The Gibson Custom Shop do some pretty special stuff, whether it be re-issues of our favourite guitars of years gone by, or turning dream guitars into reality. The Gibson Custom Shop can do it all. The Murphy Lab team is a dedicated group of people within the Custom Shop who specialise in ageing guitars to look exactly like vintage golden era instruments. Headed by legendary builder "Tom Murphy", these guitars are the pinnacle of Gibson.
The Gibson J-45 is one of the most iconic acoustic guitars of all time. Since its release back in 1942, it has developed a reputation as the finest workhorse acoustic around; with its full, rich tone and effortless playability it's easy to understand why. 1955 was a significant year in the history of the J-45 model. It was when Gibson lengthened the fretboard and added a 20th fret to the J-45. Around the same time, the teardrop pickguard used on the earlier models was dropped in favour of a larger 50s-styled pickguard. This Murphy Lab 1955 J-45 pays tribute to those a classic mid 50s work horse!
This Murphy Lab 1955 J-45 features a Thermally Aged Sitka Sprue top alongside Mahogany back and sies. This is one of the most iconic and legendary tonewood pairings around, and its easy to see why! Together, they create a really balanced tone with incredible projection, which is further enhanced by the classic x-bracing. The Vintage Sunburst finish is visually stunning and features some awesome lacquer checking, the attention to detail is second to none! You can expect to see some light lacquer cracking across the whole guitar, along with some small dings. Gibson have done a great job at replicating what a well looked after vintage acoustic looks like today!
The Mahogany neck is super comfortable and great for both bold chord work and subtle fingerstyle playing. It features a 24.75 scale length, alongside a Round profile, 48.815mm nut width, 20 frets, and Mother of Pearl dot inlays
With Strap style open back tuners, and a traditional belly-up bridge design, you can expect great stability and performance. A period-correct Gibson Custom hardshell case is also included to keep this beautiful guitar safe when not in use, and a certificate of authenticity is also included.
