Slow Iced Tea is the Murphy Lab finish for people who have looked at a lot of real bursts. It is the colour a sunburst goes when the red has faded unevenly over decades rather than been removed altogether: still amber and brown at the edges, still some warmth left in the middle, none of the orange that gives a young burst away.

Heavy Aged, so the lacquer is checked throughout and the hardware has been taken well past new.

A '59 Les Paul Standard underneath, which is the one everything else is measured against. Solid mahogany with a maple top, mahogany neck, Indian rosewood board with cellulose trapezoid inlays, 24.75" scale. Unpotted Custombucker Alnico IIIs, CTS 500K audio taper pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, ABR-1 and lightweight aluminium stopbar, Kluson tuners.
