Custom Shop '57 Les Paul Standard M2M Murphy Lab Heavy Aged
Color: Candy Red Gloss Weight: 9lbs Serial: 74390
Many of us can only dream about holding on to an "actual" Gibson Les Paul from 1957! One of the things I learned years ago, was that no one can truly get "as close to the original" then the guys at the Gibson Custom Shop. Where you can't lay your hands on a real one, (and let's face it) - even if you could find a real one, in most cases, these guitars are part of the "un-obtanium" collection (!), and are (for most of us) un-affordable!
So - that's where these Murphy aged Gibson custom shop guitars are the best answer! These are "Made to Measure" pieces that are as close as anyone can get to handing you an iconic, legacy guitar model! The guru's at Gibson got their hands on a "real one" and were able to weigh, measure, and figure out a way to get a guitar that's as close as possible to a real life '57 at an affordable price!
The iconic '57 Les Paul has been the tool of choice for countless guitar heroes. Your guitar playing friends will be "red with envy" with this classic solid mahogany/mapletop constructed guitar! Versatile bridge humbucking pickup in the bridge, and a classic P90 in the neck position represent everything one could possibly need in a Les Paul™ model. This authentic recreation exemplifies Gibson Custom Shop's tireless quest for accuracy to the original year of production, from the woods to the construction to the parts and precise contours throughout. Each Custom Shop Reissue is every bit the instrument and statement piece as the priceless vintage examples, providing an ownership experience that is endlessly fun. It features Ultra Heavy Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged finish treatment, paired with heavily aged hardware, simulates decades of heavy play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.
This guitar will become a true legacy instrument to any collection, but PLEASE - play it! Enjoy it! Bring it to your gigs! It WANTS to be played! It NEEDS to be played!

No problem. If you want to provide measurements for neck relief and string height, we’ll nail it. Or you can give more general manufacturer's specs, like, “Neck is pretty flat. Low action. No buzz.” Our techs are professional guitarists - they understand you!
- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop!
- Old School Customer Service! Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!
- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.
You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum. Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal on the phone description of this guitar. Thank you!
