The Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Green Lemon Fade Heavy Aged at a glance.
As a tribute to the legendary design of the Les Paul of 1959, the Gibson Custom Shop in collaboration with the aging specialists at Murphy Lab, offers an extremely successful recreation of the archetype. From the turned wood selection to the hand-wired electronics to the texture of Finish and Hardware, the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Green Lemon Fade Heavy Aged really does offer everything a classic '59 Les Paul should.
Prickly maple top and mahogany neck with long neck base.
The basis of the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Green Lemon Fade Heavy Aged is its basic construction of selected tonewoods, as they were used in the late fifties. Accordingly, the body is made of a solid piece of mahogany and finished with a two-piece curly maple top with a fancy flame. Of course, in the recipe of a good Fifties Les Paul may not be missing the long neck tenon of the mahogany neck glued up to under the neck pickup.

Two Gibson Custom Bucker with Alnico III magnets are responsible for the unique PAF 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 dual coils with two Custom Bucker humbuckers. Hand-wound in the Gibson Custom Shop, the pickups feature Alnico III magnets for a warm and vocal tone character and have non-waxed coils, clearly preserving the treble content in the signal. The electronics wiring is also completely hand-wired and holds original components of the golden LP era with CTS potentiometers for volume and tone and oil paper capacitors.
Detailed playing marks on typical areas of the body skillfully depict the tasteful Murphy Lab Heavy-Aged treatment.
Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Treatment
The Murphy Lab, founded by ageing legend Tom Murphy, consists of a number of experts who analyze in detail the varnish texture and ageing process of the hardware of original instruments and recreate it authentically in the 1959 Les Paul Standard Green Lemon Fade Heavy Aged. The Heavy Aged Treatment here represents a more severe ageing process and simulates the accumulated signs of wear in the form of visible playing marks of an instrument that has been played frequently over the years. The composition of the nitro varnish was also taken into account here so that the instrument can develop additional ageing characteristics over time.
