Personal Thoughts:
This Light Aged ’59 Les Paul from the Murphy Lab is a standout—visually stunning and tonally rich. The Honeyburst finish has just enough amber warmth to show off the figured top beautifully, and the light aging adds tasteful lacquer checking and subtle hardware wear without being over-the-top.
Playability is spot on thanks to the authentic '59 neck carve—comfortable, rounded, and very responsive. The unpotted Custombuckers are dynamic and vintage-voiced, with sweet highs and woody mids that respond brilliantly to pick attack and volume changes. This is what a Les Paul should feel and sound like.
Condition Report:
As new condition with no wear beyond what was intentionally applied at the Murphy Lab. Frets and hardware are immaculate. Comes with original Lifton-style case, COA, and full case candy.
