Stunning Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue (R9) Murphy Lab Heavy Aged.
A particularly beautiful example featuring a striking figured maple top. The wide flame figuring and warm vintage burst give this R9 a fantastic appearance, changing beautifully depending on the viewing angle and light.
The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged treatment has been executed extremely convincingly, not only on the top but throughout the entire instrument, including the back, neck and hardware. It gives the guitar the authentic look and feel of a well-played original ’59 Burst.
The 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue represents the very best of the Gibson Custom Shop and is built to be as faithful a recreation as possible of the legendary 1959 Les Paul Standard.
