Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Heavy Murphy Lab aging defines the visual identity of this 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue: prominent lacquer checking, buckle rash, light arm, neck and peghead wear, plus heavily aged hardware. Under that treatment is a lightweight mahogany solid body with a two-piece figured maple top, a mahogany 1959 Medium C neck and rosewood fingerboard. Two CustomBuckers, a 3-way switch and separate volume and tone controls for each pickup offer a familiar, adjustable two-humbucker layout. The fixed Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece complete the design.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want a solid-body 1959 Les Paul reissue with pronounced, road-worn Murphy Lab finish treatment.
- Guitarists who use separate volume and tone controls to manage a two-humbucker, 3-way-switch layout.
- Owners seeking a reissue supplied with a certificate of authenticity and 5-latch hardshell case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want an unaged finish without lacquer checking, buckle rash, or worn hardware.
- Those looking for a light-aged rather than heavily aged appearance.
- Left-handed players.
