Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue Ultra Light Aged Electric Guitar in Bourbon Burst

The 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue features all the painstaking historic construction methods of the famous '59 Reissues, with a few period-correct spec differences that allow it to stand on its own.

Like the 1958 originals, it features narrow frets which help more of the fingerboard wood to be heard in the tonal profile. It also has a round, chunky neck profile that provides a full feel and maximum bending leverage. It has a beautiful plain maple top too — full of spellbinding character.

The Murphy Lab 'Ultra Light Aged' finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of subtle playing wear — giving it the unique character, vibe and feel of an original example from Gibson's "Golden Era".
