The Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue, seen here with Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged hardware and a stylish Factory Burst finish, is an ultra-precise clone of the game-changing late 1950s Les Paul Standard. The neck has been carved with an Authentic '59 Medium C-Shape profile, and is topped with a bound Indian Rosewood fingerboard, with 22 Historic Medium-Jumbo frets, and Trapezoid fret markers, for an authentic late 1950s playing experience. Classic Les Paul Standard Voice As this guitar represents the birth of a legend - the very first Les Paul to come equipped with humbuckers - Gibson have opted to use the vintage-voiced CustomBucker. These low-output pickups come equipped with Alnico III magnets, and produce the Holy Grail of Gibson tones, with a PAF-like voice that's both rich and articulate. Each of these pickups features independent Volume and Tone controls, allowing you to dial in those sweet spots, whilst the 3-way selector switch lets you choose the perfect voice for your situation. Murphy Lab Guitars Gibson's all-new Murphy Lab Collection is a showcase of premium-quality guitars, that feature Ultra Light Aged finish treatments, with lightly aged hardware. This combination helps to simulate decades of light play wear, for a unique character, vibe, and feel, reminiscent of a genuine "Golden Era" Les Paul.
