1958 Les Paul Standard
Murphy Lab – Ultra Light Aged

The 1958 Les Paul Standard is a classic model from cult maker Gibson. Until the mid‑50s, single‑colour models with P-90 single‑coil pickups were standard at Gibson, but towards the end of the decade humbucker pickups made their way into the Les Paul lineup. Gibson also became more adventurous with colour: instead of Ebony and Gold Top they worked with various burst finishes to give the guitars a distinct appearance.
We took our inspiration from these guitars and now present to you our Made To Measure series Les Paul 1958 Murphy Lab Light Aged from the Gibson Custom Shop. Each instrument is a one‑off made from carefully selected woods and components.

Our session Select 1958 models feature beautiful Lemon Drop or Iced Tea Burst finishes. These were carefully hand‑aged in the famous Murphy Lab by Tom Murphy to give the guitars the feel and look of an instrument that's been played for years.
