夢幻逸品1993 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Reissue Yamano Edition Painted by Tom Murphy
Gibson於1993年成立Custom Shop部門，第一次發表1959 Les Paul Reissue時，有一批數量稀少只有25支由Tom Murphy親自上色的1959 Les Paul Reissue First of 25 Painted by Tom Murphy，而更少人知道的是，在這之前，Gibson提供一批給日本時任總代理Yamano山野樂器的特別限定版，也就是日本1993第一版的1959 Les Paul Reissue。而這些少量的日本限定版與1993年First of 25規格相同，但時間更早，約為1993年初期，有著特選的AAAA級虎紋楓木，一樣由Tom Murphy本人上色，這些1993年初期的Murphy上色的Sunburst有著共同的特色，就是琴面的顏色比起常見的Sunburst更”粉”，從外觀上很容易分辨。琴頭後方有著Custom Shop的水印，在前段拾音器槽內有著Tom M的簽名與Yamano的印記，後段拾音器槽有著Reissue的印記，以上的特徵都說明與同時期的Pre-Historic系列不同。此外，因為這是1993年初期第一批介於Pre-Historic與Custom Shop之間的過渡版本，所以序號為3開頭並非9開頭。
桃花心木琴身、玫瑰木指版，琴頸為90年初期Reissue較薄的Late 59 Neck Profile。原廠配置一組'57 Classic PAF拾音器，全琴皆原廠無改。整體九成五新，Fret約八成新，琴身有一些如圖不明顯的透明漆小敲痕，琴背有些許輕微的使用痕跡，但整體相當乾淨，琴面亮度維持得像是當年出廠的樣子，以整整30年的琴來說簡直不可思議。
其型號對Gibson Custom Reissue復刻系列佔有歷史重要角色，這是真正1993年Custom Shop創廠第一批的Les Paul Reissue，相較於目前在市場年年上漲，要價60、70萬台幣起跳的1994 Murphy Painted來說，數量更少的1993 Murphy Painted擁有極高收藏價值，而許多玩家們也都相信，Gibson特別提供給日本山野限定版的用料與做工都會來得比普通版本更好。此琴原始琴盒與Checklist等文件依然保留著，機會難得，有興趣的收藏家們把握機會。

This is a real deal! If you know that Gibson built the first of 25 Murphy painted 1959 Les Paul Reissue in 1993, this is a very rare guitar, the real first reissue guitar by the custom shop. Special ordered by Japan YAMANO in early 1993 before the custom shop officially published the first 25 of 1959 Les Paul Reissue guitars.
And it’s the same as that first of 25 guitars, also has been painted by Tom Murphy but it is a part of a transitional period between pre-historic and custom shop in 1993 so the serial number is 3-0XXX not 9-3XXX, and it has “Tom M” written and “YAMANO”, “REISSUE” stamp under the pickup cavity, and “Custom Shop Edition” on the back of the headstock. It has a specially selected AAAA flame maple top with "uniquely" painted, these sunbursts Murphy painted in 1993 are kind of close to pink, that's why I said uniquely for a reason. The original PAF pickups and wiring are original. Some people believe that the YAMANO edition guitars have high quality, don't miss this such a great guitar.
The guitar is in excellent condition, and the frets are in good condition. It has some little dings but looks very clean, can’t believe this is a 30 year old guitar.
Comes with the original Gibson case, checklist and paperwork. No COA this year.
