Personal Thoughts:
The Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged finish on this '57 Goldtop is as brutal as it is beautiful—deep checking, lacquer wear, and hardware tarnish that looks convincingly vintage without ever crossing into parody. It’s full-on character straight out the case.
Tonally, this guitar roars. The unpotted Alnico III Custombuckers give you all the woody bloom and midrange punch you'd expect from a late-'50s Les Paul, with just a touch more top-end sass. The neck is fat and full in all the right ways—old-school and unapologetic.
A serious collector-grade reissue that doesn’t mind getting sweaty in a live setting.
