However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Light Aged in Royal Teaburst is as close as it gets to owning a true late '50s original, combining obsessive historical accuracy with world-class craftsmanship. Every detail, from the carved figured maple top to the lightweight one-piece mahogany body, is designed to recreate the tone, feel, and response of a genuine '59. The Murphy Lab light ageing treatment adds subtle wear and patina, giving the guitar the look and feel of a well-preserved vintage instrument without heavy distressing.
A solid mahogany neck shaped to a 50s Rounded Medium C profile delivers a substantial yet comfortable grip, paired with an Indian rosewood fretboard for warmth and smooth playability. The long tenon neck joint and hide glue construction enhance resonance and sustain, while Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups provide authentic PAF-style tone with clarity and depth. Hand-wired electronics with CTS pots and paper-in-oil capacitors complete the vintage-correct setup, making this a highly expressive instrument built for serious players and collectors alike.

The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish is designed to replicate decades of gentle use, giving the guitar a naturally worn appearance without excessive wear. Subtle lacquer checking, lightly aged hardware, and softened edges create a realistic vintage feel that enhances the overall playing experience. This process adds visual character and contributes to the broken-in feel, making the instrument familiar and comfortable from the moment you pick it up. It’s a refined approach to ageing that balances authenticity with elegance.
The Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups are engineered to capture the tonal qualities of original late '50s PAF humbuckers. They deliver a balanced output with warm lows, rich mids, and clear, singing highs, making them highly responsive to picking dynamics and volume changes. Whether played clean or pushed into overdrive, they retain clarity and definition, allowing for expressive playing across a wide range of styles. Hand-wired with CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, the electronics provide smooth, precise control over your tone.
The combination of a two-piece figured maple top and a one-piece lightweight mahogany body creates the classic Les Paul tonal profile, with strong sustain, rich harmonics, and excellent balance. The hide glue construction and long tenon neck joint maximise resonance and transfer of vibration between components, contributing to the guitar’s lively response. Every element is carefully chosen and crafted to reflect the build methods of the original late '50s instruments, resulting in a tone that feels both authentic and inspiring.
This reissue features period-correct hardware and detailing throughout, from the ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar to the Kluson tuning machines and butyrate plastics. These components complete the vintage aesthetic while playing a role in the guitar’s tonal response and feel. The Royal Teaburst finish highlights the figured maple top beautifully, while the included Lifton reissue case and certificate of authenticity complete the package. It’s a faithful recreation built to satisfy even the most discerning players.
