The Story

Used 2008 Murphy Aged Historic 1959 Les Paul Electric Guitar Washed Cherry

This beauty of an instrument is a pre-owned 2008 Custom Shop ’59 Les Paul, aged by the talented Tom Murphy with a Washed Cherry finish over the flame maple top. The guitar has a solid mahogany body with a slight “V” to the ’59 neck shape, two Burstbucker humbucking pickups, and nickel hardware. The previous owner installed some aftermarket aged plastics that look great on this one. The guitar is in overall excellent shape with the original case and certificate of authenticity included. Includes some original Gibson plastic parts.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
