As a tribute to the legendary 1959 version of the Les Paul, the Gibson Custom Shop in collaboration with the aging specialists at the Murphy Lab offers an extremely successful recreation of the original. From the turned wood selection to the hand-wired electronics to the finish of Finish and Hardware, the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Lemon Burst Ultra Heavy Aged really does offer everything that makes a classic '59 Les Paul.
Flamed maple top and mahogany neck with long neck foot
The basis of the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Lemon Burst Ultra Heavy Aged is its basic construction made from selected tonewoods that were used in the late 1950s. Accordingly, the body consists of a solid piece of mahogany and is finished with a two-piece curly 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, should not be missing in the recipe for a good Fifties Les Paul.
Gibson Custom Bucker with paper-in-oil caps
For appropriate sounds of the legendary PAF humbucker, Gibson relies on successful replicas of the coveted double coilers with two custom bucker humbuckers. The Gibson Custom Shop hand-wound pickups are fitted with Alnico III magnets for a warm and vocal sound character and have non-waxed coils, which means that the treble content in the signal is clearly retained. The electronics wiring is also completely hand-wired and features original components from the golden LP era with CTS potentiometers for Volume and Tone and oil paper capacitors.
Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged Treatment
The Murphy Lab, founded by aging legend Tom Murphy, consists of a number of experts who analyze the finish and aging process of Hardware original instruments in detail and recreate them authentically as part of the 1959 Les Paul Standard Lemon Burst Ultra Heavy Aged treatment. The Ultra Heavy Aged treatment represents the Murphy Lab's most intensive aging process and simulates strong signs of wear and tear in the form of clearly visible traces of an instrument that has been played on countless tours and stages over the years. The composition of the nitrocellulose lacquer was also taken into account, so that the instrument can develop additional aging characteristics over time.
