HAND-SELECTED TOP !!

AGED BY MAESTRO TOM MURPHY !!

繼早前為大家介紹的40週年、50週年的‘59 Les Paul 結他，壓軸出場的是這款六十週年紀念版’59 Les Paul 被市場譽為Gibson最好、最復古的Les Paul Standard Reissue !!

2019 年Gibson 公司推出的1959 Les Paul Standard 60 週年限量版，除大家常見的’VOS’ 及一般的’Aged ‘ 版本以外，還有一個更稀有、產量更少的’Murphy Aged’ 版本，由Gibson 傳奇大師- Tom Murphy 親自主理，結他上所有碰撞、花痕及裂紋的舊化整體質感相當自然，更像是因為時間所造成的磨損。

在木料的選擇是更高的Hand Selected手選限定版規格及近年受歡迎的’True Historic’ 系列為制作基礎。從木料、重量、木紋等都經過挑選製作，其面板及琴體均經由Gibson Custom Shop 部門與代理攜手嚴格挑選，更隨琴附帶一張’Hand Selected’ 證書。特選5A級別的超級楓木貼面，在任何角度觀看都是毫無死角。一對Gibson 原廠沒有浸蠟（Unpotted)處理的Custombucker Alinco III 拾音器在聲音上更接近原年經典的PAF 、而在復古的缐路，Luxe 手工電容亦更能呈現結他仿原年的音色。

自從Gibson 公司在2021 年正式推出’Murphy Lab’ 系列後，現在市場上只要是經由Murphy舊化的琴款出了名的搶手，也相當少見，不管是舊化精細度或價值都非一般Custom Aged能夠比較。而且這支還是Hand Selected 手選特別的60週年紀念版，比一般普通版更具收藏價值。

It’s undoubtedly a collector's piece!!
