GIBSON CUSTOM - 1959 LES PAUL STANDARD REISSUE ELECTRIC GUITAR - MURPHY LAB LIGHT AGED DIRTY LEMON

The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a startling recreation of the original holy grail guitar. Built in the Custom Shop with period-correct appointments and superior attention to detail, its journey continued in the Murphy Lab. Utilizing aging techniques created by Master Artisan Tom Murphy, this reissue emerged looking like a vintage Gibson with five decades of average play wear. Lacquer checking and hardware with a muted patina complete the transformation. Loaded with a set of CustomBuckers, the Light-aged ’59 Standard sets a new one for historical authenticity, and will become the centerpiece of your collection. It is available now at Guitar Center.

Main Features
Lightweight mahogany body with 2-piece figured maple top
Mahogany neck with 1959 medium C-profile, Indian rosewood fretboard
Dual Gibson CustomBucker pickups, 3-way switch
Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, Kluson tuners
Murphy Lab Light Aged finish

Mahogany and Maple Construction
There's no reason to mess with perfection—this Murphy Lab Les Paul has a lightweight mahogany body and figured maple top, just like in 1959. Marrying two unique woods proves that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Solid Neck Specs
The mahogany neck has an authentic '59 medium C-shape. The fretboard is rosewood; extra-rolled binding mimics the feel of a broken-in Gibson. It also disrupts the evenness of the yellowed lacquer with a wear pattern that matches a naturally aged instrument.

Powerful Pickups
Nailing the tone of a PAF pickup on a late ’50s Les Paul has sent some on the biggest fool's quest since Coronado searched for the cities of gold. Fortunately, the Custom Shop is stocked with the type of folk that rise to the occasion. The resulting CustomBuckers sound so authentically 1959, you'll swear Eisenhower is still president. A hand-wired harness with paper-in-oil capacitors and 500K CTS pots supplies sonic variations; the rest is up to you.

Historic Hardware
The Murphy Lab LP Standard has a stopbar tailpiece, tune-o-matic bridge and Kluson tuners that match original ’59 specs. All hardware has an aged patina.

Light Aged Finish
This ’59 Les Paul reissue gets a Light aging from the Murphy lab. It bears the subtle scars of a guitar that's been babied, but still lived a life over the last 50 plus years. You'll see dings, pick trails, finish flaking, lacquer checking and softened edges all over the instrument.

The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue comes with a certificate of authenticity and a brown and pink reissue 5-latch hardshell case.
