FS: Gibson Murphy Lab '57 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty

What's Hot
tomajohatomajoha Frets: 822
edited September 2023 in Guitars £
The purge continues...

Murphy Lab Ultra-light Aged '57 Black Beauty.

You know the specs, full 'hog body, ebony board, wafflebacks, unpotted custombuckers, new lacquer that's more like the old and most importantly a black beauty that's not a boat anchor at 8.8lbs

Owned from new, as new condition (albeit with the ultra-light ageing)

Based in North Yorkshire, I'd rather not ship given the value but where there's a will there's a way. 

£5000 GBP

    That’s insanely cool… and dare I say it a good price. If we weren’t about to move house…,

    I’m so glad this hasn’t got P90s as I’d be about to become a very poor man. Under 9lbs too, perfect!

    What is the neck profile like? Is the chunkiness closer to a R8?

    yes slightly more shoulder than a R9 but not far off

    That is probably the nicest Murphy Lab guitar I've seen.  It actually looks used and not reliced.

    Played this the other day and it’s definitely one of the best Les Pauls I’ve played and I’ve played ( and owned ) many!

    I’m quite amazed this is still for sale. Meanwhile Gibson continue to hike their new prices…

    Lots of nice words and offers, but I'm afraid it's cash I'm after on this one. Now on the dreaded ebay.

    You should maybe list it on reverb. Fees are much lower.

    Rationalising the collection down to a few pieces so unfortunately the custom is up for sale so I can keep an 'old smelly guitar.

    Few more to follow albeit not as pricey as this one.

    Umm. What's the price? Can't see it in this thread, though I am a bit blind.
