Bringing tradition to today's guitarists with the Gibson Murphy Lab '59 Les Paul Standard.
The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue delivers an astounding recreation of the legendary '59 Les Paul. Built by Gibson's Custom Shop with meticulous attention to detail, it continues its journey in the Murphy Lab for an ultra heavy relic treatment. Loaded with CustomBuckers and decked out in period-correct appointments, this Standard looks and sounds like an original '59 Les Paul with decades of heavy playing wear. It becomes the vintage-vibe centerpiece of any collection.
Authentic Vintage Styling and Ultra Heavy Relic Finish
This Les Paul channels serious vintage mojo, from its lightweight mahogany body and figured maple top to its '59 medium C neck profile. Binding along the body and neck is expertly yellowed and checked for an old-school vibe. The Murphy Lab finishes the aging process by putting the guitar through ultra heavy distressing. The back shows major buckle rash while the body and neck wear exposes raw wood in spots. This heavy relic look makes it seem like you've played this Les Paul for 50 years.
CustomBuckers That Nail the Tone of 1959 PAF Pickups
Getting fully authentic '59 PAF tones once sent Gibson on an epic quest. Fortunately the Custom Shop is stocked with experts who step up. The CustomBuckers deliver the magical sound of original PAFs. Wound to precise 1959 specs, they deliver the sweet, singing tone missing from so many Burst reissues. The neck pickup has a smooth, vocal quality while the bridge Custombucker provides perfect grit and grind. A hand-wired harness with old-school components like paper-in-oil capacitors supplies tonal variations. You simply supply the inspiration through this vintage-accurate wiring.
Resonant Mahogany/Maple Construction for Exceptional Playability and Tone
Using the same tonewood combination as vintage Les Pauls, this reissue sounds phenomenal. Its solid mahogany body provides thickness and richness, while the figured maple top adds snap, clarity and sustain. Marrying these tonewoods proves once again that exceptional instruments are greater than the sum of their parts.
Authentic 1959 Gibson Les Paul Design and Appointments
Attention to detail completes the vintage vibe. This Les Paul has a stopbar tailpiece, tune-o-matic bridge and Kluson tuners - all perfectly matched to 1959 specifications. The hardware goes through the same heavy aging treatment, flaunting a hard-earned patina. Oozing mojo through every pore, the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue delivers on looks, feel and tone. Its ultra heavy relic treatment makes this historic reissue feel like your trusty companion for the past 50 years. Order the Murphy Lab '59 Les Paul today and add some serious vintage vibe to your collection.
