Features We Love:

Murphy Lab Finish

Each Murphy Lab guitar is painstakingly aged to look and feel like a guitar you've owned for years. The aging process under Tom Murphy's guidance has taken a leap forward, with the new nitrocellulose lacquer recreating the look of a guitar that has spent years in and out of its case with its wood moving to create that authentic checking. The Murphy Lab doesn't stop at giving you an authentically aged finish though, they know exactly how a vintage guitar should feel too. When you pick up this ES-345 you'll notice the rolled fingerboard edges, the rolled binding and it'll feel like a guitar you've played your entire life.

Custombucker Pickups

Gibson have not stopped at the aesthetics but have made sure that the pickups here also perform to the same high standard as the guitar itself. Taking influence from PAF tones, they offer a warm, well balanced and full sound. This means they handle clean tones just as well as when you apply some gain. Alnico 3 magnets power the sound here and deliver exactly what you imagine when you think of PAF humbuckers.

Gibson Custom Shop Quality

Gibson Custom Shop is known for their attention to detail and finesse, both of which are present here in abundance. From the comfortable neck profile and the perfect fingerboard feel, these tiny elements come together to form an accurate recreation of a vintage guitar but without any of the complications that come with an instrument of significant age.
