Gibson ES-335 TD Murphy Lab – 2021 (Black, Custom Shop)

This 2021 Gibson ES-335 TD Murphy Lab, built by the Gibson Custom Shop and aged by the legendary Murphy Lab, is a masterful tribute to the iconic 1959 ES-335—combining authentic vintage character with modern precision and playability.

Finished in an elegant custom black, this ES-335 stands out with a bold yet timeless aesthetic. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aging treatment delivers exceptional realism: subtle lacquer checking, light patina, and gentle wear that give the guitar a naturally broken-in look and feel. The finish retains a beautiful, glass-like depth reminiscent of true vintage Gibsons, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of the Murphy Lab team.

Tonally, the guitar is exceptionally resonant and responsive. It offers the warmth, air, and sustain of a classic semi-hollow design paired with the punch and clarity of Gibson’s renowned humbuckers. The lightweight build and comfortable neck profile make it effortless to play across styles—from jazz and blues to classic rock.

This instrument is supplied complete with its original hard shell case and Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

A modern Custom Shop masterpiece with true vintage attitude, the Gibson ES-335 TD Murphy Lab 2021 delivers timeless tone, elite craftsmanship, and a distinctive look that will never go out of style.
