The Gibson Murphy Lab 59 Les Paul Standard is crafted for authenticity, featuring a reverse-engineered lacquer formula, hand-rubbed finish, and hardware that replicates the appearance of long-term use. Produced in a specialized division of the Custom Shop, this guitar is a testament to the skills of Gibson Master Artisan Tom Murphy, known for his work with Clapton, Page, Slash, and others. Included with the guitar is a hardshell case bearing Murphy's hand-signed initials in the neck pocket.
