Gibson Custom '59 Les Paul Standard Bourbon Burst Fade Murphy Lab Light Aged

Stunning Light Aged Murphy Lab '59 Les Paul Standard in a characterful Bourbon Burst Fade! With a hand-selected top for Dijkmans Guitars!

This Gibson Custom Shop Made to Measure '59 Les Paul Standard is a tribute to one of the most iconic guitars ever built. Specially crafted for Dijkmans Guitars, this instrument combines the soul of a vintage Burst with the highest level of modern Custom Shop craftsmanship.

The guitar features the stylish Bourbon Burst Fade finish, a color that evokes the warm, slightly faded tones of original Bursts that have been played for decades and exposed to the elements. The subtle transition and depth in the burst give the guitar a distinct vintage look with a unique, lived-in character.

What makes this particular version extra special is the Light Aging from the Murphy Lab. This form of aging goes a step further than Ultra Light and adds visibly more character without becoming overly reliced. Think of finer and more present lacquer checking, lightly played-in edges, and a clearer patina on the hardware. The result is a guitar that feels and looks like a well-maintained vintage specimen with years of playing experience.

The beating heart of this Les Paul is the hand-selected maple top, chosen by Dijkmans Guitars in close collaboration with Tom Fowle of the Murphy Lab. The top displays a lively, harmonious flame with a distinct vintage appearance: rich, dynamic, and perfectly complementing the Bourbon Burst Fade finish.

Sonically, this '59 Standard offers everything you'd expect from a top-class Custom Shop instrument: open, resonant, and extremely responsive. The tones are rich and layered, with a powerful midrange, sparkling highs, and a deep, musical sustain that effortlessly continues to sing.

This is not a replica, but a carefully curated interpretation of a legendary instrument. A Made to Measure '59 Les Paul Standard for the purist, the collector, and the player seeking the ultimate Burst experience. Exclusively crafted for Dijkmans Guitars.
