If you want an Aged Gibson, Tom Murphy of Murphy Lab should be the name on your lips. My 1st impression was his Gary Rossington Les Paul, which still stands out as a guitar 'experience', not just a playtest. It felt like a legit vintage guitar, not one that had just been aged to look a certain way. This specific 59LPVOS guitar received the Ultra-Heavy Aging, so it has everything from weather checking to finish removed from the back of the neck and just about every other sort of aging one could reasonably imagine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is made from a single piece of mahogany. This piece is selected for its lightweight so chambering or weight-relieving is not necessary.

Unpotted pickups don't feature the wax potting that many modern pickups have. This can result in some strange squealing or feedback in ultra-high-gain scenarios. However, with clean or overdriven amps, in low and medium-gain scenarios, unpotted pickups seem to sing with a little bit of extra everything that makes the hair on our arms stand up. Each pickup has its own volume and tone control. A 3-way pickup selector grants access to each pickup alone or in tandem. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Head to the Gibson Website to learn more about this 1957 Les Paul Gold Top from Murphy Lab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gibson.com\/Guitar\/CUS39H219\/1957-Les-Paul-Goldtop-Ultra-Light-Aged\/Double-Gold\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFrom the Gibson Website...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe iconic '57 Goldtop has been the tool of choice for countless guitar heroes.
