USED Gibson Custom / HS 1959 Les Paul STD Aged Historic Reissue Hand Selected Murphy Aged Mojave Fade 2016 [10]

This is a hand-aged reissue of a 2016 Gibson Custom Shop made HS59 stamped with the serial number "9 6289".
This piece belongs to the Historic Collection, a series of faithful reproductions of classic Gibson guitars, and has been specially hand-aged by Tom Murphy, a historical specialist in the field of mastering the art of aging, and is a magnificent piece of work. It is a luxurious piece with special hand-aging by Tom Murphy, a historical specialist in the field of aging.
In addition, since it is in the hand-selected category, the flame maple top has been carefully selected.
The specialness may be all in not only the Murphy Aged specs, but also in the appearance, which may be easily imagined as "GNR" from the finish color. Therefore, we cannot help but recommend it not only as a collection item, but also to play-oriented and genuine users who value practicality.
More good news is that the original pickups (which we believe were custom backers but are missing) have been replaced by "Seymour Duncan Pickups, Alnico II Pro SLASH, APH2N/Neck & APH2B/Bridge" (developed for the Slash Signature Les Paul). The solder traces of the replacement have been removed and replaced with "Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups, APH2N/Neck & APH2B/Bridge". The solder traces of that replacement work are beautiful and can be considered professional repair work.
So, not only the texture of the instrument, which faithfully reproduces the inherent smell and style, but also the playing sound may be said to be ultimate.
Also, it comes with a Gibson Custom Aged Historic Reissue (hand-aged certification by T.M.) and Hand Selected (HS LPR9 Murphy Aged, with Mojave Fade listed) certificate of authenticity, so you can rest assured.

Overall Condition
It feels clean and in beautiful condition and may have been stored in a hard case when unplayed.
You can see the "T.M. signature crack mark" on the outer side of the bridge PU near the volume control as it is a Murphy Aged detail. Also, it is aged over heavy aged and under ultra heavy aged, so play wear may not be a concern. (Traces of natural dyeing of the aniline-dye factor have occurred on the binding of each section.)
There are some minute string marks at the frets of the first and third strings, but they are smooth dents and may be too early to be repaired by rubbing together... It may be too early to repair by rubbing together... It may be better to repair them after they are clearly dented.
The strap button has been replaced with a Schaller Security Rocks (chrome, with strap side parts), but may not have been used.
Also, there is a crack near the jack plate mounting screw, but it may be balanced with the body aged finish.

Neck condition is currently fine.
Truss rod has room to spare.
