A Fantabulous Fifty-Eight


This particular marvel is a reissue of a 1958 Les Paul Standard, one of the coolest and most historically significant guitars in Gibson’s history. In 1958, the Standard model received a makeover as Gibson swapped the finish from an opaque gold to a more transparent burst that highlighted the grain of the wood. The spirits of those “first bursts” are alive and well in this reissue! It has an uber-comfy chunky C-shaped neck profile and historically correct narrow-tall frets, and that combination makes for a wonderful playing experience.

Wildwood Spec-Tacular


Because our friends at Gibson are the coolest people ever, they were kind enough to allow us to have exclusive Wildwood Spec guitars. Basically, these guitars receive a little bit of extra fairy dust in the build process that makes them a bit more magical. All tops are hand-picked for exceptional beauty, and they are so beautiful that the cases should probably come with a built-in drool shield!

But, they're not just pretty faces: they're also absolute sonic titans thanks to their pickups. Each one of these guitars comes equipped with Wildwood Spec Custombuckers, and they (to use a very scientific term) totally rule. They are brimming with vintage flavor, and they capture the sound of an old PAF beautifully. The fine folks who make Gibson's pickups also added a little bit of extra secret sauce that improves their articulation, dynamism, and clarity, too. As a result, these pickups translate the subtleties and nuances of your playing so well that the guitar almost feels like an extension of your hands.

We have no doubt that these Wildwood Spec Murphy Lab guitars will bring you a lifetime of musical delight. They look gorgeous, they sound titanic, and they feel like an old friend you've never met. We hope you love them as much as we do, and we hope they inspire you to make lots of joyous racket for a long time.
