Premium tonewoods and construction
At the heart of the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard is a combination of high-grade tonewoods that deliver exceptional resonance and sustain. The body is crafted from lightweight mahogany, carefully selected for its warm, rich tone, and topped with a two-piece figured maple cap. This classic wood combination is not only visually stunning but also provides the perfect balance of brightness and warmth. The hide-glue construction, a hallmark of vintage guitar craftsmanship, ensures a superior connection between the top and body, enhancing the instrument’s overall resonance and response.
Custombucker pickups for vintage tone
The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard is equipped with Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, specially designed to capture the vintage PAF sound that defined the original 1959 models. These pickups are unpotted, preserving the authentic tonal characteristics of the era, offering a clear, dynamic response with incredible touch sensitivity. Perfect for smooth, creamy leads or rich, articulate rhythms, these pickups deliver the unmistakable tone of a classic Les Paul.
Effortless playability with a classic neck
The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard is designed for supreme playability, thanks to its 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile. This classic neck shape offers a comfortable grip that feels substantial without being too bulky, making it ideal for both chordal work and lead playing. The Indian rosewood fingerboard is adorned with cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, adding a touch of elegance, while the medium-jumbo frets offer a smooth and precise playing experience.
Premium hardware and historic details
No detail has been overlooked in the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard. The hardware features a lightly aged nickel finish, adding to the vintage aesthetic, while the Kluson single line, single ring tuning machines ensure rock-solid tuning stability. The ABR-1 bridge with nickel-plated brass saddles and a lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece provide precise intonation and excellent sustain. The guitar also includes a brown and pink Lifton reissue 5-latch case, complete with a certificate of authenticity for the full Gibson package.
