Gibson Les Paul '56 Standard Ebony Top Bigsby Murphy Lab Light Aged 2025

This 1956 Gibson Les Paul from the Murphy Lab collection is the pinnacle of craftsmanship and a masterpiece from the Gibson Custom Shop! This instrument is more than a guitar; it is an exact reproduction of a vintage Les Paul Standard from the 1950s, a guitar that has inspired countless guitarists for decades!

For this Les Paul, Gibson went all out with an Ebony finish on the top, while the body and neck are clear-lacquered so that the mahogany is clearly visible. Furthermore, the combination of a humbucker in the bridge position and a P90 in the neck is reminiscent of Neil Young's legendary guitar, especially in combination with the Bigsby tailpiece. What beautiful guitars Gibson has made!

This Gibson Les Paul features the unique Murphy Lab Light Aged treatment, which gives the instrument the look of a guitar that has been played intensively for decades. The crackle in the finish, the refined imperfections, and the slightly aged hardware all contribute to an aesthetic that is indistinguishable from a 1950s original. The character and vibe of this guitar are inimitable. Every Gibson with this finish is unique; no two guitars are the same!

In addition to its stunning looks, this Les Paul offers a sound straight out of the history books. The mahogany body, maple top, and hand-wound pickups combine to create an unparalleled tone, featuring rich warmth, sparkling clarity, and endless sustain. The comfortable neck, with its classic, sturdy profile, makes it a joy to play, whether you are on stage, working in the studio, or jamming at home!

This Les Paul is still in virtually new condition and comes in a Custom Shop case with a certificate of authenticity.
