Description
The all-new Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Murphy Lab Aged Brazilian represents the peak of electric guitar craftsmanship. Built incorporating every ounce of Tom Murphy's knowledge, creativity, and passion for vintage Gibsons, this Les Paul isn't your typical Murphy Lab guitar - it's even better. From its hand-picked materials to its unique finish and aging process, this Les Paul Standard is a fantastic guitar from top to bottom - and is one of only 50 made in this striking Tom's Dark Burst finish.
Tom Murphy and the Gibson Custom Shop artisans went through painstaking detail to ensure this guitar looks, sounds, and plays like nothing else available on the market. For starters, it sports a AAAA figured maple top specifically hand-picked for release. It also features a super lightweight mahogany body that delivers deep lows, rich mids, and exceptional sustain - all while being remarkably light and comfortable.
Tonally, this Les Paul is in a league of its own. Its Custombucker Alnico 5 pickups churn out a decadent array of classic Gibson tones, enhanced further by its CTS 500K Audio Taper pots and paper-in-oil capacitors. But that's not all this masterpiece has to offer - it plays with a remarkable feel, courtesy of its 50s medium rounded "C"-shaped mahogany neck and top-quality Brazilian rosewood fingerboard.
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Murphy Lab Aged Brazilian is far from your average single-cut, and its stunning appearance proves it. Coated in a special Tom's Dark Burst finish developed and selected by Tom Murphy himself, there isn't a single Les Paul out there that looks like this guitar. Plus, its custom-aged plating and plastics are exclusive to this limited run - it's completely distinct from other Murphy Lab models.
Complete with an aged brown/pink hardshell case and a leather-bound C.O.A., the Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Murphy Lab Aged Brazilian is simply one of the finest Les Pauls ever built. Whether you're a gigging performer or an avid collector, you need to check out this incredible Gibson guitar - nothing quite compares to its extraordinary quality.
