The Story

1959 Les Paul Standard Murphy Aged Southern Fade

If you like your bursts vibrant and eye-catching, this Southern Fade ’59 is the guitar for you. This is a fantastic ’59 that’s been aged by Gibson relic expert Tom Murphy to have the perfect amount of weathering, giving it the look and feel of an instrument that’s been loved for years. The top has a consistent amount of thin and well-defined flame figure. Of course, the Custom Bucker pickups really drive home the fact that this is a top-notch Les Paul that sounds as good as it looks.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
