Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Light Aged � Washed Cherry Burst

The Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Light Aged in Washed Cherry Burst is the kind of guitar that stops you in your tracks. Built for serious players, collectors and proper Les Paul lovers, this Custom Shop beauty captures the magic of the legendary 1959 Les Paul Standard with incredible vintage accuracy, premium craftsmanship and that unmistakable Golden Era Gibson feel.

This isn't just a nice tribute to a classic. Gibson Custom Shop has gone all in, using meticulous laser-scanned dimensions, chemically recreated plastics and precisely colour-matched sunburst finishes to recreate every little detail of the original '59 masterpieces. The result is one of the finest Historic Reissues Gibson has produced - a guitar that looks, feels and sounds like it has serious stories to tell.

Washed Cherry Burst With Murphy Lab Light Aged Character

Finished in Washed Cherry Burst, this Les Paul has that warm, faded vintage look players dream about. It's rich, classy and unmistakably Gibson, with just the right amount of stage presence without going over the top.

The Murphy Lab Light Aged treatment gives it tasteful finish checking, aged hardware and a played-in feel that makes it feel comfortable from the moment you pick it up. Murphy Lab's skilled artisans have recreated the vibe of a well-loved vintage Gibson, giving you that sought-after old-school mojo straight from the case - without having to wait sixty-odd years to earn it.

Authentic '59 Feel, Custom Shop Precision

At the heart of this guitar is the classic Les Paul recipe: a 2-piece figured maple top, 1-piece lightweight mahogany back, solid mahogany neck and an Indian rosewood fingerboard. The Authentic '59 Medium C-Shape neck profile feels substantial without being a baseball bat, giving you plenty to hold onto while still feeling smooth and playable.

Loaded with Custombucker Alnico 3 unpotted pickups, this Les Paul delivers the open, dynamic and vocal tone that made late-'50s Bursts so famous. Expect rich sustain, woody warmth, sweet top-end bite and the kind of response that lets your hands do the talking. Blues, rock, classic rock, country, studio sessions, big leads - it's right at home.
