2025 Gibson Custom LG-2 Murphy Lab Light Aged 1946 Script Logo w/ Case, CoA
Up for sale, a 2025 Gibson Custom LG-2 Murphy Lab Light Aged in mint condition, complete with the hardshell case, CoA, hangtags, and case candy. A custom-ordered instrument, this LG-2 is a faithful recreation of a circa 1946 Post-War model, matching spec for the “Banner” models circa 1942-45, yet with the distinctive script logo (and lack of a Banner decal) seen from 1947-48.
Tom Murphy, the Master Artisan and namesake of Gibson's Murphy Lab, was central to the creation of the Gibson Custom Shop and personally developed the various processes on display for aging the finish and hardware of these instruments. With a quarter century in the saddle, Murphy is a celebrated authority for replicating the character of vintage instruments on the canvas of newly-created guitars.
This Murphy Lab iteration of the LG-2 features a thermally aged red spruce top with traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing, mahogany back/sides, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard with 14 frets clear of the body. A miniature cannon with incredible projection and power, this LG-2 benefits from the aging of the top, replicating the dynamic response and tonal breadth of a genuine vintage example. Sound simply leaps from the guitar, with a bold, detailed bass register that holds together well with vigorous strumming. The midrange has a balanced, woody quality, and individual notes within a chord are notably clear, while the trebles are snappy and punchy. Weighing 3lbs 9oz, this Custom LG-2 Murphy Lab Light Aged has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
