The Story

1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Brandy Southern Fade Dark Back Light Aged

If you like your '59 Les Pauls dark and smoky - this one-off will do it for you! A Custom Shop Les Paul in "Southern Fade" over a subtle and classy flame maple top with thin strips of figuring top to bottom. The guitar has a departure from the usual aniline cherry too, with a dark back stain that matches the edges of the burst nicely! Topping it all off, we have a tasteful Light Aging package from the Murphy Lab to add patina and checking around the guitar.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags
