{"product_id":"11-2800005279986","title":"[SN 7 4811] USED Gibson Custom Shop \/ Murphy Lab 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Bigsby Heavy Aged Double Gold \/ Dark Back [11]","description":"This guitar combines a 1957-spec Goldtop with a Bigsby and Murphy Lab aging treatment, exuding a distinctive, connoisseur-level appeal.\u003cbr\u003e \nBased on the so-called R7 (1957 Les Paul Reissue), this model features a Heavy Aged finish and a Bigsby tremolo unit. This configuration, not found in the standard lineup, adds a unique twist to its classic looks. While the Bigsby unit may be an original specification, the exact factory specifications are unknown.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe body features the classic mahogany and maple construction, ensuring a solid tone without weight relief. The vintage-like tone, centered on a thick, resilient midrange, is enhanced by the soft tension and subtle compression unique to the Bigsby, creating a distinctive playing feel.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe headstock features a \"Lower Logo \/ Silk Screen\" positioned slightly lower, offering specifications that will satisfy even the most discerning vintage enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nMurphy Lab’s Heavy Aged finish realistically recreates deep weather checking, paint peeling, and the patina of metal parts, giving the guitar an air of having been played for years right from the start—a major appeal. In addition to the Double Gold finish, the dark back adds a striking contrast, giving it a presence that sets it apart from typical gold-top guitars.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe electronics are judged to be original. The pickups feature braided shielding wire and a PAF sticker on the back, confirming this is likely a genuine, factory-spec instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis guitar combines collectible value with practicality, boasting specifications and a character distinct from the standard R7. Don’t miss this opportunity.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe groove position of the 5th-string saddle is slightly offset from the center, causing the string to lean toward the 6th string, but this does not appear to significantly affect playability.\u003cbr\u003e \nSince this is a model that was originally finished with an aged look, it can be difficult to distinguish between scratches and signs of wear that have developed over time; however, overall, there is no damage that significantly detracts from its appearance.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere are no noticeable issues with the neck, and it is in excellent playing condition.\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 7 4811\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 2024\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Genuine hard case\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Certificate of Authenticity\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 4.38 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees left and right with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing\u003cbr\u003e \nString height (low string side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString height (treble side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 42.8 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 22.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 25.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRadius: 241mm (9.5\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, string height adjustment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, or other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
