Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Murphy Lab Light Aged, Royal Tea Burst

The Custom Shop Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Murphy Lab Light Aged is not just a tribute to the priceless original model — it's a clone of it. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It features a gorgeous Royal Tea Burst nitro lacquer with a Murphy Lab light aged finish, paired with lightly aged hardware, to simulate decades of natural play-wear that gives it a unique character, vibe and feel.

Masterfully-built in America, this Les Paul shows off a two-piece figured maple top on a one-piece lightweight mahogany solidbody, bound by a one-ply royalite binding and decorated with nickel hardware. It's the definition of comfort and power — where a stunning playability meets classic vintage style. The authentic '59 medium C-profile solid mahogany neck will instantly pull you in, letting you peruse the Indian rosewood fingerboard with ease — of which is adorned with twenty-two authentic medium jumbo-sized frets and cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays.

Shoving a powerful late-fifties rock 'n' roll sound in your face, this Les Paul powers up with the dual Custombucker Alnico 3 unpotted humbuckers, which are controlled by two volume, two tone controls and a three-way toggle switch. The CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors ensure that your tone has the legendary Gibson voice that you crave. Rounded off by the ABR-1 bridge and the lightweight aluminum stopbar along with the Kluson tuning machines, you have an instrument that brings back the best of the Gibson golden era.
