 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Kindred Burst Ultra Heavy Aged

The Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard is not just a tribute to the precious original, but a true clone. From laser-scanned dimensions to perfectly recreated chemical plastics, to perfectly reproduced colors in every nuance, every element has been crafted with incredible detail. The result of decades of experience from the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville and the obsessive pursuit of perfect reproduction, it is probably the best representation ever made of the 1959 Les Paul. The Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged treatment, crafted by Tom Murphy's team of artisans, simulates decades of the instrument's life, giving it a unique character and feel.
