Details
Gibson’s Murphy Lab has been releasing faithful, vintage-inspired guitars for several years now, delivering some of the closest-looking and sounding reissues to their actual vintage counterparts. This 2024 reissue of a 1958 Les Paul Junior Doublecut is a prime example of Tom Murphy’s vision for the Murphy Lab series. This guitar is finished in a light nitrocellulose lacquer that has been heavily aged to create authentic finish checking and wear. The color is very faithful to an original TV Yellow as well. The broken-in feel makes it feel very similar to an original late-‘50s LP Junior. The pickup is a Gibson Custom Dogear P-90, which behaves very similarly to early Gibson P-90 pickups. It has a clear and articulate sound with a bit of airiness, and it also sounds great with some overdrive. Other than the factory finish checking and wear, it is in great shape with no cracks or repairs. This is an excellent option for someone looking for the no-funny-business vintage Les Paul Junior appeal in a modern guitar. It comes with its original hardshell case, COA, and paperwork.
