This seems unfortunate and must be very frustrating, as these guitars are not exactly cheap and can cost many thousands of dollar more than a non-aged model from Gibson. Over on the TGP forum, one user who goes by the name CALIENG has had to send back multiple guitars affected by the same problem. I am now on the third one that needs to be returned due to the finish lifting up and flaking off. Just wanted to check in here with anyone who has purchased a Murphy Lab guitar. It would appear that in some cases the Gibson Murphy Labs aged finish is becoming brittle and falling off the guitars that have been affected, which mainly seems to be the lightly aged models with cherry backs.

If you head over to the My Les Paul, TGP or thefretboardguitar forums, you will see posts uploaded by owners of some Gibson Murphy Labs guitars, and they claim that their Custom Shop aged guitars have some serious finish flaws. And in extreme cases, it would appear that these faux-ageing or relic finishes are falling off the guitars. Over the weekend guitar forums, both in the US and the UK are all reporting that Gibson Murphy Labs guitars appear to be having some finishing issues.
