Adam Jones 1979 V2 Les Paul Custom (Aged & Signed), Antique Silverburst
Murphy Lab Aged, and Signed by Adam Jones Multi-platinum selling and four-time Grammy Award® winner Adam Jones, from the band Tool, is one of rock’s most talented and sonically innovative guitarists. This limited-edition Gibson Custom Shop model pays tribute to what Adam calls “one of my top favorite guitars of all time” - his Silverburst 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom. Featuring an expertly aged finish by the artisans of the Murphy Lab, it duplicates his original guitar precisely, differing only by the addition of custom artwork, designed by artist Mackie Osborne, to the rear of the headstock. There’s even a headstock mirror included in the hardshell case. Only 79 of these guitars, hand-signed and numbered by Adam, will be built by the expert luthiers and craftspeople of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
