Description
The Murphy Lab is named after renowned luthier and Master Artisan at Gibson Custom Shop Tom Murphy. It is an elite division of Gibson Custom Shop that strives to deliver classic Gibson models that are historically accurate and realistically aged, with all the mojo and vintage Gibson guitar! Thanks to Tom's expertise, these Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab models are the pinnacle of "relic'd" guitars, with a dedication to quality craftsmanship and period-accuracy in aesthetics, tone, and playability that is truly unmatched.
Gibson Custom Shop's Historic Reissue ES-335 is the culmination of extensive research on original ES-335s, with no stone left unturned in delivering players an authentic, wholly satisfying playing experience. With sharp horn cutaways, small block inlays, and vintage-replica parts, this ES-335 has all the small details of a true '64 original. Its neck was even laser-scanned from an original 1964 ES-335 to deliver players an authentic medium C-shaped neck that perfectly matches the vintage spec. This ES-335 also comes equipped with Gibson's exceptional Custombucker 3 Alnico humbucking pickups, which nail that classic Gibson PAF tone. And thanks to an Ultra Light Aging package from the Murphy Lab at Gibson Custom Shop, it features a tastefully relic'd look that, along with its Sixties Cherry Finish, is sure to draw players in with its undeniable vintage character. With loads of mid-sixties mojo, authentic tone, and a top-notch in-hand feel, this Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 is a truly remarkable semi-hollow electric.
