What Makes the Gibson Les Paul Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged Special?

Murphy Lab instruments are designed to recreate the appearance, feel and character of genuinely well-played vintage Gibson guitars.

This example also retains all-original hardware and its original hardcase, while its professionally repaired neck fracture is clearly reflected in its condition.
