2018 GIBSON TRUE HISTORIC 1959 LES PAUL BOTB "FIRST STANDARD" MURPHY PAINTED & AGED LTD (1 OF 22)

If you're a collector looking for a modern classic that is meant to be a collectible item from the moment it's born, then look no further than this Murphy Painted and Aged Les Paul. Hand-painted and aged by the legendary Tom Murphy himself, this guitar is undoubtedly the best spec you can find from the Gibson Custom Shop.

This Les Paul is one of the last batches that Tom worked on by himself, making it a truly unique and special collector's item. The hand-select wood process ensures that every Murphy-aged and painted Les Paul is one-of-a-kind, and the TM initials in the control cavity and under the bridge volume knob are a source of pride for geeky owners.

The all-hide glue construction gives this guitar a special acoustic feel, while the worn-in feel of the neck and body is reminiscent of true vintage guitars. But once you plug it in, you'll be blown away by the ThroBak Koss 301 pickup that seem to have been dipped in a special sauce for this limited run of only 22 guitars.
