Gibson Custom Shop Wildwood Spec Murphy Lab 1964 SG Standard • SN: 205784

Murphy Lab is aptly named because it is basically the musical equivalent of what happens when you give a mad scientist a laboratory fully stocked with warp drives and flux capacitors. With a plethora of resources behind them, Tom and his team have been able to create guitars that are essentially carbon copies of vintage Gibsons. They look, feel, and sound so close to the originals that it's downright scary.

Because our friends at Gibson are the coolest people ever, they were kind enough to allow us to have exclusive Wildwood Spec Murphy Lab guitars. Basically, these guitars receive a little bit of extra fairy dust in the build process that makes them a bit more magical. All tops are hand-picked for exceptional beauty, and they are so beautiful that the cases should probably come with a built-in drool shield!

But, they're not just pretty faces: they're also absolute sonic titans thanks to their pickups. Each one of these guitars comes equipped with Wildwood Spec Custombuckers, and they (to use a very scientific term) totally rule. They are brimming with vintage flavor, and they capture the sound of an old PAF beautifully. The fine folks who make Gibson's pickups also added a little bit of extra secret sauce that improves their articulation, dynamism, and clarity, too. As a result, these pickups translate the subtleties and nuances of your playing so well that the guitar almost feels like an extension of your hands.

I have this in the Gibson VOS, and it is FABULOUS! And I'm a Fender guy! BTW: LOVE the lighting in this vid ... WELL done. And I love how this guy unabashedly and kindly provides a guitar lesson with every guitar he displays. ... And makes them all look like toys in the process! BTW: THESE GUITARS ARE HARD TO PUT DOWN!!!

Reminds me the Truck sound and groove. Awesome instrument!

My favorite gibsons… are the ones that sound like single coils more than humbuckers.

Did you have Gibson change the pickup winding? The newer ones have less of the woody natural tone. They sound different from wildwood sgs from 2-3 years ago

You can tell when Greg is not into the guitar he is demonstrating.

The good ones were the 2000 custom shop Les Paul SG

Sounds lie a electric razor, actually like nails down a chalkboard.
