Personal Thoughts:
There’s something especially nostalgic and powerful about a Silverburst Les Paul Custom—and this Murphy Lab example nails it. The ultra light aging gives just the right amount of vintage mojo without going overboard. The ebony board is snappy and responsive, while the Custombuckers deliver creamy neck tones and bold, articulate bridge sounds. It’s everything you'd want from a top-tier LP Custom but with a broken-in, stage-ready feel from day one.
 
Condition Report:
Mint. No marks beyond the intentional aging from the Murphy Lab process. Very clean, no fret wear, and still has that “new guitar” smell. Shop-owned and unplayed since import.
