Available now is a definitive example of the 1959 Reissue, finished in the timeless Factory Burst. This 2024 model features the Ultra-Light Aging package from the Murphy Lab, providing a finish characterized by the delicate, vertical lacquer checking found on "under-the-bed" vintage originals, without the heavy simulated wear of the heavier aging tiers.
