Here, Tom and his personally trained team of artists use cutting-edge technology and Tom's own processes, developed over years of careful testing, to produce perfect replicas of golden-age Gibsons, each dressed with Tom's brand of authentic, hand-applied playwear, and scientifically reverse-engineered nitrocellulose lacquer, identical to that which the brand used in the 1950s and 1960s. Each Murphy Lab model corresponds to one of four distinct aging levels and features extra-rolled fingerboard binding for a broken-in feel and true-to-life look. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003e1960 was the last year for the original Les Paul Standard, nearly identical to a 1959 model except for a few specs. Most notably, it features a fast-playing slim neck profile, beloved by the many famous musicians who played '60 Bursts including Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Paul McCartney. It also has \"reector\" Volume \u0026amp; Tone knobs and wider \"double-ring\" tuner tips. The Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a clone of the originals from the hide-glue construction to the chemically re-engineered plastic parts. Each one is built with extreme care, reverence and attention to detail by expert Custom Shop craftspeople who are committed to providing an authentic vintage ownership experience. It also features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eSerial Number#: \u003c\/strong\u003eCME01986 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eWeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e9lbs 3oz \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/strong\u003eLes Paul \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Material: \u003c\/strong\u003e1-Piece Light Mahogany \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eTop Material: \u003c\/strong\u003e2-Piece Maple (CME Hand-Selected) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Color: \u003c\/strong\u003eHeritage Cherry Sunburst \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/strong\u003eNitrocellulose Lacquer \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eRelic\/Aging Level: \u003c\/strong\u003eMurphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Binding: \u003c\/strong\u003eCream \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eMahogany \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Shape: \u003c\/strong\u003eScarface '60 Profile \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Binding: \u003c\/strong\u003eCream \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Joint: \u003c\/strong\u003eSet Neck \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/strong\u003e24.75 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFingerboard Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eIndian Rosewood \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFingerboard Inlay: \u003c\/strong\u003eAged Cellulose Nitrate Trapezoids \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/strong\u003e12\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eSide Marker Inlay: \u003c\/strong\u003eFaux Tortoise \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/strong\u003e22 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFret Wire: \u003c\/strong\u003eReissue \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/strong\u003e1.69\" (42.85mm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eNylon \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eHeadstock Inlay\/Decal: \u003c\/strong\u003eMother of Pearl Gibson Logo and Les Paul Model Silkscreen \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFactory Tuning: \u003c\/strong\u003eE Standard (E-A-D-G-B-E) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003c\/strong\u003eAuthentic Stepped 2-Ply Black \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eTuning Machines: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003eGrovers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eHardware Color: \u003c\/strong\u003eNickel \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBridge: \u003c\/strong\u003eABR-1 Non-Wire \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eTailpiece: \u003c\/strong\u003eLightweight Aluminum Stop Bar \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/strong\u003eLaminated Cellulose Acetate Butyrate Creme \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eKnobs: \u003c\/strong\u003eGold with Silver Insert \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eSwitch Cap: \u003c\/strong\u003eTrue Historic Amber \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Pickup: \u003c\/strong\u003eDiMarzio DP100CR \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBridge Pickup: \u003c\/strong\u003eDiMarzio DP100CR \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eControls and Switching: \u003c\/strong\u003e2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-Way Switch \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eElectronics Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003eCTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers and Paper-in-Oil Capacitors \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eCase: \u003c\/strong\u003eGWW Aged Hardshell Case\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40664418680967,"sku":"LPR60M2M17689-CME01986","price":8696.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/gibson-electric-guitars-solid-body-gibson-custom-shop-murphy-lab-1960-les-paul-standard-heritage-cherry-sunburst-ultra-heavy-aged-w-dimarzio-super-distortions-grovers-lpr60m2m17689-cm.jpg?v=1699024975","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-murphy-lab-1960-les-paul-standard-1299308","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
