Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Light Aged � Iced Tea

The Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Light Aged in Iced Tea is a seriously special take on one of the most wanted electric guitars ever made. Built by the Gibson Custom Shop and aged by the Murphy Lab, it captures the look, feel and spirit of a golden-era '59 Les Paul, without needing six decades of pub gigs, studio sessions and careful daydreaming to get there.

This isn't just a nice tribute. Gibson Custom Shop has gone deep on the details, using laser-scanned dimensions, chemically recreated plastics and precisely colour-matched sunburst finishes to recreate the original 1959 Les Paul Standard with remarkable accuracy. The result is a guitar that feels instantly familiar, looks properly vintage and delivers the thick, sustaining tone players chase for a lifetime.

Vintage Accuracy, Custom Shop Craft

The 1959 Les Paul Standard has long been considered the benchmark for electric guitar design, and this Custom Shop reissue leans right into that legacy. From the 2-piece figured maple top and 1-piece lightweight mahogany back to the solid mahogany neck with an authentic '59 Medium C-Shape profile, every part of this guitar is built to capture the magic of the originals.

Tonally, it's all the good stuff: rich sustain, thick midrange, vocal lead tones and the kind of response that makes you keep saying, "just one more riff" until dinner's gone cold. The Custombucker Alnico 3 unpotted pickups bring that open, airy PAF-style character, giving you everything from warm blues and classic rock crunch to big, singing lead tones.

Murphy Lab Light Aged Finish

The Murphy Lab Light Aged treatment is a big part of what makes this Gibson Les Paul so appealing. It's tasteful, not overcooked. You get subtle lacquer checking, carefully aged hardware and just enough playwear to give it the character, vibe and feel of a well-loved Golden Era Gibson.

In other words, it feels like a vintage guitar straight out of the case, but without the stress of taking a museum piece to a gig. The Iced Tea finish tops it all off beautifully, with that warm late-'50s burst look that suits a Les Paul perfectly.
