Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue – Kindred Burst Ultra Heavy Aged
Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged Tribute to the Legendary 1959 Les Paul
The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is far more than a tribute to one of the most legendary guitars ever made it is a painstakingly accurate recreation of the priceless originals. From laser-scanned dimensions and historically correct plastics to precisely matched sunburst finishes, every detail has been recreated with remarkable authenticity. This model represents decades of dedication from the Gibson Custom Shop team, delivering what many consider the most accurate representation of the iconic 1959 Les Paul since Historic Reissues first began over twenty-five years ago.
Finished with Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aging, this instrument showcases the artistry of Gibson’s master craftsmen. The finish and hardware display extensive simulated wear that reflects decades of intense playing, capturing the character, feel, and visual charm of a vintage guitar from Gibson’s Golden Era. The result is a guitar that not only looks like a true vintage original but also feels broken-in and inspiring the moment you pick it up.
