I'm selling my Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue, finished in the Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Slow Iced Tea Fade. I purchased it new and it’s only ever been played inside my home—no gigging, smoke-free environment, and always stored in case or humified environment.
The guitar is in "excellent" condition but placed as "very good" condition simply because this is a Heavy Relic Murphy Lab guitar, so it came from the factory with significant relic work (finish checking, simulated wear, buckle rash, and hardware aging). All cosmetic wear you see is part of Gibson’s Murphy Lab process. I haven’t added any wear of my own, and the guitar is in the exact condition it arrived in. I’m happy to answer questions or provide additional photos if you’d like a closer look at specific areas.
The guitar plays and feels exactly as it did when it left the factory: smooth, resonant, and exceptionally well-set-up.
I purchased new in 2022 from Sweetwater; comes with the original Gibson hardshell case and all case candy.

It’s a fantastic example of a Murphy Lab ’59. The only reason I’m selling is that I'm trimming down my collection. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests for specific photos.
