GIBSON CUSTOM SHOP LIMITED EDITION 1957 LES PAUL REISSUE MURPHY LAB ULTRA HEAVY AGED - MUSTARD GOLD

This Limited Edition '57 Les Paul takes the legendary Goldtop formula and pushes the vintage aesthetic even further with a killer Mustard Gold Ultra Heavy Aged finish. A solid mahogany body, maple top, chunky '50s neck profile, and long neck tenon provide the substantial feel, resonance, and sustain that define a great Golden Era Les Paul.

Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aging adds extensive checking, wear, and unmistakable broken-in character, while the rosewood fingerboard and vintage-inspired construction complete a Les Paul that looks and feels like it's already lived a lifetime of music.

JACKSON CUSTOM SHOP KORINA SL2H FR HEAVY RELIC - FERRARI RED OVER BLACK (EMPIRE MUSIC SPEC)

Designed exclusively by Empire Music, this Custom Shop Soloist is part of our Korina series inspired by the legendary instruments that helped define Jackson's place in hard rock and metal. Korina construction is paired with a caramelized maple neck and ebony fingerboard for warmth, resonance, sustain, and the fast feel you'd expect from a world-class Jackson.

The killer Ferrari Red over Black Heavy Relic finish brings serious attitude, while neck-through construction, 24 frets, pearl sharkfin inlays, and a Floyd Rose complete this unmistakably Jackson build. Another unique creation from our exclusive collaboration with the Jackson Custom Shop.
