Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Ocean Magenta Murphy Lab Light Aged NH (277)

Part of Gibson Custom’s highly sought-after Greatest Hits Collection, this 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue stands apart from traditional Burst fare with its striking Ocean Magenta finish. Draped over a beautifully figured AAA flame maple top and paired with a classic mahogany body, it offers a bold visual twist that still feels authentically vintage-inspired.

The mahogany neck is carved to a historic 1959 Medium C Carmelita profile, modeled after a rare late-’50s original that featured a slightly slimmer carve, delivering a comfortable, broken-in feel without losing the substance players expect from a ’59. A rosewood fingerboard completes the package, dressed with aged cellulose trapezoid inlays and traditional binding for an unmistakably vintage look.

Tone comes courtesy of a pair of Custombucker humbuckers, faithfully recreating the warmth, clarity, and dynamic response of late-’50s PAFs. Finished in a lightly aged Murphy Lab nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar feels and resonates like a well-loved original from day one. Built in extremely limited numbers, this Greatest Hits Collection Les Paul is a rare opportunity to own a classic reimagined with tasteful individuality.
