With a huge depth of knowledge, passion for the instrument, and of course creativity, Tom and his team have developed the tools and techniques to recreate guitars from the Gibson Golden Era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything from reverse-engineering the original formula of nitrocellulose lacquer used during the 50s and 60s, to 3D-scanning original instruments from the era, to identifying where and how these iconic guitars acquire wear and tear. The Murphy Lab team has thought through every element of these instruments so that when you open the case, your Murphy Lab will look, feel, and sound like an heirloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1959 Les Paul Standard isn't so much a tribute as it is an exact clone of the original. Using modern tech to replicate the exact dimensions and construction of its components, every conceivable element of the original has been recreated here. Featuring a slightly thinner neck and larger frets than a 1958, the subtle differences end there as the 1959 Standard's flamed maple top adds visual depth and complexity to the guitar's iconic sunburst finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChuck Levin's was founded in 1958 and saw its early successes while the original versions of these Murphy Lab Les Pauls were leaving Gibson's shop. Like the Gibson Les Paul, Chuck Levin's has endured and thrived for decades since and become a legend to many musicians. To celebrate our 65th Anniversary and our shared history with Gibson Guitars, Chuck Levin's has partnered with the Gibson Murphy Lab to bring you a collection of amazing instruments, built just like they were back when Chuck Levin's was just a small music shop in the middle of DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUltra Light Aging\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Murphy Lab's Ultra Light aging produces a guitar that looks and feels like an heirloom instrument that has been well cared for, while still having that unmistakable patina that only comes with age. Murphy Lab artisans go in with a subtle touch, introducing minimal lacquer checking along with Vintage Original Sheen (VOS) hardware and hand-rolled fingerboard binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Material: Highly Figured, Hand Picked 2-Piece Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: 1pc Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.687\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd of Board Width: 2.24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Reissue Mother of Pearl Trapezoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: Reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Top: .09 Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: .04 Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Material: Nickel Aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machine Heads: Kluson Reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: ABR-1 Non Wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Light Weight w\/Long Stud Anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJackplate: True Historic Reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Cover: True Historic From Advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: True Historic R9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: True Historic Gold Top Hats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Rings: True Historic Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: True Historic Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Washer: True Historic Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackplates: 2019 Reissue + CS Medallion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custombucker Alnico 3 (Unpotted); Zebra Coils under covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custombucker Alnico 3 (Unpotted); Zebra Coils under covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-Way Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper-in-Oil Capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage Taper Potentiometers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Royal Tea Burst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial: #92207\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: VOS-GWW Aged Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra Backplate in Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive COA for Chuck Levin's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nManufacturer: Gibson\u003cbr\u003eModel: LPR59PSL17638\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I681250-N-92207-0-WHXD\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 711106089379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaryland, Virginia, and Washington DC's legendary music shop.
