Premium Custom Shop 1959 reissue 'R9' Les Paul with Murphy Lab Ageing. This was issued by the official Gibson Demo Shop, so it's from their 'approved preowned' collection and authenticity is guaranteed.
It is covered in factory lacquer checking for that vintage feel and has a stunning flame top. It has the Gibson 'demo' stamp on the back of the headstock and has some notable wear to the finish on the edges from use, please see photos.
This authentic recreation exemplifies Gibson Custom Shop's tireless quest for accuracy to the original year of production, from the woods to the construction and parts. Each Custom Shop Reissue is every bit the instrument and statement piece as the priceless vintage examples, and the Murphy Lab ageing, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of subtle playing wear — giving it the unique character, vibe and feel of an original example from Gibson's "Golden Era".
It's period correct features include a lightweight Mahogany 1-piece back with Maple top, fairly chunky C-profile Mahogany neck with Indian Rosewood fingerboard, 12” radius, Hide Glue fit, Narrow/Tall frets, Long-tenon, No-wire ABR-1 bridge with lightweight Aluminium stop bar, vintage style Kluson tuners and Custom Bucker Alnico III unwaxed pickups which sound absolutely superb and offer up classic, vintage Les Paul tone. It has 2x Volume, 2x Tone controls and all-quality components including CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers, Paper-in-Oil Capacitors and Switchcraft 3-way pickup selector.
It comes with its paperwork and Lifton Custom Shop case to keep it protected.
