Wildwood has a long and storied history of collaboration with Tom Murphy, and the Wildwood Spec by Tom Murphy series is one of the most popular runs of guitars in Wildwood history. Because Tom is an awesome guy, he is still going to hand-paint some Murphy Lab guitars for us when he can. With his master's touch, Tom puts an absolutely exquisite finish on these guitars before handing them over to the Murphy Lab team for aging. These guitars are an opportunity to experience the handiwork of a true master craftsman, and we are privileged to showcase them.
This particular Murphy Lab marvel is a reissue of 1960 Les Paul, a highly sought-after guitar that marked the final year of the Les Paul's original production run. Throughout rock and roll history, players have gravitated towards the '60 Les Paul because of its slim, uber-fast neck profile and stylish looks. This model captures the thrill of playing a real '60 LP with its period-correct cosmetic appointments and superb electronics, and it delivers an absolutely marvelous playing experience.
