Gibson Les Paul Custom M2M Murphy Lab Light Aged Classic White
€ 4.490,00This is a special one from the Gibson Custom Shop M2M Made to Measure program. It's a Les Paul Custom Murphy Lab Light Aged in Classic White finish to give it a bit of that Randy Rhoads vibe. The specs are ebony fretboard, Gibson 490 and 498 pickups, the shop who originally ordered it chose traditional weight relief for the mahogany body as an option, but the weight still is a LP Custom worthy 4,7kg ;-)
This Les Paul Custom is based on the model from the mid-1950s, but with several modern appointments. The body is crafted with a hand-carved maple top, which is fitted to a body made from a solid piece of mahogany with strategically routed holes to lessen the weight of the guitar, resulting in a Les Paul with enhanced acoustic qualities and improved resonance. The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is also made from one solid piece of mahogany then topped by a 22-fret Ebony fingerboard outfitted with pearl block inlays and given Gibson’s traditional "C" profile.
The pickups are Gibson’s 490R in the neck position, which offers the tonal characteristics of the original PAFs, and the 498T in the bridge position, which swaps the 490R’s Alnico II magnet for an Alnico V, thus making it slightly hotter with emphasis on mid-ranges and highs. Other appointments include Gibson’s legendary Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, metal tulip tuners, multi-ply white and black binding on both the top and back, gold hardware and a 1 11/16” nut width.
This one sounds and plays wonderfull. Plays like a modern guitar, but feels, looks and sounds like an oldie. It is setup with fast action and 010 ernie balls. The guitar was played has some bucklewear. The COA is sadly gone.
