USED Gibson Custom Shop / Murphy Lab 1956 Les Paul Gold Top Ultra Light Aged Double Gold [03]

A used 2026 Murphy Lab 1956 Les Paul Gold Top Ultra Light Aged has arrived!
Led by Master Artisan Tom Murphy, “Murphy Lab” has created this model featuring an “Ultra Light Aged” finish that recreates the look of a vintage guitar that has been carefully stored in its case.

It faithfully recreates specifications that fans will love, including the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop tailpiece—first introduced in 1956—as well as the lower logo design used from the early to mid-1950s.

The wood configuration consists of a two-piece plain maple top, a one-piece lightweight solid mahogany back, a solid mahogany neck, and an Indian rosewood fingerboard.
It is equipped with two Custom Soapbar P-90 pickups. Although they are single-coil pickups, they offer a vintage sound that cannot be achieved with standard P-90s—a rich midrange coexists with clear, crisp highs.

An ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer developed by Murphy Labs reproduces authentic weather checking. Although not visible at present, you’ll likely be able to enjoy the patina—a characteristic aging effect unique to Goldtops—in the future.

Due to the aged finish, the details of any subsequent scratches are unclear, but the guitar is in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear. The neck is in perfect condition, and the frets show almost no wear.

The sheen of the fingerboard, the texture of the ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer, and the realistic aging all enhance its premium feel. Weighing just 3.86 kg, it’s lightweight and has excellent tone; with all accessories included, this is a highly recommended collector’s item!
