Used (2020 Model)

A true gem from the Gibson Custom Shop, this 2020 Murphy Lab 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue has arrived in used condition. Finished in a beautifully subdued Bourbon Burst, this is an early Murphy Lab piece from its inaugural year—an exceptional and highly desirable example.

The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged treatment avoids excessive relicing while faithfully recreating the subtle textures of aged lacquer, fine weather checking, and lightly tarnished hardware. The result is a guitar that feels naturally broken-in from the moment you pick it up, with the look and vibe of a well-loved vintage instrument.

Notably, this guitar was produced in 2020, just prior to the global rollout of the Murphy Lab program, making it part of the very first wave of instruments from this new era of the Custom Shop. You can truly feel the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined these early builds. The understated plain maple top enhances the depth and character of the Bourbon Burst finish, offering a refined, authentic vintage aesthetic favored by discerning players.

The neck features a comfortable ’50s Rounded profile, providing a solid grip and excellent resonance while accurately translating the player’s picking nuances.

It is equipped with Custombucker pickups, designed with vintage PAF inspiration. They deliver a tone that is both clear and rich, with warmth and sustain. Clean tones are full of harmonic complexity and depth, while driven sounds offer a thick, singing midrange with smooth articulation.

Traditional construction methods—such as hide glue construction, long tenon neck joint, and a lightweight mahogany body—contribute to its outstanding acoustic resonance. The responsiveness and dimensionality when amplified are exactly what you expect from a Historic Reissue.

Please note: Based on the fret edge finishing (absence of nibs) and the slightly narrower fret shape, this guitar is believed to have been refretted. The work has been executed very cleanly, with smooth fret edges, and it actually enhances playability. It is in excellent, ready-to-play condition.

Combining the inspiring feel of a true vintage instrument with the reliability of modern craftsmanship, this is a Les Paul you can own for a lifetime.

Don’t miss this opportunity.
