USED GIBSON CUSTOM / Japan Limited Run Murphy Lab 1958 Les Paul Standard 59 Neck Light Aged Green Lemon Fade -2023- [04]

Gibson Custom Shop Japan Limited Run Murphy Lab 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue 59 Neck Light Aged Green Lemon Fade -2023-

A used 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue featuring the 59 Neck (Authentic '59 Medium C-Shape)—part of the 2023 Japan Limited Run—has just arrived!

Featuring a two-piece maple top with a flat-sawn grain, a one-piece mahogany back, a solid mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard, this guitar faithfully reproduces vintage Gibson craftsmanship through traditional construction methods such as hide glue, a long-tenon set neck, and long studs/anchors.

The headstock features the Gibson logo, a “Les Paul MODEL” silkscreen, and Kluson Single Line/Single Ring tuners.
While the bound neck with dish inlays typically features the thick, substantial “50s Rounded C” profile and narrow-tall frets, this model incorporates the “Authentic ’59 Medium C Neck Profile” and “Historic Medium-Jumbo Frets” for a comfortable grip and excellent playability, offering the look of an R8 combined with the playability of an R9.

It is equipped with two “Custombucker Alnico III Unpotted” pickups, CTS pots with a vintage curve, Luxe Bumblebee replica capacitors, and Switchcraft jacks and selectors, faithfully reproducing the sound of a vintage Gibson.

The hardware includes a non-wired ABR-1 bridge aged by Murphy Labs, an aluminum stopbar, and historic parts.

For the finish, it features a special “Green Lemon Fade”—a color typically reserved exclusively for the “1959 Les Paul Standard Heavy Aged” as a core model—creating a beautiful look with a green burst that represents the early stage of a Lemon Burst, where the reddish tones of the sunburst have faded.
It has been lightly aged by Murphy Lab to recreate the appearance of a vintage guitar that has been cherished and played moderately at home or in the studio.

This guitar appears to have been played frequently; while there are virtually no scratches aside from the aging, there are numerous areas where weather checking in the finish has progressed. Approximately 80% of the frets remain, and we have confirmed that the truss rod rotates 60 degrees in both directions.
