Here, Tom and his personally trained team of artists use cutting-edge technology and Tom's own processes, developed over years of careful testing, to produce perfect replicas of golden-age Gibsons, each dressed with Tom's brand of authentic, hand-applied playwear, and scientifically reverse-engineered nitrocellulose lacquer, identical to that which the brand used in the 1950s and 1960s. Each Murphy Lab model corresponds to one of four distinct aging levels and features extra-rolled fingerboard binding for a broken-in feel and true-to-life look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003eGibson Custom Shop's 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models -- it's a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop's expert team -- a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it's the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago. It features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: LPR59PSL17682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eSerial Number#: \u003c\/strong\u003e933994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eWeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e6lbs 11oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/strong\u003eLes Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Material: \u003c\/strong\u003e1-Piece Light Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eTop Material: \u003c\/strong\u003e2-Piece Figured Maple (CME Hand-Selected)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Color: \u003c\/strong\u003eDirty Lemon Fade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/strong\u003eNitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eRelic\/Aging Level: \u003c\/strong\u003eMurphy Lab Ultra Light Aged\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBody Binding: \u003c\/strong\u003eCream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Shape: \u003c\/strong\u003eCarmelita\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Binding: \u003c\/strong\u003eCream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Joint: \u003c\/strong\u003eSet Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/strong\u003e24.75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFingerboard Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eIndian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFingerboard Inlay: \u003c\/strong\u003eMother of Pearl Trapezoids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/strong\u003e12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eSide Marker Inlay: \u003c\/strong\u003eFaux Tortoise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/strong\u003e22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFret Wire: \u003c\/strong\u003eReissue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/strong\u003e1.69\" (42.85mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eNylon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eHeadstock Veneer: \u003c\/strong\u003eHolly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eHeadstock Inlay\/Decal: \u003c\/strong\u003eGibson Logo and Les Paul Model Silkscreen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eFactory Tuning: \u003c\/strong\u003eE Standard (E-A-D-G-B-E)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003c\/strong\u003eTrue Historic Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eTuning Machines: \u003c\/strong\u003eKluson Reissue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eHardware Color: \u003c\/strong\u003eNickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBridge: \u003c\/strong\u003eABR-1 Non-Wire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eTailpiece: \u003c\/strong\u003eLightweight Aluminum Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/strong\u003eTrue Historic Creme\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eKnobs: \u003c\/strong\u003eTrue Historic Gold Top Hat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eSwitch Cap: \u003c\/strong\u003eTrue Historic Amber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eNeck Pickup: \u003c\/strong\u003eGibson Custom \"S\" Bucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eBridge Pickup: \u003c\/strong\u003eGibson Custom \"S\" Bucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eControls and Switching: \u003c\/strong\u003e2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-Way Switch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eElectronics Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003eVintage Taper Potentiometers and Paper-in-Oil Capacitors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003eCase: \u003c\/strong\u003eHardshell Case\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40771931537543,"sku":"LPR59PSL17682-933994","price":6147.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/gibson-electric-guitars-solid-body-gibson-custom-shop-murphy-lab-1959-les-paul-standard-cme-spec-chambered-dirty-lemon-fade-ultra-light-aged-w-lightweight-back-lpr59psl17682-933994-30_cc362b48-e256-4199-b428-30d41e099307.jpg?v=1702918559","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-murphy-lab-1959-les-paul-standard-1299275","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
