Gibson has forever etched its name into the pantheon of guitars, from jazz to rock, blues to metal. Founded in 1894 by Orville H. Gibson in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA, the company revolutionized the guitar world with technical and aesthetic innovations such as humbuckers and the iconic Flying V, Explorer, and Firebird designs. With ambassadors ranging from Charlie Christian to Slash, including Tony Iommi and, of course, Lester Polfus, Gibson transcends eras and musical styles, cementing its position as a must-have brand in both electric and acoustic guitars.
Tom Murphy and his team create each Murphy Lab guitar at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, using the most advanced tools and technologies. Each instrument is handmade and finished with techniques that produce the most authentic aging effects, giving it the character, sound, and feel that elevated the original models to iconic status.
When you first encounter the Les Paul '59 Lemon Burst Murphy Lab Light Aged, it's hard not to be left speechless. Despite decades of scrutinizing every nuance of Gibson guitars, this one stands out with its unique brilliance. The Lemon Burst finish, bright and bold, highlights a figured maple top with a mesmerizing flame pattern. This instrument, crafted like a jewel by the Murphy Lab artisans, embodies both Gibson's historical craftsmanship and its relentless pursuit of sonic perfection.
Beneath this striking finish, you’ll find the features that have made the Les Paul a legend: a one-piece mahogany body, a neck with a '59 Medium C profile, and a rosewood fingerboard with a 12” radius, ensuring exceptional playability. The Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups live up to their reputation, offering a perfect blend of warmth and power that only the best PAF replicas can deliver. Whether for crystal-clear cleans or biting distortion, this guitar delivers authentic tones that meet the highest expectations.
The Light Aged finish is, as always, a triumph: every wear mark seems to tell a story, while the subtly oxidized hardware gives this exceptional piece a unique character. It’s the perfect balance of vintage and modern, both in its aesthetics and performance. A true invitation to rediscover the best of what a Les Paul can offer, in this stunning Lemon Burst shade.
