3:37 Hear that hum? Man do I love p90s!! Just recently purchased a gold top with p90s and it’s fantastic.

You had me at Mr. Speed! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

I always go back to the 1959 Murphy Lab kindred fade reissue whenever I'm there. In my opinion the best Les Paul in there.

I like and have the '58 VOS reissue Standard Les Paul with a plain top (I like understated plain tops over flames, etc.). I prefer '58 for the neck profile -- large neck. Just my personal preferences.

Fantastic sound and feeling men !!! Congrat ! Bye from Belgium !

I have the 56. I want a 57. Then I'd be set for les Pauls. I currently want tele or esquire even more so.

You left out the two black beauties: the staple neck pickup on the ‘54 Custom and the out-of-phase sound of the middle plus bridge combo on the 3-pickup ‘57 Custom both sound awesome.

Amazing tone out of that Marshall.

I lucked out big time with my 58, very tight and consistent flame that you can see even through the bourbon burst by the poker chip

Since Murphy Lab is all over the place, public perception seems to make it necessary to advertise the ‚bread and butter‘ custom shop line - which is also beyond 6k bucks. Why do they even still produce the USA line? How is this justified, marketing wise? Gibson for the poor man? I‘d really be interested in their selling volumes, per these three model lines. I am not criticising their quality, they seem to have changed sth since the 60s anniversary models - baking the wood maybe? - which led to less variance and great tone. The custombuckers are really good pickups. I owned a beautiful 2016 R8 for a number of years, and played, amongst others, an extensively aged 10k Murphy, it was a fantastic instrument and even came on par with my old battered 850€ Greco, pimped with Mojo Beastbuckers 😂 Your videos are always great!

That fretboard is tragic on that R8

[@LPManic]

I like the 56 best out of these.

"Which Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Reissue is right for you?" The one I can afford .... oh wait.

[@TheStarAndTheDespot]

The used one with a repair headstock😂

[@vintagesound8112]

Simple answer - 99 40th Anniversary 59 reissue.

[@phenixreturns]

all these sounds are not those I like : I like Paul Personne, Gary Moore, Sykes, White so all with the neck pickup with a beautiful sound I don't find here so sorry next !
