The Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue goes far beyond a tribute to the legendary originals — it is an exceptionally detailed recreation of them.  From precisely laser-scanned dimensions and historically accurate plastics to carefully colour-matched sunburst finishes, every aspect has been meticulously reproduced with remarkable attention to detail.  This instrument represents the result of decades of dedication from the Gibson Custom Shop's expert craftspeople, whose pursuit of accuracy and authenticity has helped bring the character of these iconic vintage instruments to today's players.  It stands as an exceptional recreation of the legendary 1959 Les Paul Standard and reflects the highest level of craftsmanship achieved through Gibson's Historic Reissue program.  This model features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab.  The Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, combined with lightly aged hardware, recreates the appearance and feel of decades of gentle playing wear, giving the instrument the distinctive character, vibe, and tactile experience of an original guitar from Gibson's Golden Era.
