The Story

1959 Les Paul Tom Murphy Aged Bourbon Burst 2008

What a gorgeous guitar. This is a 2008 Gibson Custom Shop ’59 Les Paul reissue, Ultra Aged by the master of guitar relic work Tom Murphy with a Bourbon Burst finish. This Les Paul is actually one of the first Ultra Aged Les Pauls produced in the original Music Zoo-exclusive run! The guitar has a killer flame top over a solid mahogany body, a chunky profile to the mahogany neck, and rosewood fretboard with a rich color to it and of course trapezoid inlays. The guitars tuners have been swapped to Klusons. It plays wonderfully and all wear looks original to how Murphy intended the guitar to appear, and includes the original case and certificate of authenticity.

Includes: Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
