全新2025 Gibson Custom Shop Eric Clapton 1958 Les Paul Custom Ebony #004

這是Gibson Custom於2025年二月推出的Eric Clapton 1958 Les Paul Custom限量琴款，全球限量150支。Eric Clapton除了擁有過去經典的Beano Burst、The Fool SG、1964 ES-335等，編號8-6320的1958 Les Paul Custom也不例外，這把吉他是Eric Clapton在第五張專輯"Slowhand"，於1967年Cream樂隊首次在美國巡演期間在Manny's Music 購得，爾後這把吉他出現在了許多巡演上。

Eric Claton在1979年時將這把Les Paul Custom贈送給了Albert Lee，直到今日，Albert Lee依然保留著這把吉他。1979年，Albert Lee加入了Eric Clapton的樂隊，他向Eric透露：「我曾經有一把Les Paul Custom，但我像個傻瓜一樣把它給賣了」。Eric聽聞後說：「我家裡有一把，我不需要它」。第二天，一位巡演的工作人員便拿著這把1958 Les Paul Custom過來給我，從那天開始我就一直彈著這把吉他。

雖然Gibson為了讓這把Eric Clapton 1958 Les Paul Custom復刻版盡可能接近原琴，但他們與Eric Clapton、Albert Lee進行了合作時，Eric對這把Les Paul Custom進行的關鍵性的修改，Eric非常喜歡一種特殊的琴頸輪廓，這種輪廓的琴頸也被用在我們為他製作的其他吉他上，既不會太粗也不會太細，介於1958與1959之間，而這把復刻的Les Paul Custom就是添加了這種輪廓的琴頸。而Eric也批准了Gibson配置了一組無浸蠟處理的Custombucker Alnico III Unpotted拾音器，這組拾音器完美融合了復古味與適當的音色出力，也使整體氛圍與音色都能更加的接近原琴。

整把吉他的外觀採用了Murphy Lab舊化技術，完全復刻了原琴的傷痕細節，也包含了塑膠與金屬零件。Murphy Lab是Gibson Custom Shop推出的全新舊化系列，由Gibson傳奇技師Tom Murphy帶領的全新部門「Murphy Lab」，採用獲得專利的全新化學技術所製作，使外觀看起來更像是一把真正彈奏數十年的老吉他。有別於以往Murphy Aged完全刀刻製作的舊化，Murphy Lab團隊對1950至1960年代初黃金時期所使用的原漆進行逆向工程的科學研究，大部分利用熱破壞方式讓表面透明漆產生自然的Weather Checking裂紋，使整體舊化呈現的更加自然，更像是因為年代所自然產生，能夠由吉他的氛圍感受到時間的流逝。

全球限量150把，這把吉他的序號為004，是生產序列中極為前段的編號，經由Guitar Shop Taiwan團隊特別挑選，極具收藏價值。配有Duck Brothers圖案的特殊琴盒與一本證書、一條黑色皮革背帶，以及一塊印有Eric Clapton的金屬紀念背蓋，此外還有Eric Clapton與 Albert Lee的親筆簽名紀念護板，收藏於Gibson特別製作的木展示盒中。

From Gibson Custom:

A loving tribute to a piece of music history owned and played by two guitar icons

It’s safe to say that Eric Clapton is one of the most successful and respected guitarists of all time. His playing with the Yardbirds, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek & The Dominos, Delaney & Bonnie, and as a solo artist has inspired countless players. He has won 18 GRAMMY® awards, received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, four Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors, including a Lifetime Achievement Award, and was awarded a CBE for services to music. He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a solo artist and as a member of the Yardbirds and Cream. He has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. He is the co-founder and a patron of the Crossroads Centre, a substance abuse rehabilitation facility on Antigua that has helped countless people overcome substance abuse.

During Cream’s first American tour, Eric purchased a three-pickup 1958 Les Paul Custom, serial number 8 6320, which he used on Disraeli Gears, multiple tours, including with Delaney & Bonnie, and on and off throughout the rest of the 1960s and 70s. In 1979, he gifted the guitar to fellow legendary guitarist Albert Lee, who continues to be inspired by it and uses it to this day. Now, Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the Eric Clapton 1958 Les Paul Custom, a loving tribute to Clapton's original Cream-era 1958 Les Paul Custom. This special limited run uses ultra-precise Murphy Lab aging techniques to aid in handcrafting a reproduction of this legendary guitar. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, from the exact playing wear to the sonic character. It features a hand-selected, ultra-lightweight, one-piece, all-mahogany body, a mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard with Custom mother-of-pearl block inlays and 22 historic medium jumbo frets, and a custom neck profile. The hardware is aged gold, including the Grover® tuners, ABR-1 bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, and pickup covers. The three pickups are unpotted Custombuckers, with the middle pickup mounted with the screws oriented towards the neck, just as they are on the original guitar. The volume and tone controls use CTS® 500k audio taper potentiometers that are hand-wired to paper-in-oil capacitors, while the Murphy Lab aging simulates the exact aging and wear patterns that Eric and Albert created.

Only 150 of these exceptional guitars have been handcrafted by the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop and Murphy Lab in Nashville, Tennessee. The custom Duck Brothers-inspired case includes the guitar, along with a second pickguard, signed by both Eric Clapton and Albert Lee in a collectible wooden display case, a Certificate of Authenticity booklet with a photo by Chuck Stewart, a black leather Archive Series strap, and a Gibson Custom switch plate medallion. Here is your opportunity to own a piece of music history that is directly tied to two of the world’s foremost guitarists.
