeghead: SG StandardHead Veneer: 2019 HollyDimensions: .800"-.900"Fingerboard: 1 Piece RosewoodScale: 24-3/4Fingerboard Binding: .04 CreamNut: NylonInlays: Mother of PearlFretwire: ReissueTop Finish: Heavy Antique EbonyBack Material: MahoganyRouting: SG Standard MaestroBody Dimension: SG Standard MaestroHardware Material: Gold Heavy AgedMachine Heads: Kluson Reissue Double BandBridge: ABR-1 Non WireTailpiece: Maestro VibrolaEnd Pin: BrassTruss Cover: Hot Stamp "Les Paul"Pickguard: WhiteKnobs: Black Top Hats with Gold InsertsSwitch Tip: CreamSwitch Washer: True Historic BlackBackplates: SG StandardNeck Pickup: Custom "S" BuckerBridge Pickup: Custom "S" BuckerPickup Covers: True HistoricMounting Rings: True Historic BlackElectronics: Vintage Taper Pots, Black Beauty CapacitorsCase: Hardshell Case HistoricSGSR61PSL176947 lbs 9 oz#CME01398For more information on the Gibson Custom Shop Instrument, please contact us.
