Gibson / Les Paul Murphy Painted & Aged Japan Limited "Greeny" Historic Select / 2015 / Green Lemon / Guitar
|
Up for sale is this absolutely JAW-DROPPING Les Paul, Painted and Aged by the master Tom Murphy himself, in a unique ultra-limited Japanese-market edition of the Peter Green / Gary Moore “Greeny”. True Historic Specs, lightweight, and one of the most incredible tops we’ve ever seen…
This is your chance to own a true collectable: a Murphy Painted & Aged Les Paul, Japan market. Now THAT’S special!
This is part of a very, very limited unofficial Greeny run -of ONLY 13 made- for the Japanese market, involving Edwin Wilson -who personally hand-selected the top- and THE man, Tom Murphy, who did an AMAZING burst job and relic finish. These were never available anywere but in Japan, and were only offered to the top dealers there.
And last but not least, the top is insane. We’ll let the pictures talk for themselves on that matter.
It features two Custom Bucker pickups with a freversed neck pickup (can be placed normally) for the Gary Moore sound! And YES, it does include a couple of extra “reflector”/“gold” knobs so you can use a full set of what you like if you don’t crave the Gary Moore “knob mix”.
Tons of case candy included: tri-fold COA with Murphy’s signature, stating it was painted and aged by him, Japanese papers, case candy, etc. The guitar is absolutely unplayed, with no wear in the frets and still smelling like new.
Geek note: check out the “TM” initials engraved in the finish :)

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
