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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last year of the \"Les Paul\" moniker on the SG Custom was also the first year of the Maestro Vibrola...1963. Gibson Custom Shop has proudly recreated this desirable version of the SG Custom down to the original construction methods and\u003cbr\u003econtours. The result is a beautiful, versatile and tremendous-sounding instrument that plays effortlessly. The solid Ebony fingerboard and revamped vintage-style electronics help it attain new sonic heights with clarity and sustain. From the dimensions to the contours to the precise inlay patterns to the sonic experience, it's the top of the line SG in every respect! It features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #:\u003c\/b\u003e 000501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8lbs 1.2oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e SG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody: \u003c\/b\u003e1-Piece Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight Relief:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck: \u003c\/b\u003eSolid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfile:\u003c\/b\u003e 1960 SlimTaper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut width: \u003c\/b\u003e1.687\" \/ 42.85mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale length: \u003c\/b\u003e24.75\" \/ 628.65mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut:\u003c\/b\u003e Nylon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Mother of Pearl Block\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge:\u003c\/b\u003e ABR-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/b\u003e Long Maestro Vibrola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKnobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Top Hats with Gold Inserts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003eGrover Kidney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlating: \u003c\/b\u003eGold; Murphy Lab Light Aged\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck pickup:\u003c\/b\u003e Custombucker Alnico 3 (Unpotted)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiddle pickup: \u003c\/b\u003eCustombucker Alnico 3 (Unpotted)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge pickup: \u003c\/b\u003eCustombucker Alnico 3 (Unpotted)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls:\u003c\/b\u003e 2 Volume, 2 Tone, CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers, Black Beauty Capacitors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Custom Shop Hardshell","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39272092598407,"sku":"SGC63ULCWGM1-000501","price":5489.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/gibson-electric-guitars-solid-body-gibson-custom-shop-murphy-lab-1963-les-paul-sg-custom-reissue-3-pickup-classic-white-ultra-light-aged-w-maestro-vibrola-sgc63ulcwgm1-000501-27969727.jpg?v=1647867914","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-murphy-lab-1963-les-paul-sg-custom-1104199","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
