Gibson hasn’t made me go Daddy Want in a while, but this one, on an Anderton’s video, ticked all the boxes. Probably a custom order they did and costing about two kidneys on the Ecuadorian market. 1954 Reissue Custom in White.

That's pretty sweet!
I like the 54's more shallow carve a bit better, too.
I wonder what the market is for a couple of kidneys in South America?
 
All I know is, it will cover the cost of a new Marshall now. But if we’re talking Murphy Lab, you’d better be throwing in some unused Hollywood babies.
Murphy lab is so ridiculous. Five years ago checking was put under the mojo term around here and wasn't beneficial to the seller. 60s and Norlin Gibsons all day for well under $1k in "mojo" condition. Times are crazy.

I immediately pull my pants down and touch myself every time I see that custom Faulkner V….think that’s his name…dude from Judas Priest…
 
I had the black version of that guitar for years. Great neck, killer pickups but 13lbs is why it's gone
 
Holy shit..they let a historic go out at 13lbs?
To be fair, I sold it around 2005 and I’m not sure I actually weighed it or I guessed it but yeah, it dragged you down. My current 57 Black Beauty custom is around 9 and it’s night and day. It’s always a struggle finding a sub 10lb custom tho
 
It’s nuts…3000£ more than a black one just because it’s white and has some slight aging?
It’s not like it’s going to age itself.

I’ve always said Murphy lab guitars are for collectors and posers that have never played guitar long enough to know they get fucked up on their own if they actually play them and don’t hang them on a wall.

Needless to say when I said that in the official Facebook group for Gibson I was then subsequently banned. Apparently it struck a chord with an admin 💁‍♂️😂
