Description

The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Ultra Light Aged in Factory Burst is a finely crafted take on the most iconic electric guitar of all time. Built with a one-piece mahogany back and two-piece figured maple top joined with hide glue it captures the resonance sustain and punch that defined the golden era. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish and lightly aged nickel hardware lend just the right touch of vintage character simulating decades of gentle play wear without going overboard. From the feel in the hands to the look under stage lights this guitar channels true late-50s mojo. Its 50s Rounded Medium C neck carve offers a comfortable yet substantial grip paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard and historic medium-jumbo frets for smooth bends and expressive vibrato. A pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups bring out the legendary PAF-style tone from woody cleans to snarling overdrive all controlled with period-correct wiring and paper-in-oil capacitors. Complete with a Lifton reissue case and certificate of authenticity this Les Paul is every bit as much the players dream as it is a collectors piece.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
