@@AlfieVaughanMusicThanks!, It's worth the price. 👌The Murphy Lab costs even more at £10,000+ based on Reverb or Peach (right?).... I love LP Bursts like that. It inspired me to pick up again my LP. Cheers! 😀
Oh right! Didn't know that. Still, I'd much rather have the nicer top and nitro finish. Not that this features make this guitar worth almost 6 times the price 🤣 diminishing returns...
Wonder if the Murphy Lab had unpotted and slightly lower output PUs vs the standard custom shop reissue? I have both - my custom shop handles more gain and is beefier but the Murphy Lab has the true tele on roids sound of the vintage ones but will squeal if guitar volume is full up at high gain. Interestingly, I've found with the ML that you can hit a Tumnus in front with the volume down on the guitar and high gain on amp and get a fantastic sound without the squeal. Really good volume taper. Your guitar sounds fantastic. My solution was both but that size doesn't fit all 😬
Possibly! I thought the electronics were the same but I don't know that for sure. I just thought the difference in tone came from the slightly different way they do the lacquer and just the general variation from guitar to guitar. The same as how this one sounded different to the other 3 standard custom shops. Interesting how much variety there is in the same models! That's why playing them all and picking the best was so much fun
Haha, why not have both! Yes I highly recommend it if you're comfortable putting it together. It's not too difficult and if you buy good parts you can get something that's custom shop spec for under $1000. My strat that I built plays better than my American standard strat I had before. It's really lovely!
@@AlfieVaughanMusic The thing is I have an around 4 years old player (mexican) strat laying around which I dont use anymore. It is black with a white Pickguard and idk if it would look good or work. What do you think?
Worth a go but you're making it harder for yourself refinishing a guitar with a poly finish. I've done it a few times and it's a huge amount of effort to get the tough poly finish off the body. I'd say you're better off doing what I did and buying a fresh unfinished body and going from there. But up to you!
That is a beauty.
Thank you! I'm really happy with it
Nice, I’m now looking at them…… :)
Incredible guitars 👌

Very beautiful "Poppy Burst" mate.👍 How much is that?
Thank you! It was £6499. Bit of an eye watering price but it's a fantastic guitar

Congrats!!!
Thank you! 🙏
What amp where you playing through at peach guitars? Your tone was awesome!
It was a Friedman :) Not sure what model though, sorry!
Operative word "was."

Is This The 60th Anniversary? I Have Golden Poppy Burst As Well
I don't think so. I think it's from 2022 but will have to check the paperwork in the case
Im a strat guy and want as many of them as possibly (my wallet says no) but now i want a les paul too... (for the quote)
Btw I'm here since your relic strat video and I want to do it so bad but idk if its a good idea, would you recommend it?

@@AlfieVaughanMusic I sadly dont have the money rtn to buy a new body, so that would be an option... but im gonna think about and than maybe do it
right so how much did gibson pay you to say that
Sadly nothing 🤣 Would be nice if they paid me!
This may be one of the whitest videos I’ve ever seen. This 8 grand guitar was slightly better in my head than the 11 grand one..
Who said it was 8 grand? 👀
So it plays well but sounds like chit? Find a better tone.
Les Paul into a Vox Ac30? That's the sound of rock n roll...
@@AlfieVaughanMusic Trust me.Your tone sucks. The tone at the store was nice. Not so at your "studio."
