Gibson Murphy Lab 59' Les Paul Std Ultra Light Back Ultra Light Aged (Iced Tea Fade)

Gibson Murphy Lab '59 Les Paul Standard Ultra Light Aged � Iced Tea Fade

The Gibson Murphy Lab '59 Les Paul Standard Ultra Light Aged in Iced Tea Fade is made for players who want the look, feel, response and outright magic of a prized vintage Les Paul - without needing to hunt down an original 1959 model.

This is not just a nod to the legendary '59 Les Paul Standard. Gibson Custom Shop has gone all-in here, using laser-scanned dimensions, chemically recreated plastics and precisely colour-matched sunburst finishes to capture the tiny details that made the originals so special. The result is a seriously impressive reissue that feels like it has stepped straight out of the Golden Era.

Finished in a beautifully faded Iced Tea Fade and treated by the Murphy Lab with an Ultra Light Aged finish, this Les Paul has that gently played-in character players love. It looks classy, feels comfortable straight away and has just enough vintage vibe without looking overdone. In other words, it's got the mojo without trying too hard.

Historic '59 Les Paul Accuracy With Custom Shop Craftsmanship

The 1959 Les Paul Standard is one of the most celebrated electric guitars ever made, and Gibson Custom Shop has spent decades refining its Historic Reissues to get closer and closer to the real thing. This model represents the pinnacle of that work - a highly detailed recreation built for discerning players, collectors and anyone who knows exactly why a great Les Paul matters.

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, this guitar is designed to deliver that classic combination of sustain, warmth, bite and feel. It is vintage-inspired, but it is also ready to be played hard today.

Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Finish

The Murphy Lab ageing treatment is a big part of what makes this guitar special. Gibson's skilled artisans carefully age the finish and hardware to create the distinctive feel, look and character of a well-loved Golden Era Gibson.

Because this is an Ultra Light Aged model, the wear is tasteful and refined. You get subtle checking, lightly aged hardware and that broken-in feel straight from the case - but it still presents beautifully. It's ideal if you want authentic vintage character without a heavily relic'd look.
