The Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Southern Fade Burst Ultra Light Aged at a glance:
As a tribute to the legendary 1959 version of the Les Paul, the Gibson Custom Shop, in collaboration with the aging specialists at the Murphy Lab, offers an extremely successful recreation of the original. From the turned wood selection to the hand-wired electronics to the finish of Finish and Hardware, the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Southern Fade Burst Ultra Light Aged really does offer everything that makes a classic '59 Les Paul.
The Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Southern Fade Burst Ultra Light Aged with authentic ultra-light aging treatment from the Gibson Murphy Lab.
Flamed maple top and mahogany neck with long neck foot
The basis of the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Southern Fade Burst Ultra Light Aged is its basic construction made from selected tonewoods as used in the late 1950s. Accordingly, the body is made from a solid piece of mahogany and is finished with a two-piece flamed maple top. Of course, the long neck tenon of the mahogany neck, which is glued up to the neck pickup, should not be missing in the recipe for a good Fifties Les Paul.
Gibson Custom Bucker with paper-in-oil caps
For appropriate sounds of the legendary PAF humbucker, Gibson relies on successful replicas of the coveted double coilers with two custom bucker humbuckers. The Gibson Custom Shop hand-wound pickups are fitted with Alnico III magnets for a warm and vocal sound character and have non-waxed coils, which means that the treble content in the signal is clearly retained. The electronics wiring is also completely hand-wired and features original components from the golden LP era with CTS potentiometers for Volume and Tone and oil paper capacitors.
Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Treatment
The Murphy Lab, founded by aging legend Tom Murphy, consists of a number of experts who analyze the finish and aging process of Hardware original instruments in detail and recreate them authentically as part of the 1959 Les Paul Standard Southern Fade Burst Ultra Light Aged treatment. The Ultra Light Aged treatment replicates the lightest aging process of the Murphy Lab and simulates the few signs of wear and tear of an amazingly well-maintained instrument that shows only a few age-related traces in the form of nitro lacquer cracks and slight hardware aging. The composition of the nitrocellulose lacquer was also taken into account so that the instrument can continue to develop tasteful aging over time.
