Gibson Les Paul 1957 Reissue Selected Tom Murphy Authentic Ultra Aged (2019)

Tom Murphy and Thom Fowle, together with Musikhaus Hermann, have designed this unique 57' Les Paul Authentic Aged. The selection of the selected woods, the Tom Murphy Ultra Select Aging and the approval of the Gibson Custom Shop alone took over a year. The result is an instrument that is unparalleled in sound and appearance. Hand-selected, ultra-light, one-piece mahogany body and a hand-selected 2-piece flame maple top give the guitar a far above average vibration response. When you play the guitar dry, you get the wow effect. Vibrates like 50 years played in! The aging is really hardcore! The Vintage Antique Gold finish has taken quite a beating here ... here the pictures speak for themselves. The neck has a medium 59 profile, so not quite as fat as many of the 59 necks, but you still get a good feel in your hand. The slightly higher frets were used, which makes for excellent playing comfort. Alnico 3 True Historic MCMR and XHCMR pickups are used as pickups. Connected to the amp simply pure rock n' roll. The guitar sounds almost like it looks. Super direct, dirty, rocking, smacking and very differentiated. Especially with rock riffs and distorted open chords it plays out its strengths. Pure playing pleasure. At the neck it even has the very light Strat shot for bluesy sounds without mud. Here Tom Murphy has really managed to capture the feel and sound of the old goldtops. If you are looking for an extravagant, extraordinary goldtop, which will not be found again in this kind so soon, this is the right choice.
