Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Electric Guitar – Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged Kindred Burst Gibson

Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Electric Guitar – Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged Kindred Burst

The Gibson Custom Shop’s 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue goes beyond being a mere homage to the invaluable original models – it is an exact replica of them. Through the use of laser-scanned measurements, chemically-recreated plastics, and meticulously color-matched sunburst finishes, every detail has been faithfully reproduced. This achievement represents the culmination of years of dedicated work by the Custom Shop’s skilled team, who have tirelessly strived for accuracy and authenticity to satisfy fans. It epitomizes coolness and stands as the ultimate representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Custom Shop began producing Historic Reissues more than twenty-five years ago. To enhance its appeal, it undergoes Light Aging by the expert artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged finish treatment, along with heavy aged hardware, recreates the natural wear and tear that occurs over decades of play, granting it the distinct character, vibe, and tactile experience of an original Gibson Les Paul from the revered Golden Era.
