What the Gibson Custom Shop’s Murphy Lab Limited Edition adds to that conversation is a top that changes the visual equation entirely: a hand-selected 2-piece birdseye maple top, fit with hide glue, displaying the rare, three-dimensional figuring that makes the eyes move across the surface as the light shifts. Under the Peach Tea Burst — a warm amber center blooming into a soft cherry edge — the birdseye figure catches the nitrocellulose gloss with a depth that no photograph adequately captures, and no two tops are the same. This is not the standard flame maple of a traditional Burst; it is something rarer, something that turns an already iconic instrument into an object of genuine individual character. Murphy Lab Light Aging renders the guitar’s surface in the image of a well-loved original — subtle checking, softened edges, a tactile feel that says decades rather than new — without the drama of Heavy Aged. The 1-piece lightweight mahogany body comes in at 7lbs 15oz, which for a full-spec Les Paul of this construction is exceptional, and the Brown\/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch case closes the presentation with the period-correct detail this instrument demands throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"316\" data-end=\"371\"\u003eEvery construction decision resolves to 1959 specification. Long tenon neck joint and body top both fitted with hide glue, Authentic 1959 neck profile on a solid mahogany neck, Authentic 1950s No-Tube single-action truss rod, Indian Rosewood fingerboard with aged Cellulose Nitrate trapezoid inlays and cream single-ply Royalite binding, Historic Medium-Jumbo 22 frets at 24.75\" scale on a 12\" radius. Custombucker pickups with Alnico 4 magnets at both positions — a less common magnet choice that sits between the warmth of Alnico 2 and the clarity of Alnico 5, delivering balanced vintage character with focused articulation across the full frequency range. CTS 500K Audio Taper potentiometers with Paper-in-Oil capacitors, No-Wire ABR-1 with nickel-plated brass saddles, lightweight aluminum stop bar, Kluson Single Line Single Ring tuners, Gold Butyrate Top Hat knobs, Amber Catalin switch tip. Certificate of Authenticity, Historic Reissue hang tags, and Gibson Custom Switchplate Medallion included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel: \u003c\/b\u003e1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue, Murphy Lab Light Aged\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-Piece Lightweight Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Top:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-Piece Handpicked Birdseye Maple, Hide Glue Fit \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nitrocellulose Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-Ply Royalite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Cellulose Nitrate Trapezoid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut:\u003c\/b\u003e Nylon, 1.69\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Authentic 1959 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Tenon, Hide Glue Fit \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Historic Medium-Jumbo 22 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Authentic 1950s No-Tube\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream, Single Ply Royalite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.75\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double White Custombucker Alnico 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel Covered Custombucker Alnico 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Volume, 2 Tone, CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers, Paper-in-Oil Capacitors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Selector:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-Way Switchcraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Jack:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/4\" Switchcraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e No-Wire ABR-1 (Nickel-Plated Brass Saddles)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight Aluminum Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel (Aged) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Authentic Profile Nickel Silver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitchwasher:\u003c\/b\u003e Replica Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Laminated Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003c\/b\u003eAuthentic Stepped 2-Ply \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber Catalin \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kluson Single Line, Single Ring \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Rings:\u003c\/strong\u003e  M69 Cellulose Acetate Butyrate \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Royalite \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold Butyrate Top Hats\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Brown\/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e COA, Historic Reissue Hang Tags, Gibson Custom Switchplate Medallion w\/Historic Black Plastic Cover in Case) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7lbs 15oz. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown\/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52989759815864,"sku":"LPR5926LE23259","price":8199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Gibson962309_001availableatInterStellarGuitars.jpg?v=1793812358","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-murphy-lab-limited-edition-1959-les-paul-standard-botb-151-light-aged","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
