Introducing: Your Dream Instrument from Gibson
Every info for your decision
It is one of the biggest and most popular classics among electric guitars: The Gibson Les Paul Standard. The originals from 1958 and the very rare 1959 models are particularly popular with collectors and are traded at utopian sums. Many guitars from back then are still in good condition today and are used as models for new custom shop instruments and are studied in detail by Gibson's experienced luthiers. Of the various Les Paul vintages, 1959 is probably the most sought-after and also the most expensive. In this year, there was a lot of experimentation with different burst finishes, which stood out strongly from the 58 vintage and were very intense in colour. The new colours were initially accepted only hesitantly and therefore fewer instruments were produced, making an original 1959 Les Paul Standard a rare and sought-after collector's item. The Gibson Custom Shop got inspired by these guitars and is now presenting a very special Custom Shop one-off model based on a Les Paul Standard from 1959.
The Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Light Aged ACT Murphy Lab is a classic single cut-style electric guitar with a mahogany body an a maple top. Mahogany was already used in the original Les Paul guitars and provides the basis for the perfect vintage sound. The mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard features a Chunky C-Shape profile and a classic flat fretboard radius of 12”. The guitar is equipped with a classic H-H pickup combination of a Gibson Custombucker Alnico III on the bridge and a Gibson Custombucker Alnico III on the neck. Other features include Kluson Single Line tuners, amber top hat knobs, a No-Wire ABR-1 bridge with a lightweight aluminum stop bar and a cream pickguard.
This model is finished in a beautiful Aged Cherry Tea. It has been carefully hand-aged in Tom Murphy's famous Murphy Lab to give the guitar the feel and look of an instrument that has been played for years. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish ensures that the wood can vibrate particularly well and that the lacquer finish ages more beautifully. This is about the look and feel of a guitar that has been loved and played. If you play your instrument often, it's a simple truth that your guitar will eventually show signs of wear. Even for players who take great care of their guitars, a fall off the stand, other people's hands or even a mysterious-looking dent can take its toll. Each of these marks adds character to the guitar. And that's what you get with the Light Aged Level from the Gibson Custom Shop. A well-maintained instrument that has been played and loved.
The Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Light Aged ACT Murphy Lab comes with a certificate of authenticity in a luxurious original Gibson Custom Shop case, which you can use to transport your new dream guitar safely and protect it from external influences.
About Gibson
Die US-amerikanische Gibson Guitar Corporation, gegründet 1902 von Orville Gibson in Kalamazoo, Michigan, wurde zu Beginn bekannt durch die Fertigung von Mandolinen und Banjos. Heutzutage befindet sich der Hauptsitz der Firma in Nashville, Tennessee und Gibson zählt zu den weltweit namhaftesten und renommiertesten Herstellern von E-Gitarren.
Das Modell Les Paul, benannt nach seinem Erschaffer Lester William Polsfuss, ist eine der bekanntesten und meistverkauften E-Gitarrenformen aller Zeiten und begründete die Bauform der Single Cut-Gitarre, die von zahlreichen anderen Herstellern kopiert, übernommen und neuinterpretiert wurde. Die Les Paul wird hauptsächlich für ihren als warm und druckvoll charakterisierten Sound geschätzt. Auch der dafür mitverantwortliche Humbucker-Tonabnehmer, in seiner heute geläufigen Bauweise, wurde von Seth Lover bei Gibson entwickelt.
Anfang der 1960er Jahre erschien mit der Gibson SG eine weitere Solidbody E-Gitarre aus dem Hause Gibson. Zunächst als Nachfolger der Les Paul gedacht, wurde sie, auch dank Angus Young von AC/DC, zu einer weiteren Ikonen der Rock-Geschichte und ist die Grundlage für den Typ der Double Cut-Gitarre.
Mit der Flying V und der Explorer zeichnet sich Gibson für zwei Korpusformen verantwortlich, die zwar zum Zeitpunkt ihres Erscheinens, Ende der 1950er Jahre, ihrer Zeit viel zu weit voraus waren, aber im Laufe der Jahre ebenfalls Legendenstatus erreichten. Bis heute dienen sie auch als Grundlage für eine Vielzahl von Heavygitarren, beispielsweise von Herstellern wie Jackson oder ESP.
Der Gibson Custom Shop fertigt Auftragsarbeiten, hochwertige Einzelstücke und exakte Replikate berühmter Modelle und legendärer Jahrgänge ihrer Instrumente an. Oft werden diese auch einem künstlichen Alterungsprozess, genannt Relicing, unterzogen.
Fast genauso lange wie das Unternehmen existiert, werden auch Akustikgitarren produziert. So zählen die J-45, die Hummingbird, die L-00 und die SJ-200 zu den beliebtesten Westerngitarren der Welt und waren das Instrument der Wahl für Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley oder John Lennon.
Neben den bereits erwähnten Instrumenten könnt ihr bei uns natürlich auch die Plektren, Taschen und Koffer oder Merchandise aus dem Hause Gibson kaufen.
Besonders stolz sind wir, in unserer Frankfurter Filiale einen Gibson Flagship Store zu beheimaten. Dort findet ihr nicht nur eine große Auswahl und exklusive Modelle zum direkt Ausprobieren, sondern profitiert bei der Beratung zur perfekten Gitarre auch vom Fachwissen unserer von Gibson geschulten und zertifizierten Mitarbeiter.
