    I have a 5A 1 piece top (on my LP Custom) and a 5A 2 piece on my '59 Reissue... subjectively the quilt on the 2 piece looks nicer, but it's in 2 pieces not 1.... the thing that makes the LP Custom a 5A top is that it's one single piece.. not book matched top where the symmetry lends to the appearance, and so while it doesn't look as cool due to the lack of symmetry, it's objectively a harder piece to source and thus also a 5A. btw, none of my 3 customs are Murphy... I'm of the school that I'd rather age my own, and I want them PRS like brand new when I get em.

    The custom shop 59 Neck profile is a exact digital repro of the Carmelita burst. "Carmelita" is the nick name of a 1959 Les paul standard burst owned by Joe bonamasa.

      I think the "Carmelita" neck profile started being standard on the Custom Shop R9's in 2021. Prior to that they were slightly bigger. Even so, there are slight measurable variations from example to example for all Custom Shop models (just like the originals) because the necks are hand-finished. Maybe the neck starts off as an exact digital repo, but it doesn't end up that way. USA models are more much consistent in measurement from example to example because they're machine-finished.
      I'm pretty sure Joe B. sold "Carmelita" a while back.

    Nice overview! I think the USA models have a Corian nut, which I don't think is the same as Graphtec. I dislike Corian nuts. They are hard to work on, crumble easily and no matter how well you finish them, the strings bind in them. On the other hand, I really like nylon nuts. Every guitar I have with a nylon nut holds tune better than any guitar I have with some other material. Bone is very good, but they vary too much...nylon is consistent.
    My feeling is that once you get used to playing Custom Shop guitars...there's no going back.

    I recently bought a CS ‘59 reissue in Royal Tea with 3A quilt
    top and gloss finish. This is non-Murphy and non-VOS. The quilt maple top has a lot of movement and pure job to play and to just look at. It’s a piece of fine art, IMO. Enjoy your new Murphy’59.

    Congrats on your sweet R9! While I'm pretty indifferent about relics, Murphy Labs still have not resolved the finishing flaking issue. People are still having finish flake off to bare wood hours/days after buying it, I can't imagine what these guitars will look like in a year or two from now. Gibson also calling this "normal" with ML guitars is complete nonsense. For that reason I could never bring myself to buy one, even though there are plenty of guitars out there that I like, that are unfortunately ML Aged. ☹

      Custom Shop models generally play differently than USA models. The strings on Custom Shop models generally have a smoother, slinkier feel to them. The entire guitar feels looser...It's difficult to describe. Some people can't feel it or don't care to try to feel it or just plain don't like it. They do feel more like a vintage guitar though...like it or not.
