Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Volume II Murphy Lab '64 Trini Lopez Reissue Argentine Grey Ultra Light Aged #160655

The Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Volume II Murphy Lab '64 Trini Lopez Reissue in Argentine Grey is a masterfully crafted recreation of one of the most distinctive semi hollow electric guitars ever produced. Inspired by the legendary 1964 Trini Lopez Standard, this limited Murphy Lab edition faithfully captures the spirit, sound, and unmistakable visual identity of the original while delivering the uncompromising craftsmanship of the Gibson Custom Shop. Its three ply maple and poplar body is paired with a solid maple centerblock for exceptional sustain, articulation, and feedback resistance, creating a remarkably versatile instrument that excels from warm blues and expressive jazz to driving classic rock. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the Argentine Grey finish the subtle appearance and feel of a carefully preserved vintage original, offering the character of decades of musical history without sacrificing structural integrity.

Every detail reflects the appointments that made the original Trini Lopez model an icon. The ES body is accented with single ply Royalite binding, a striking non reverse Firebird style headstock, split diamond cellulose nitrate fingerboard inlays, and a distinctive Single Diamond trapeze tailpiece with the signature Trini Lopez insert. Black five ply wide bevel pickguard, authentic profile nickel silver pickup covers, black top hat control knobs with silver inserts and dial pointers, and lightly aged nickel hardware further reinforce its vintage aesthetic. At the heart of its voice is a matched pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 humbuckers, delivering the rich harmonic complexity, airy openness, and dynamic sensitivity associated with Gibson's most sought after vintage PAF pickups. Premium electronics including CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers, paper in oil capacitors, and Switchcraft components ensure exceptional tonal control and long term reliability.

Designed to deliver an authentic vintage playing experience, the solid mahogany neck features a comfortable Medium C profile with a long tenon hide glue fit neck joint for enhanced resonance and sustain. The 24.75 inch scale length, 12 inch radius Indian rosewood fingerboard, 22 authentic medium jumbo frets, and 1.69 inch nylon nut provide a familiar and effortlessly playable feel across the entire neck. An ABR 1 bridge with nylon saddles, Kluson Single Line Strip tuning machines with metal buttons, an authentic 1950s no tube truss rod, and lightweight aluminum strap buttons complete the period correct specifications. Strung with .010 to .046 gauge strings and weighing 8 pounds 3 ounces, this exceptional instrument includes its original hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity, making it a remarkable collector's piece and an inspiring professional instrument that celebrates one of Gibson's most enduring and recognizable designs.
