Zach Broyles isn't just a talented effects designer who founded Mythos Pedals in 2010, he's also a keen electric guitar modder. We saw that up close with his upgrade work on the already impressive $500 Epiphone Les Paul Special, but now he's gone to the other end of the Gibson scale – he's modded [*checks notes*] a 2024 $20,000 Murphy Lab '59 reissue Les Paul with a Brazillian rosewood fretboard. Er, what?
"It is a really special guitar," says Zach of his purchase from Wildwood guitar that's one of a run of 50. It was love at first strum (a Go chord) and it's a light one too; 8.15lbs. "It really is as perfect as I would ever want a Les Paul to be". So why would he want to change his ultimate 40th birthday present to himself?
