Gibson Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Slow Iced Tea Fade Heavy Aged Electric Guitar

Just in! The Holy Grail of Les Paul’s and the best Murphy Lab we’ve ever played…

Gibson Custom Shop's 1959 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models -- it's a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop's expert team -- a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it's the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago. It features Heavy Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish treatment, paired with heavily aged hardware, simulates decades of heavy play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.

This guitar comes to us brand new as the result of trying out a number of the Murphy Lab reissues. The breathtaking finish combined with the phenomenal tone make it a must buy for serious collectors and players alike.
