Curly maple top and mahogany neck with long neck foot

The basis of the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard is its basic construction made from selected tonewoods that were already used in the late 1950s. Accordingly, the body is made from 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 up to the neck pickup, should not be missing in the recipe for a good Fifties Les Paul.

The tasteful Murphy Lab heavy-aged treatment is skillfully reproduced by detailed play marks in typical areas of the body.

Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Treatment

The Murphy Lab, founded by ageing legend Tom Murphy, consists of a number of experts who analyze the finish and ageing process of Hardware original instruments in detail and recreate them authentically as part of the 1959 Les Paul Standard Heavy Aged Green Lemon Fade. The heavy aged treatment represents a stronger ageing process and simulates the accumulated signs of wear and tear in the form of visible traces of playing an instrument that has been played frequently over the years. The composition of the nitrocellulose lacquer has also been taken into account, so that the instrument can develop additional aging characteristics over time.
