Roadhouse USA:
2021 Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab ’59 Les Paul Standard Reissue Ultra Light Aged.
This is the first Murphy Lab Les Paul I have had in stock. I’ve had dozens and dozens of aged CS Les Pauls, but this Ultra Light Murphy Lab is very cool and holds its own with any of the others I have seen.
8.5 lbs
I believe this color is Southern Fade Burst
The Ultra Light Aging is very nice, it is, for the most part, confined to finish checking on this variation. I took extensive pics, so take a look at them. I think they did an incredible job aging this guitar. The attention to detail is incredible.
Comes as pictured with COA, all original case candy and original case.

The Holy Grail
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 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 Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of natural play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
