Authentic Aging Process Recreates a Rock Icon

Gibson Custom Shop worked meticulously to recreate every detail of his famed 1959 Les Paul Standard, from its faded 'Yardbird burst' finish to the worn feel of its parts. The Murphy Lab then subjected each YardBurst Les Paul to an intensive aging process to match Beck's original, complete with dings, dents, checking and rust. The result is a guitar that looks and plays like an actual vintage instrument, yet with structural integrity to handle the demands of the stage. This unprecedented level of craftsmanship produces what is essentially a brand-new 1959 Les Paul Standard with over 50 years of rock and roll spirit built right in.
