A tribute to the legendary 1959 version of the Les Paul by the Gibson Custom Shop. From the turned wood selection to the hand-wired electronics to the finish and hardware, the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Green Lemon Fade Heavy Aged really does offer everything that makes a classic '59 Les Paul.

The basis of the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard is its basic construction made from selected tonewoods as used in the late 1950s. Accordingly, the body is made from a solid piece of mahogany and is finished with a two-piece curly flamed maple top. The long neck tenon of the mahogany neck is glued right up to the neck pickup, should not be missing from the recipe for a good Fifties Les Paul.

The hand-wound pick-ups are fitted with Alnico III magnets for a warm and vocal sound character and have non-waxed coils, which means that the treble content in the signal is clearly retained. The electronics wiring is also completely hand-wired and features original components from the golden LP era with CTS potmeters for volume and tone.

The Heavy Aged Green Lemon Fade shows that Gibson Murphy Lab has mastered the art of aging treatment. The guitar truly does look like it has been played frequently over the years.

Because the effects of the nitrocellulose lacquer has also been taken into account you can not tell what is done by the aging proces at Murphy Lab and what is the wear and tear by the previous owner. This makes this 2024 model unique and in great shape.

Comes with a hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity and a TFOA passport.
