2018 Gibson Custom Shop Tom Murphy Painted Brazilian 1959 Les Paul Reissue
2018 Tom Murphy painted Brazilian '59 reissue. This guitar is from a run of 20 that were done for a Japanese dealer in 2018 and then sat at Gibson for over a year due to the Japanese dealers not being able to get the CITES approval for import into Japan, so in August of 2019 the guitars were offered to the top US dealers. This run of R9's had "Handpicked" woods, Tom Murphy painted including a more faded and very vintage accurate back color and Brazilian rosewood fingerboads. The burst finish on this guitar is Tom's "Weak Tea Burst" over a real vintage looking eastern maple top, guitar weighs 8 lbs 12 ounces, super comfortable "C" shape neck that measures: 1st fret - .870", 12th fret - .971", super dark and just about black Brazilian board, Custombucker pickups that read: bridge - 7.84K, neck - 7.77K, the control cavity and hang tag are both initialed by Tom. This is a killer looking, sounding and playing guitar! Guitar is still in like new condition and comes with hang tags, warranty paper, Murphy certificate and reissue Lifton case.
