Accordingly, the body is made from a solid piece of mahogany and is finished with a two-piece flamed maple top with a chic flame. Of course, the recipe for a good Fifties Les Paul must include the mahogany neck, which is glued right up to the neck pickup.Long Neck Tenonof the mahogany neck.

For appropriate sounds of the legendary PAF humbucker, Gibson relies on successful replicas of the coveted double coilers with two custom bucker humbuckers. The Gibson Custom Shop hand-wound pickups are fitted with Alnico III magnets for a warm and vocal sound character and have non-waxedcoils, which means that the treble content in the signal is clearly retained.

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 Slow Iced Tead 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 ageing characteristics over time.
