OVERVIEW

Gibson Custom Shop's 1959 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models -- it's a clone of them. With a playability that authentically replicates the '59 models, the Gibson Murphy Lab Ultra Lite '59 Les Paul Standard Factory Burst with Case will transport you back to the classic tone and feel of 1959.

From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop's expert team -- a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. Each detail has been faithfully captured to bring the 1959 Les Paul Standard to life - an exact representation of the iconic instrument.

It’s the definition of cool, and it's the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago. It features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Ultra Lite Aging gives the guitar a naturally worn look and feel, which lends it incredible level of playability not found in many guitars of its caliber.

The Gibson Murphy Lab Ultra Lite '59 Les Paul Standard Factory Burst is a beautiful example of craftsmanship and quality. It offers a unique finish treatment, lightly aged hardware, and light play wear simulation to give it a vintage vibe and feel from the Gibson Golden era.
