Equipped with Gibson's renowned PAF pickups, it offers a dynamic range of tonal possibilities—from smooth, singing lead lines to thick, powerful rhythm sounds. The aged honey burst finish enhances its vintage charm, while the ultra-heavy relic treatment provides a worn-in feel and look that’s truly one of a kind.
Perfect for collectors, studio musicians, and players seeking a guitar with a genuine vintage vibe and exceptional playability. Experience the timeless sound and aesthetic of a truly legendary instrument with the 2013 Gibson 1959 Heavy Aged Honey Burst Les Paul.
This Gibson 1959 Ultra Heavy Aged Honey Burst Les Paul was built in 2013 and comes with its original aged Lifton-style hardcase and certificate. This was built at a time when Tom Murphy and only a couple of others were ageing the guitars back before the Murphy Labs became a department at Gibson. There is a possibility that Tom himself worked on this; however, there doesn’t seem to be the ‘’T and M’’ markings you often see in the lacquer checking near the tone knob, so that is why we are not advertising it as a Tom Murphy aged guitar.
Andertons Guitar Gallery specialists have checked and tested this pre-loved guitar to make sure it is in top form.
This guitar features a stunning top with beautiful figuring all over it, which really pops in an amazing green lemon fade finish that has been aged to look and feel like a very old guitar. It also sports a dark piece of rosewood on the fretboard too which feels silky smooth to play.
This guitar looks and, more importantly, actually feels like a real well-played '59 burst ( I look after one and have spent a lot of time with it), and this has all the characteristics of an old guitar that’s been played for years and years.
It’s currently set up with a set of 10s and feels great to play.
