Gibson - 1959 Les Paul Standard Lemon Burst Ultra Heavy Aged

The 1959 Les Paul Standard Lemon Burst Ultra Heavy Aged represents the pinnacle of Gibson craftsmanship and pays homage to a legendary era. This reissue, designed by Gibson’s Custom Shop, is more than just a guitar: it is a meticulous replica of the original 1959 models, often referred to as the “Holy Grail” of the music world.

Every detail, from the solid flamed maple and mahogany construction to the extremely aged finish crafted by Murphy Lab, is a testament to Gibson’s commitment to authenticity and perfection.

The flamed maple top, precision-fit with hide glue, rests on a lightweight, one-piece mahogany back. This choice of tonewood gives the instrument unmatched resonance and sustain.

The Indian rosewood fingerboard with nitrocellulose trapezoid inlays provides exceptional playing comfort, while the "50s Rounded Medium C" neck profile ensures an optimal grip, faithful to the original.

The Ultra Heavy Aging carried out by the artisans at Murphy Lab adds a unique visual dimension. The simulated marks of years of intensive playing, combined with the aged nickel-plated hardware, create the illusion of an instrument that has crossed decades of musical history.

This treatment provides an authentic feel and vibration, evoking the most sought-after vintage models.

On the tone side, the unwaxed Custom Bucker Alnico 3 pickups reproduce the warmth and clarity of Gibson's legendary PAFs. From crystal-clear cleans to bold distortions, this Les Paul offers remarkable sonic versatility.

CTS 500K potentiometers and Paper-in-Oil capacitors provide a tight and dynamic tonal response.

Every aspect of this guitar is a celebration of Gibson heritage, down to details like the cellulose acetate pickguard and vintage Kluson tuners.

Coming in an aged five-saddle Lifton case, along with a Certificate of Authenticity and exclusive accessories, this Les Paul is a treasure for discerning collectors and players.

The 1959 Les Paul Standard Lemon Burst Ultra Heavy Aged is more than just an instrument: it’s a piece of history in your hands, ready to write new chapters in modern music.
