Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab 1956 Les Paul Standard Bigsby Ebony Top Light Aged
Serial Number: 6 5038
Weight: 8.8 lbs.

This Gibson Custom Shop 1956 Les Paul Standard is a tribute to a legendary guitar wielded by one of the most influential Canadian-American rockers of all time. This Murphy Lab-aged reissue brings vintage character and an undeniable stage presence, all while delivering the tone and feel that make mid-'50s Les Pauls so revered.

With a maple-topped mahogany body and a chunky D profile mahogany neck, this guitar stays true to its roots. Where it really stands apart is in its unique pickup configuration—a period-correct P-90 in the neck and a Custombucker PAF in the bridge, blending the sharp bite of early Les Pauls with the thick, punchy power that would define the model in later years. A Bigsby tremolo completes the package, adding expressive vibrato while staying rock-solid thanks to an ABR-1 historic bridge and Kluson Deluxe tuners.

Whether you're chasing the raw tones of a Crazy Horse-era classic or looking for a distinctive addition to your collection, the 1956 Les Paul Standard Bigsby is a one-of-a-kind reissue with vintage soul and modern playability.
