Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a Gibson Custom Murphy Lab recreation of Peter Green's Greeny, this 1959 Les Paul Standard pairs a heavily aged finish with the model's defining wiring detail: reversed magnetic polarity at the neck pickup. In the middle selector position, that relationship creates the described out-of-phase, scooped response. The lightweight mahogany body, figured maple top, Indian rosewood fingerboard, 24.75-inch scale, and '50s Vintage neck shape complete its period-focused specification. A brown/pink Lifton reissue 5-latch case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording or performance setups where the middle pickup position's out-of-phase, scooped voice is a deliberate tonal choice.
- Players seeking a Murphy Lab-aged Greeny recreation with a '50s Vintage neck shape.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want an unaged-looking finish rather than the model's heavy relic treatment.
