Vintage Rock Vibes: Les Paul R9 Murphy Lab Meets a Classic Strap Style
Unleashing the Iconic Style
If you're drawn to the golden age of rock or have a deep love for iconic guitars, you're likely familiar with the stage presence and sonic power that defined an entire era. The late ’60s and ’70s brought us unforgettable guitar tones and unforgettable looks—and nothing captures that spirit quite like a finely aged instrument and a distinctive woven strap.
In our latest video feature, we spotlight the Les Paul R9 Murphy Lab, a faithful homage to one of the most revered electric guitars ever made. This R9 boasts the kind of craftsmanship that bridges past and present, offering tone, feel, and finish that rival vintage originals.
But the look isn't complete without a nod to the stylistic flair that made rock legends stand out. That’s why we’ve paired this gorgeous Les Paul with a strap modeled after one famously worn by Jimmy Page during his most iconic performances—a woven jacquard design that recalls the energy and rebellion of classic rock.
The Vibe Behind the Visual
Guitar straps from the late 20th century weren’t just functional—they were expressive, almost an extension of the artist’s identity. The particular design we feature here, with its rich colors and intricate pattern, channels that unmistakable late-'60s flair.
Worn by some of the most recognizable guitarists in history, this kind of strap became a symbol of a transformative musical moment. It’s more than just retro—it’s part of the visual soundtrack of an entire generation.
In our video, we highlight how this modern recreation captures both the look and the comfort of its vintage inspiration, making it perfect for both collectors and working musicians.
Why the Les Paul R9 Murphy Lab Stands Out

Matched with a vintage-inspired strap, the visual and sonic pairing feels like it’s been lifted straight from the heyday of arena rock. It’s not just gear—it’s a tribute to an era.
