Gibson Custom Shop is proud to introduce the first-ever 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Limited Edition Murphy Lab Aged With Brazilian Rosewood. This amazing limited run incorporates Tom Murphy’s deep knowledge of vintage guitars, his passion for the craft, and inspired creativity to bring his vision of the ultimate 1959 Les Paul™ Standard reissues to life. These rare gems are available in the USA only from Gibson Custom Shop at authorized, premium Gibson dealers and on Gibson.com.
What else makes this release astonishing? Featuring only 50 guitars in each of the six color options, hand-selected by Tom Murphy himself, the guitars boast high-quality materials: Brazilian rosewood fretboards, ultra-lightweight mahogany bodies, and hand-picked AAAA-figured maple tops reserved specifically for these fine instruments.
The Murphy Lab aging process for this run of guitars is unique, offering a heavy treatment that sets them apart, including custom-aged plated and plastic parts. Every guitar comes with a leather-bound certificate of authenticity and an aged Lifton™ hardshell case, enhancing their exceptional value.
The six finishes are named after Custom Shop Master Luthier Tom Murphy, including Tom’s Cherry, Tom’s Tea, Tom’s Lemon Burst, Tom’s Tri-Burst and Tom’s Dark Burst—each of the above five colors are available at select dealers. A sixth color, the Murphy Burst, is available exclusively at the Gibson Garage and at Gibson.com.
