Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul 1959 Reissue Handpicked Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged Sunrise Teaburst

This Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Ultra Heavy Aged Sunrise  TeaBurst, is as authentic as it gets. Crafted under the supervision of master artisan Tom Murphy, who has a long history with Gibson and a star studded history with creating vintage looking instruments. Each instrument is crafted in the Gibson Custom Shop by expert luthiers, then the Murphy Lab takes over. With Tom Murphy's innovative and unique aging process what you end up with is a guitar that looks accurately aged, but also feels and plays like the guitar you've been playing your whole life.

Before ever reaching the final stages of finishing, the guitars are built in the Gibson Custom Shop. Some of the best luthiers in the business build each Murphy Lab guitar with as much passion and attention to detail as any other. There's no better place for the Murphy Lab to start than with an exceptionally built instrument from the Custom Shop.

Each Murphy Lab guitar is painstakingly aged to look and feel like a guitar you've owned for years. The aging process under Tom Murphy's guidance has taken a leap forward, with the new nitrocellulose lacquer recreating the look of a guitar that has spent years in and out of its case with its wood moving to create that authentic checking. The Murphy Lab doesn't stop at giving you an authentically aged finish though, they know exactly how a vintage guitar should feel too. When you pick up this Les Paul you'll notice the rolled fingerboard edges, the rolled binding on the guitar and it'll feel like a guitar you've played your entire life.

What’s more this guitar has a Handpicked top, specially selected for its incredible detailing and quality wood grain pattern shining through the intense Tea Burst finish. Sunrise Tea Burst being, on our eyes, the closest Dinah you can get to a classic Clapton Beano burst finish. Truly the Art of Guitar!
