The Gibson Murphy Lab ’59 Les Paul Standard is a masterful recreation of one of the most coveted guitars in history. Finished in 2020 with Ultra Light Aging, this Murphy Lab model (#901178) captures the look, feel, and tone of a well-preserved original 1959 Les Paul.

Built by Gibson’s Custom Shop, this Les Paul features a carved maple top on a solid mahogany body, delivering the legendary sustain and resonance that defined late-’50s Gibsons. The mahogany neck with a ’59 medium C profile and rosewood fingerboard ensures authentic vintage playability, while 22 medium jumbo frets and a 24.75" scale provide timeless feel and comfort.

Equipped with CustomBucker Alnico III humbuckers, the Murphy Lab ’59 offers warm, articulate cleans, dynamic crunch, and soaring lead tones. The Aging treatment adds subtle checking, patina, and finish wear—giving it the vibe of a guitar that has been played, loved, and carefully preserved for decades.
