Product Information
Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Light Aged � Golden Poppy Burst
The Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Light Aged in Golden Poppy Burst is a seriously special Les Paul for players and collectors chasing that legendary '59 feel without needing a time machine or a wildly optimistic auction budget.
Built by the Gibson Custom Shop, this reissue represents decades of obsessive Historic Reissue work, with Gibson going deep on the details that make an original 1959 Les Paul� Standard so sought after. We're talking laser-scanned dimensions, chemically recreated plastics, and precisely colour-matched sunburst finishes designed to capture the look, feel and vibe of the original Golden Era masterpieces.
This isn't just a nice tribute guitar. It's one of the most accurate and authentic representations of a 1959 Les Paul Standard Gibson Custom Shop has produced since launching the Historic Reissue series more than twenty-five years ago. In other words, this is the good stuff.
Golden Poppy Burst With Murphy Lab Light Ageing
The Golden Poppy Burst finish gives this Les Paul a warm, vintage-inspired look that feels classy, rich and properly eye-catching. Add in the Murphy Lab Light Aged treatment, and you get subtle checking, gently worn hardware and that played-in character that makes it feel like an old favourite from the moment you open the case.
Murphy Lab's skilled artisans carefully age the finish and hardware to simulate decades of genuine play wear, giving this guitar the distinctive character, vibe and feel of an authentic vintage Gibson. It's got that coveted old-school mojo straight from the case, minus the questionable tour van smell.
Why Players Love It
If you're after a Gibson Les Paul Standard electric guitar with Custom Shop build quality, vintage-correct detail and serious collector appeal, this Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard is a standout. It captures the spirit of one of the most desirable electric guitars ever made while delivering the reliability, feel and craftsmanship you'd expect from a modern Gibson Custom Shop instrument.
Our staff like this one because it just feels right. The neck has that comfortable Authentic '59 Medium C-Shape profile, the ageing is tasteful rather than overcooked, and the whole guitar has the sort of presence that makes you say, "I'll just play one more thing," about six times in a row.
