This model is a custom built Les Paul “Burst” with features unique to the CVG Historic Series. In partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop, we are introducing a spectacular instrument that will give players a guitar that more closely captures the feel and tone you would find in a vintage original.
This is a passion project for our team at Carter Vintage Guitars. Our end goal was to better capture the experience of playing a vintage instrument. By getting the neck profiles, weight, resonance, tone, colors, hardware, and playability that is most desired as close as possible to the original guitars we are replicating, we have created something special.
To date, we have had tremendous positive responses from buyers confirming we are accomplishing those goals.
This Murphy Lab model features:
*Murphy Lab finish with light aging which includes real finish checking, light wear of the finish and hardware, faded Factory Burst color, and a “broken-in” feel for the neck with rolled fretboard edges and glassy smooth fretboard
*Comfortable and accurate neck profile with reduced shoulders like we often find on the original model and is a favorite of our team when we see them on a vintage Les Paul
* CVG Spec pickups custom wound by Gibson to our specifications to better capture the tone of the original PAF pickups
*Hand selected Maple tops with resonance characteristics and figuring similar to what we find on the originals
*Mahogany bodies selected for optimal weight and resonant character
This is not just another Custom Spec factory-built reissue. Our team of Luthiers and vintage experts enhance each instrument with multiple hands-on hours of upgrading key components, optimizing pickup adjustments, improving feel and playability, and play-testing each instrument to squeeze the best out of each one before reaching your hands.
We are proud of our work so each guitar will be signed inside the control cavity for authenticity and include all the team members on the project.
