Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1957 Les Paul 3-Pickup Bigsby, Light Aged, Ebony Overview
Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftmanship, quality and tone. Each instrument celebrates Gibson’s legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.
With its elegant lines and Ebony/gold aethetic, the 1957 Les Paul Custom is easily one of the most iconic and beautiful guitars ever made. It features a body carved out of a single large piece of solid Mahogany, unique among Les Paul models. The resulting dark mid-range tone from the body pairs perfectly with its bright-sounding solid Ebony fingerboard. Altogether the pinnacle of guitar craftmanship, design and tone. Gibson Custom Shop is proud to revive every last detail of the original “Black Beauty” for this '57 Les Paul Custom Reissue, from the dimensions and contours to the precise inlay patterns, to the entire ownership experience. The light aging comes from the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightlight aged hardware, simulates decades of natural play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson golden era.
