2022 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-335 Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Ebony w/ Custombucker PAFs, Case & COA
2022 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-335 Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Ebony w/ Custombucker PAFs, Case & COA
Tom Murphy, the Master Artisan and namesake of Gibson's Murphy Lab, was central to the creation of the Gibson Custom Shop and personally developed the various processes on display for aging the finish, hardware and plastics of these instruments. With a quarter century in the saddle, Murphy is a celebrated authority for replicating the character of vintage instruments on the canvas of newly-created guitars.
True to the second-year spec of the 335, tonewoods include a three-ply maple/poplar/maple semi-hollow body with a maple centerblock, mahogany neck with a ā59-spec Rounded C profile carve and a long neck tenon, and a bound Indian rosewood fingerboard. The semi-hollow construction ensures terrific natural resonance and an overarching dynamism, providing an ideal platform for the pickup pair. These Custombuckers have become one of Gibsonās most highly praised PAFs since their introduction, featuring Alnico III magnets and delivering terrific chirp, honk, and bloom, with plenty of midrange-forward warmth and growl with smooth-yet-punchy trebles. Weighing 8lbs 3oz, this Murphy Lab 1959 ES-335 TD has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mikeās Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
