2011 Gibson TOM MURPHY Aged 1959 Reissue Les Paul Standard R9 Custom Shop Historic 59 Iced Tea Sunburst!

Here is a 2011 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Reissue, personally aged by Tom Murphy in a beautiful Iced Tea Sunburst — a true collector-grade Murphy-aged R9.

This one has that unmistakable “Pearly Gates” Billy Gibbons vibe, with the look and feel of a well-loved original Burst. It just came in from the original owner and is in collector-grade condition. We see virtually no wear, and the frets show almost no use. It presents as minty.

The guitar is 100% original and has all the right ingredients for both a serious player and collector.
