That's amazing, beautiful guitar and a great score.

Don't listen to the heretics, they don't need top wrapping unless it's got neck angle problems (plus it'll mar the tailpiece) and they always, always, look better with the pick guard on. 

Enjoy

Cheers mate, new to Les Paul’s so still learning

That’s a hell of a first les Paul. Great choice - should sound killer through that Magnatone.

I’m a self confessed guitars snob so had to be something like this. Lol

The Murphy lab settling in just fine.

Congrats. I too (a Gretsch fanboy) have a ML Les Paul (R6). I do wish Gretsch would do a chunkier neck pro line. Two best girthy Gretsch necks are on budget models!  The 2420T, and my gold top Pro Jet. 

I love my 53VS Jet, but then neck is barely there compare to some of my other guitars. 

You can rely on Gibson for chunky neck choice. My SG Classic with P90’s has a neck big it beef in the neck. 

Anyway, congrats sir. Hope you have years of joy from it. Are you going to nail a Bigsby on it?

Cool, I didn’t realise u had a Murphy Lab Les Paul. I can’t bring myself to start drilling such a nice guitar to add a Bigsby, let’s be honest I’m not short of Bigsby equipped guitars. 

Fair enough. Mine is held in place with a vibramate, so no damage to the top, and fully reversible, and no evidence left behind or was ever there. 

I do like a Bigsby!
