2025 Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue – Ultra Heavy Aged (Kindred Burst)

The 2025 Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue – Ultra Heavy Aged represents the pinnacle of Gibson Custom Shop craftsmanship and vintage authenticity. Built by the Murphy Lab, this instrument captures the look, feel, and tone of the most iconic late-1950s Les Pauls, delivering an experience that goes far beyond a standard reissue.

A lightweight mahogany body paired with a figured maple top provides the rich midrange, depth, and sustain that made the original ’59 Les Paul legendary. Finished in Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged Kindred Burst, the guitar features extremely realistic aging, including finish checking, wear, and hardware patina, giving it the feel of a true road-worn vintage instrument.

The mahogany neck features an Authentic ’59 Medium C profile, offering a substantial yet comfortable grip. An Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12″ radius and 22 medium jumbo frets ensures classic playability with excellent note definition and bending comfort.

At the heart of the tone are Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers, unpotted for maximum clarity, dynamics, and harmonic complexity. From warm, open cleans to rich, singing overdrive, the guitar responds effortlessly to touch and picking nuance. High-quality vintage-style electronics with CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors complete the authentic signal path.

Classic hardware includes an ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and vintage-correct nickel components. The guitar comes with a Custom Shop brown Lifton-style case and a Certificate of Authenticity.

This 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Ultra Heavy Aged is not just a guitar — it’s a meticulously crafted tribute to one of the most desirable instruments in electric guitar history, built for players and collectors who demand absolute authenticity.
