How does this differ from a regular Custom Shop '59 reissue?

It adds a hand-selected two-piece AAA figured maple top, Murphy Lab Heavy Aging and a run capped at 100 instruments. The core specs, including the '59 neck profile, long tenon and Custombucker Alnico 4 pickups, follow the standard reissue formula.

What does Murphy Lab Heavy Aging mean?

The nitrocellulose lacquer is finished with pronounced checking and worn edges to mimic decades of play. It is a cosmetic treatment; the wood and hardware are new.

Are the Custombucker pickups true PAF copies?

They are Alnico 4 humbuckers voiced for the balanced, slightly bright late-'50s PAF character. They are not built from original PAF parts.

Is the body chambered?

No. It is a one-piece mahogany body described as lightweight, not chambered, so it keeps solid-body sustain and attack.

How many are being made?

The run is limited to 100 instruments worldwide.

The guitar itself; case and case candy are not detailed here, so confirm the included accessories with the seller before ordering.
