Gibson - Murphy Lab Heavy Aged '59 Les Paul Standard - Slow Ice Tea Fade
Gibson 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 colour-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail, making it the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over 25 years ago.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Hand-selected mahogany body with carved maple top for the iconic Les Paul tonal balance. PAF-inspired humbuckers delivering thick, warm, endlessly sustaining tone. Set-neck construction for enhanced resonance and sustain. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish that lets the wood breathe and mature.
Keep the neck pickup volume at 7 with the bridge at full, then switch to the middle position - you'll discover a shimmering clarity and chime that most Les Paul players never explore. It's like finding a hidden third voice.
A Gibson Les Paul is rock history in your hands. From Slash's searing 'November Rain' solo to Joe Bonamassa's devastating blues tone, this guitar has defined what electric guitar should sound like for generations. The combination of mahogany warmth, maple brightness, and humbucker power creates a voice that's instantly recognizable and endlessly inspiring. Once you play a well-set-up Les Paul, nothing else quite scratches the same itch.
