Seller's description

Experience a Unique Collaboration Between Gibson and Chuck Levin's - The Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard in Ultra Heavy Aged Iced Tea Burst - CHUCKSCLUSIVE Tom Murphy, Master Artisan and namesake of the Gibson Murphy Lab, has been replicating the vibe and character of vintage instruments for decades. With a huge depth of knowledge, passion for the instrument, and of course creativity, Tom and his team have developed the tools and techniques to recreate guitars from the Gibson Golden Era. Everything from reverse-engineering the original formula of nitrocellulose lacquer used during the 50s and 60s, to 3D-scanning original instruments from the era, to identifying where and how these iconic guitars acquire wear and tear. The Murphy Lab team has thought through every element of these instruments so that when you open the case, your Murphy Lab will look, feel, and sound like an heirloom. The 1959 Les Paul Standard isn't so much a tribute as it is an exact clone of the original. Using modern tech to replicate the exact dimensions and construction of its components, every conceivable element of the original has been recreated here. Featuring a slightly thinner neck and larger frets than a 1958, the subtle differences end there as the 1959 Standard's flamed maple top adds visual depth and complexity to the guitar's iconic sunburst finish. Chuck Levin's was founded in 1958 and saw its early successes while the original versions of these Murphy Lab Les Pauls were leaving Gibson's shop. Like the Gibson Les Paul, Chuck Levin's has endured and thrived for decades since and become a legend to many musicians. To celebrate our 65th Anniversary and our shared history with Gibson Guitars, Chuck Levin's has partnered with the Gibson Murphy Lab to bring you a collection of amazing instruments, built just like they were back when Chuck Levin's was just a small music shop in the middle of DC.
