Mahogany and Maple Construction
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.Solid Neck Specs
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.Powerful Pickups
Nailing the tone of a P.A.F. 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 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 handwired harness with paper-in-oil capacitors and 500K CTS pots supplies sonic variations; the rest is up to you.Historic Hardware
The Murphy Lab LP Standard has a stopbar tailpiece, Tune-O-Matic bridge and Kluson tuners that match original ’59 specs. The hardware shines, but has a patina that can't hide its age.Ultra Light Aged Finish
The Murphy Lab puts this guitar through its Ultra Light aging process, showing slight lacquer checking, but very little playing wear. The nitrocellulose lacquer was reverse-engineered for historical authenticity. The end result is a Les Paul that looks like it has spent the bulk of its life in a case.The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue comes with a certificate of authenticity, and a brown and pink reissue 5-latch hardshell case.
