There are few electric guitars that have shaped modern music as profoundly as the 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Available right now at Haggerty's Music, this Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue captures the spirit of one of the most coveted vintage guitars ever built while offering the precision and reliability of modern craftsmanship. Originally produced during what many collectors consider Gibson's "Golden Era," the 1959 Les Paul has become the benchmark against which virtually every premium electric guitar is measured. Revered by legendary players across blues, rock, jazz, country, and fusion, original examples have become some of the world's most valuable instruments, inspiring Gibson Custom Shop to recreate every nuance with extraordinary attention to detail.
This Limited Edition model elevates that legacy even further through the artistry of Gibson's Murphy Lab. Led by renowned finish expert Tom Murphy, the Murphy Lab has redefined vintage recreations by developing painstaking aging techniques that authentically replicate decades of natural wear, checking, oxidation, and lacquer aging. The Heavy Aged treatment extends far beyond cosmetics; every worn edge, dulled piece of hardware, subtle finish checking pattern, and broken-in feel has been carefully executed by hand to create an instrument that immediately feels like a treasured original that's been played on countless stages over generations. Combined with the exclusive Molten Amber Burst finish and hand-selected AAA figured maple top chosen by Gibson's “Made to Measure” team, no two guitars are exactly alike.
Beneath its vintage-inspired appearance lies everything players expect from an exceptional late-'50s Les Paul. A lightweight, one-piece mahogany body without weight relief provides the rich resonance, sustain, and harmonic complexity that define the model, while the one-piece mahogany neck carved to the revered Authentic 1959 profile offers a substantial yet remarkably comfortable feel. The long neck tenon construction further enhances sustain and acoustic response, creating an instrument that feels alive in your hands before it's ever plugged in.
A matched set of Custombucker Alnico 4 humbuckers faithfully recreates the open, dynamic character of the original late-1950s Patent Applied For pickups, delivering exceptional touch sensitivity, articulate note separation, and warm harmonic richness. From singing blues leads and classic rock crunch to jazz cleans and expressive country tones, this guitar responds beautifully to every nuance of your playing and your guitar's controls. The result is an instrument that can move effortlessly between delicate clean passages and roaring overdriven solos while retaining outstanding clarity and musicality throughout its entire tonal range.
Finished with aged nickel hardware, period-correct plastics, gold Top Hat knobs, and housed in its Custom Shop Lifton-style hardshell case, this Limited Edition Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue represents the pinnacle of Gibson Custom craftsmanship. Whether you're a discerning collector, recording artist, or performing guitarist seeking one of the finest recreations of the most iconic Les Paul ever produced, this extraordinary instrument delivers an inspiring playing experience worthy of its legendary heritage.
