Gibson Murphy Lab Limited Greatest Hits Collection II 1959 Les Paul Standard – Light Aged, “Beauty of the Burst” Page 78
Greatest Hitsville
Wildwoodians, Gibson's new Greatest Hits II Collection is the greatest continuation of a greatest hits compilation since the Queen released Greatest Hits II (and that's really saying something, because that's the one with Under Pressure on it!)! That may seem like a bold statement, but after you take a look at some of the spectacular creations in this second Collection, we think you'll agree that they belong in the same rarified air as Freddie Mercury and Co. Basically, the concept behind the Greatest Hits series is simple: the team at Gibson commissioned a bunch of Made to Measure models based on iconic-looking Gibsons of yore that might have otherwise slipped through the cracks, Gibsons that should have been but weren't, and entirely new ideas straight from the imagination.
As you might guess, the folks who work at Gibson love Gibsons as much as we do, and the Made to Measure models they came up with for the second iteration of Greatest Hits Collection are some of the coolest Custom Shop Gibsons we've ever seen thanks to the depth of their love and appreciation they have for Gibson's history and future. So, you might find Gibsons with modifications that were common (or uncommon) back in the day, fresh new colors and configurations, and new spins on classic Gibson models. We invite you to look through the tracklist we've curated for you and find your favorite of the Greatest Hits. We're sure that once you do, it will be stuck in your head for a long time!
