Description
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue: A Vintage Masterpiece
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue from the Murphy Lab is a carefully crafted recreation of the legendary late-'50s Les Paul. Using advanced aging techniques, master luthier Tom Murphy has replicated every detail of a vintage guitar, from the finish cracks to the hardware patina. This 59 Les Paul combines the classic look, feel, and tone of a ‘50s Gibson with modern precision. Limited to only 50 guitars, the 59 Gibson Les Paul is a rare and collectible instrument for players and collectors alike.
Aged for a Vintage Look and Feel
The Murphy Lab used exclusive techniques to make this guitar look like it’s been naturally aged for decades. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is cracked and worn to mimic years of playing, and the hardware has been carefully aged for an authentic vintage vibe. Each guitar comes with a leather-bound Certificate of Authenticity and an insert that highlights its rarity, making it a true collector’s item.
Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard for Rich Tone
The 59 Les Paul features a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, known for its warm, rich tone and smooth feel. This high-quality wood enhances the sustain and overtones of each note, making your playing sound dynamic and complex. Paired with Custombucker pickups, the fingerboard helps deliver the classic tone that made the original late-’50s Les Paul famous.
Lightweight Mahogany Body for Resonance
The lightweight mahogany body of the 59 Gibson Les Paul was chosen to maximize resonance and sustain. This design lets the guitar vibrate freely, producing a full, rich sound that feels alive in your hands. The AAAA figured maple top adds to the guitar’s striking appearance while contributing to its signature tone.
Custom Humbuckers for Legendary Sound
The Custombucker humbuckers are designed to recreate the legendary sound of the original PAF pickups from the 1950s. These pickups use Alnico V magnets and unpotted coils to deliver warm cleans, articulate mids, and soaring leads. Whether you’re playing blues, rock, or jazz, the Custombuckers give you authentic vintage tone.
Premium Case and Extras
The 59 Les Paul comes with an aged Lifton hardshell case, complete with a pink plush interior and Gibson logo. This case adds to the guitar’s vintage style while keeping it safe during transport. The package also includes a Certificate of Authenticity and a rarity insert, emphasizing its limited-edition status.
