Description:
This 2021 Gibson Custom 1959 Reissue Les Paul Standard Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aging with a Lemon Burst Finish is a startling recreation of the original holy grail guitar. Built in the Custom Shop with period-correct appointments and superior attention to detail, its journey continued in the Murphy Lab. Utilizing aging techniques created by Master Artisan Tom Murphy, this Standard emerged looking like a vintage Gibson with five decades of heavy playing and on-stage abuse. Loaded with a set of CustomBuckers, the Ultra Heavy-aged ’59 Standard sets a new one for historical authenticity, and will become the centerpiece of your collection.
There’s no reason to mess with perfection—this Murphy Lab Les Paul has a lightweight mahogany body and figured maple top, just like in 1959. Marrying two unique woods proves that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The mahogany neck has an authentic ’59 medium C-shape. The fretboard is rosewood; extra-rolled binding mimics the feel of a broken-in Gibson. It also disrupts the evenness of the yellowed lacquer with a wear pattern that matches a naturally aged instrument.
Nailing the tone of a PAF pickup on a late ’50s Les Paul has sent some on the biggest fool’s quest since Coronado searched for the cities of gold. Fortunately, the Gibson Custom Shop is stocked with the type of folk that rise to the occasion. The resulting CustomBuckers sound so authentically 1959, you’ll swear Eisenhower is still president. A hand-wired harness with paper-in-oil capacitors and 500K CTS pots supplies sonic variations; the rest is up to you. The Murphy Lab LP Standard has a stopbar tailpiece, tune-o-matic bridge and Kluson tuners that match original ’59 specs.
The Murphy Lab puts this guitar through its Ultra Heavy aging process, equivalent to decades of hard playing and on-stage abuse. Heavy arm and pick wear has worn off the finish in some spots, exposing raw wood. The neck and peghead both show scrapes and scratches; the back is covered with major buckle rash. The hardware goes through the same aging process, displaying dings and a well-deserved patina. Unplayed, MINT Shape 10/10! It is entirely original and free from any breaks, cracks, or repairs. Included with this guitar is an Original Hard-Shell Case and a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net! Thank you for considering this exceptional instrument from Lovies Guitars!
