As a tribute to the legendary version of the Les Paul from the 1959 production year, the Gibson Custom Shop in collaboration with the aging specialists atGibson Murphy Lab,now presents an extremely successful recreation of the model from the golden era of the late fifties. From the choice of wood used and the hand-wiredelectronics to the finish and hardware, the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Iguana Burst Ultra Heavy Aged really does offer everything that makes a classic '59 Les Paul.
The Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Iguana Burst Ultra Heavy Aged #931036 with authentic aging treatment from the Gibson Murphy Lab and refreshing Iguana Burst look.
Curly maple top and mahogany neck with long neck foot
The basis of the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard is its basic construction made from selected tonewoods that were already used in the late 1950s. Accordingly, the body is made from a solid piece of mahogany and is finished with a two-piece flamed maple top with a chic flame. Of course, the long neck tenon of the mahogany neck, which is glued right up to the neck pickup, is an essential part of the recipe for a good Fifties Les Paul.
Two Gibson Custom Buckers with Alnico III magnets are responsible for the unique P.A.F. sound.
Gibson Custom Bucker with paper-in-oil caps
For appropriate sounds of the legendary PAF humbucker, Gibson relies on successful replicas of the coveted P.A.F. double coilers with twoCustom Bucker humbuckers. The Gibson Custom Shop hand-wound pickups are fitted with Alnico III magnets for a warm and vocal sound character and have unwaxed coils, which means that the treble content in the signal is clearly retained. The electrical wiring is also completely hand-wired and features CTS potentiometers for Volume and Tone and oil-paper capacitors, which are true to the original components of the golden LP era.
The tasteful Murphy Lab heavy-aged treatment is skillfully reproduced by detailed play marks in typical areas of the body.
Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Treatment
The Murphy Lab, founded by ageing legend Tom Murphy, consists of a number of experts who analyze the finish and ageing process of Hardware original instruments in detail and recreate them authentically in the context of the 1959 Les Paul Standard. The Ultra Heavy Aged Treatment represents the most severe ageing process and simulates the accumulated signs of wear and tear in the form of clearly visible traces of playing an instrument over the years. The composition of the nitrocellulose lacquer has also been taken into account, so that the instrument can develop additional aging characteristics over time.
