Gibson has had quite the week. On Tuesday, it was showing off the prowess of its Bozeman, Montana acoustic guitar Custom Shop with the launch of the Brian May SJ-200 12-String, and now it’s the Murphy Lab in Nashville’s turn to show off with a meticulous Murphy Lab replica of one of the most hallowed electric guitars in Eric Clapton history – his 1958 Les Paul Custom.

This Les Paul Custom bore the serial number 8 6320, was bought during Cream’s inaugural tour of the USA, and was used throughout the recording sessions for Disraeli Gears, before it was gifted to Albert Lee in 1979.
