Gibson Custom Shop 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Les Paul Ltd - murphy lab light aged nugget gold
GIBSON Custom Shop Historic 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul (LPR55PSL22553) celebrates the 70th anniversary of the five custom color Gibson Les Pauls that were displayed at the 1955 NAMM Show. This collection is limited to only 70 guitars in each of the five custom colors.
The custom metallic nitrocellulose lacquer car finish is expertly recreated by Gibson for the first time ever. Even the color-matched Speed knobs replicate the knobs on the guitars that were shown at the 1955 NAMM Show. Also features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving these guitars the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era
Each of these guitars features historically accurate 1955 specifications, including a lightweight one-piece mahogany body and a hide glue-fitted two-piece plain maple cap. The one-piece mahogany neck has a long neck tenon, a 1950s Chunky D-Shape neck profile, and an Indian rosewood fretboard that has 22 historic narrow/tall frets, a 12” fretboard radius, and is adorned with aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays. The headstock features a period-correct “low logo” holly headstock veneer and is equipped with a nylon nut and single line, single ring Kluson® tuners, and has a historical 1955 limited run serial number on the back.
