Do not miss! ~Murphy Lab~ Murphy Lab is a newly established laboratory within the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville that uses the latest technology based on scientific testing to age guitars (vintage guitars). We specialize in processing that reproduces the appearance and playing feel that has changed over time. Tom Murphy, a founding member of the Gibson Custom Shop and project leader for the development of the Historic Collection, has been active in the aging technique that brings vintage look and feel to new guitars. . Thanks to Tom's passion for vintage guitars and his deep knowledge of vintage guitars, he has successfully recreated the natural lacquer cracks and playing wear of Gibson guitars. Tom Murphy and Gibson scientifically analyzed nitrocellulose lacquer from the 1950s and 1960s, which develops cracks called weather check over time, unraveling the process of change, and testing prototypes of all models. In addition, we have developed a lacquer process that recreates the vintage-like natural weather check. Murphy Lab was conceived when Tom Murphy led his team at the Gibson Custom Shop and began testing a variety of body shapes, finishes, and aging levels based on prototypes. As a result, it was established within the Gibson Custom Shop to perform aging that pursues unprecedented reality and commitment. Tom Murphy's presence and many of his artistic works have played an important role in Gibson's history, and will forever be passed down as Murphy Lab. This machine is a 1959 ES-355 Reissue that has been given "Light Aged" which is the second mildest aging level among the four stages. The ES-355 is positioned as a Les Paul Custom, an upgraded model of Les Paul, and is characterized by the luxurious decorations typical of higher-end models. The ES-355 has a luxurious feel and an overwhelmingly solid presence, such as the sparkling split diamond inlay on the top of the head, multi-ply cell binding that sharply tightens the outline, all gold hardware and jet black ebony fingerboard. It creates an atmosphere that is different from -335. The center block uses a drill hole without a window, similar to the ES-335 from the same period. Light Aged expresses damage such as slight dents and peeling of paint, realistic paint color and weather check. The fingerboard edges are rolled, giving players an excellent grip. The basic specifications adopt the latest Historic Spec. Still equipped with unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, updated assembly, and True Historic parts. The sharp response that follows your picking will magically make you fall in love with Gibson tone from the moment you plug your guitar into the amp! Not only does it have good sound clarity when the tone is turned down, but the controllable assembly maintains just the right amount of brightness even when the volume is turned down, making it a great match for modern usage! !
