The idea behind this collection, according to Gibson, is to “(showcase) Gibson’s most coveted vintage acoustic guitar models with all the tone, vibe, playability, and appearance of a beloved vintage original, without the vintage price tag.”
Made in Bozeman, Montana, The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Acoustic Collection features thermally aged tops and hand-scalloped X-bracing that does an incredible job of replicating the tone of a much older guitar. Visually, the guitars are outfitted with 100% period correct appointments, from bone nuts, saddles, and bridge pins, to painstakingly re-created parts like the original bridges, inlays, and pickguards of these iconic instruments.
Owning a vintage instrument can be rewarding, but it can also be a pain. If you want the vintage look and sound without the risk of expensive, time-consuming repairs (not to mention the burden of custodianship of a real piece of history), Gibson just answered your prayers.
