Our take on the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue Heavy Aged

The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue is a Custom Shop build of the original single-pickup Junior, finished in Murphy Lab heavy-aged nitrocellulose lacquer over solid mahogany. It has a 24.75-inch scale, a 1.69-inch nylon nut, a rosewood board and a single dog-ear P-90, and it weighs about 8.15 lb. The heavy aging adds checking, dings and worn edges, so no two look alike. At $4,885.22 at eBay as of November 6, 2026, it sits well below the typical new street price for a Murphy Lab Junior, which usually runs near $5,500 to $6,000.

Questions and answers

Is this the same as a standard Les Paul Junior?
No. It is a Gibson Custom Shop reissue with a Murphy Lab heavy-aged finish, a nylon nut and vintage-spec parts. A standard USA Junior is much cheaper and has a gloss finish.
What pickup does it have?
A single dog-ear P-90 in the bridge position. That gives the classic Junior tone but no neck-pickup option.
How heavy is it?
About 8.15 lb for this example. Solid mahogany Juniors typically land between 7.5 and 8.5 lb.
Is $4,885.22 a good price?
Yes. New Murphy Lab Juniors usually list near $5,500 to $6,000, so $4,885.22 at eBay as of November 6, 2026 is a strong price if the guitar checks out.
What strings does it ship with?
.010 to .046 gauge, the standard set for this model.
Does heavy aging affect playability?
No. The aging is finish-level only; the neck, frets and setup are the same as any Custom Shop Junior.
Where is the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue Heavy Aged cheapest?
At Fuller's Guitar, for $6,499.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue Heavy Aged?
