Constructed From Mahogany and Maple

This classic ’58 Gibson Les Paul Standard features a mahogany body and figured maple top, just like the classic. Marrying the two unique woods makes for a combination like no other.

Chunky C-Shape Neck

The mahogany neck has a Chunky C-shaped profile, which will make this Les Paul Standard feel like it belongs in your hands. Adding extra playing pleasure is the rosewood fretboard with narrow frets. With the Chunky neck profile for maximum bending leverage and a stunning maple top, this Les Paul Reissue is instantly comfortable to play.

Powerful Pickups

The Les Paul 1958 Standard Reissue is packed with a pair of Gibson CustomBuckers that sound authentically 1958. If you’re looking for an electric guitar that delivers that vintage PAF tone, you won’t find it in another one.

Historic Hardware

The ABR-1 bridge with lightweight aluminum Stop Bar stopbar tailpiece, and vintage-style Kluson tuners match original ’58 specs. They also bear the patina of the past, thanks to the Murphy Lab's aging process.

Heavy Aged Finish

The Murphy Lab puts this guitar through a Heavy Aging process, simulating a half century of life on the road. That means plenty of buckle rash, plus light arm, neck and peghead wear. The lacquer checking patterns stick out prominently (and beautifully); the hardware is heavily-aged to match.

The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue comes with a certificate of authenticity and a brown and pink reissue 5-latch hardshell case.
