Inspired by Daniel Lanois this 1956 Les Paul™ model features the powerful P-90 pickup in the neck and Firebird bridge pickup and a Bigsby bridge setup, a combination that allowed the Les Paul model to intonate, sustain, and thrill like never before. Featuring all solid woods, vintage-accurate gold paint, authentic replica parts, Historic narrow/tall frets, and Aged Gretsch Knobs. It also features Ultra Heavy Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged finish treatment, paired with aged hardware, simulates decades of play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
