USED Gibson Custom Shop / 1955 Tak Matsumoto Les paul Gold Top Gold [12]

A faithful reproduction of Tak Matsumoto's favorite 1955 Les Paul!
The vintage 1955 Les Paul customized with 2 humbuckers, which has become one of his main guitars in recent years, has been elaborately reproduced based on the actual instrument by Murphy Lab, an artisan team in the Custom Shop that performs aged processing to reproduce the texture and playing feel of vintage guitars.

The pickups are Burst Bucker Pro, and the neck shape is Authentic '59 Medium C-Shape with Historic Medium-Jumbo frets.
The neck is faithfully reproduced down to the point where it has been refretted, and the fact that the frets are on top of the neck binding is also a point that cannot be overlooked.

The neck grip has been over-lacquered over the stripped paint, and an aged Schaller lock pin is also standard.
The guitar is in good condition with few signs of actual use, although there are weather checks, dings, paint peeling, and hardware tarnishing due to faithful reproduction of the original.
The instrument has been maintained and cleaned at our repair center, and playability is, of course, excellent.
