Gibson Murphy Lab 2022 Custom Shop 1956 Les Paul Standard - Goldtop Ultra Light Aging

The Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue is a golden transmission from Gibson’s most legendary era, meticulously recreated and lightly aged for authentic, road-worn soul. Built in 2022 and rarely played, this example remains in Excellent condition, offering all the magic of a vintage original without the miles. From its all-solid wood construction and hot hide glue assembly to its vintage-correct gold finish and historic narrow/tall frets, every detail reflects Gibson Custom Shop’s uncompromising pursuit of accuracy, tone, and feel.

1956 was the only full year the Les Paul featured both P-90 pickups and the revolutionary ABR-1 adjustable bridge, delivering searing midrange bite, dynamic response, and singing sustain. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aging subtly bends time—adding gentle checking, softened edges, and lightly aged hardware for the look and feel of a well-loved Golden Era instrument. It’s a stellar blend of vintage power and modern precision, ready to light up new constellations at Interstellar Guitars.
