Gibson Murphy Lab Collection Guitars

Experience period-correct, masterful guitar design that has been expertly aged to give you the authentic experience of an iconic Gibson guitar.

Led by Gibson Custom Shop specialist Tom Murphy, each member of his team is trained to use his unique processes and specifications in order to provide distinct levels of realistic age and wear which range from 'Ultra Light' to 'Ultra Heavy'.​

Each Gibson instrument that undergoes the Murphy Lab treatment is a true work of art. These models take a completely separate path through the Custom Shop which receive the Murphy Lab lacquer formula and precise hand-applied techniques.​

The Murphy Lab Collection comprises various iconic electric guitars taken from Gibson's "Golden Era" of the '50s and '60s. Reissued in painstaking detail - from their laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics and colour-matched shades. All elements of these spellbinding guitars are as "period-correct" as possible.
