Gibson Custom Shop M2M Murphy Lab Les Paul Custom Heavy Aged Antique Pelham Blue 2025

Up for sale is an absolutely spectacular 2025 Gibson Custom Shop Made 2 Measure (M2M) Murphy Lab Les Paul Custom, finished in the stunning Heavy Aged Antique Pelham Blue. Combining the unrivalled craftsmanship of Gibson's Custom Shop with the artistry of the Murphy Lab, this is an instrument that captures all the magic of a well-loved vintage original while offering the precision and reliability of a modern build.

Presented in Mint condition, this guitar is exactly as you would hope to find it. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged treatment is, of course, factory applied and should not be mistaken for wear from use. Aside from the authentic ageing carried out by Gibson's master craftsmen, the guitar remains in immaculate condition and has been exceptionally well cared for.

The Antique Pelham Blue finish is simply breathtaking. The subtle ageing process allows the colour to take on the appearance of a genuine vintage instrument, with beautifully checked nitrocellulose lacquer, carefully recreated finish wear, and authentic patina throughout. Every mark and detail has been meticulously applied by the Murphy Lab, resulting in a guitar that feels like a treasured late-'50s or early-'60s original from the moment you pick it up.

As a Made 2 Measure instrument, this Les Paul Custom sits above Gibson's already exceptional Custom Shop production, offering a more exclusive specification and a level of individuality rarely found on standard catalogue models. It is an instrument that will appeal just as much to collectors as it will to discerning players seeking something truly special.

In the hands, the guitar feels every bit as inspiring as it looks. The neck has a wonderfully broken-in feel thanks to the Murphy Lab ageing process, making it immediately comfortable and incredibly natural to play. The fretwork is immaculate, the setup is superb, and the guitar resonates beautifully before it's even plugged into an amplifier.

Tonally, it delivers everything you could hope for from a world-class Les Paul Custom. The notes bloom with exceptional sustain, the low end is full and authoritative, the midrange is rich and vocal, and the top end remains articulate without becoming harsh. Clean tones are warm and expressive, while overdriven sounds offer the thick harmonic complexity and singing sustain that have made Les Paul Customs legendary across every genre from blues and classic rock to modern high-gain applications.

Included with the guitar is its original Gibson Custom Shop hard case, certificate of authenticity, and all original case candy, making this a complete package for both collectors and players alike.
