Tom Murphy, the Master Artisan and namesake of the newly created Murphy Lab, was central to the creation of the Gibson Custom Shop and personally developed the process of aging guitars. For 25 years, he has been replicating the vibe and character of vintage instruments on the canvas of newly-created guitars.With a deep knowledge of authentic instruments, passion for his work, and visionary creativity, Tom has developed the tools and techniques to age guitars with more accuracy and attention to detail than ever before.As the flagship model from Gibson Custom Shop, the Les Paul Custom lives up to the high standards set by its 1950s archetype while evolving to a level of tone and performance more suited to today's musical demands. Beneath the layers of its appointments lies the crisp, edgy voice of a matched 490/498 humbucker set, a solid Ebony fingerboard, a long neck tenon for maximum sustain and a two-piece maple top over a solid mahogany body which adds the perfect amount of sonic bite to everything from jazz to hard rock. It sounds as good as it looks, and it looks as good as it sounds!Other Features Include:Body Style Les PaulBody Shape Les PaulTop 2-Piece Plain MapleBack 1-Piece MahoganyBinding Multi-plyBody Finish Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerWeight Relief 9-HoleProfile 50s Rounded Medium CScale Length 628.65 mm / 24.75 inFingerboard Material EbonyFingerboard Radius 304.8 mm / 12 inFret Count 22Frets Medium-JumboNut Material CorianNut Width 42.85 mm / 1.687 inEnd Of Board Width 56.89 mm / 2.239 inInlays Mother of Pearl BlockJoint Long TenonFinish GoldBridge Tune-O-MaticTailpiece Stop BarTuning Machines Grover KidneyPickguard Black Multi-PlyTruss Rod 2-way AdjustableTruss Rod Cover 2-Ply Engraved Les Paul CustomControl Knobs Black Speed KnobsSwitch Tip CreamSwitch washer BlackJack Plate Cover Gold-plated BrassControl Covers BlackStrap Buttons BrassMounting Rings Black M69Pickup Covers Gold-PlatedNeck Pickup 490R HumbuckerBridge Pickup 498T HumbuckerControls 2 500K CTS Volume Pots, 2 500K CTS Tone Pots, Hand-Wired Harness, Switchcraft Toggle SwitchPickup Selector 3-Way SwitchcraftOutput Jack SwitchcraftStrings Gauge .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046Case Custom Shop HardshellAccessories Certificate of Authenticity BookletLPC-PSL2105210 lbs 1 ozCS400740For more information on this Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom, please contact us.
