Gibson Custom Shop Limited GHII Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue - Ocean Magenta Light Aged

Somewhere between a vintage ’59 and a nebula drifting through deep space lives this guitar.

This Limited Run Greatest Hits II 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is an absolute stunner, finished in a jaw-dropping Ocean Magenta top with a Murphy Lab Light Aged nitro finish that looks like it’s already lived a few legendary lifetimes. The crushing handpicked AAA figured maple top shifts and shimmers under light like a cosmic horizon, perfectly paired with a lightweight mahogany body and neck finished in Hawaiian Blue—a bold, otherworldly contrast that feels as futuristic as it is timeless.

Built with true Historic construction from the ground up—hide glue throughout, long tenon neck joint, authentic 1950s truss rod, and period-correct electronics—this R9 is the real deal. The Carmelita V1 neck profile hits that sweet spot: substantial, comfortable, and endlessly inspiring.

The magic doesn’t stop at looks. Custombucker Alnico III pickups deliver that unmistakable late-’50s voice—open, harmonically rich, and dynamically alive. Roll back the volume for glassy cleans, or push it and feel the amp bloom like a star going supernova.

Finished with cream plastics, Beach White Top Hat knobs, and tasteful nickel hardware, every detail has been carefully chosen to complement the aged aesthetic. Painstakingly relic’d by the masters at the Murphy Lab, this guitar doesn’t just look the part—it sounds the part, and then some.

Housed in a Brown/Pink Lifton reissue case with full Custom Shop documentation, this Les Paul is ready for orbit. Rare. Striking. And built to soundtrack journeys far beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
