GIBSON 1959 Les Paul Standard Kindred Burst Ultra Heavy Aged
Custom Shop Les Paul electric guitar with Custom Bucker pickups and Murphy Lab Aging Treatment, including case and certificate
As a tribute to the legendary 1959 Les Paul model, Gibson Custom Shop has collaborated with the aging specialists at Murphy Lab to offer an extremely successful recreation of the original. From the turned wood selection to the hand-wired electronics to the texture of Finish and Hardware, the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Kindred Burst Ultra Heavy Aged really does offer everything a classic '59 Les Paul should.
Flamed maple top and mahogany neck with long neck base.
The basis of the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Kindred Burst Ultra Heavy Aged is its basic construction of selected tonewoods, as they were used in the late fifties. Accordingly, the body consists of a solid piece of mahogany and is finished with a two-piece flamed maple top with a fancy flame. Of course in the recipe of a good Fifties Les Paul the up to under the neck pickup glued Long Neck Tenon of the mahogany neck is not missing.
Gibson Custom Bucker with Paper-in-Oil Caps
For appropriate sounds of the legendary PAF humbucker, Gibson relies on successful replicas of the coveted dual coils with two Custom Bucker Humbuckers. Hand-wound at Gibson Custom Shop, the pickups are fitted with Alnico III magnets for a warm and vocal tone character and feature non-waxed coils, clearly preserving the treble content in the signal. The electronics wiring is also completely hand-wired and holds original components of the golden LP era with CTS potentiometers for volume and tone and oil-paper capacitors.
Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged Treatment
Created by aging legend Tom Murphy, the Murphy Lab is a series of experts who analyze in detail the lacquer finish and aging process of Hardware original instruments and authentically recreate them as part of the 1959 Les Paul Standard Kindred Burst Ultra Heavy Aged. The Ultra Heavy Aged Treatment represents Murphy Lab's most severe aging process and simulates vigorous wear in the form of clearly visible playing marks from an instrument played on countless tours and stages over the years. The composition of the nitro lacquer was also taken into account here, so that the instrument can develop additional aging characteristics over time.
