These Gibson Custom Shop Kirk Hammett Greeny Murphy Lab models are the new “affordable” version of the iconic 1959 Les Paul Standard.  The previous limited-run models were $50k a piece and so this one could be deemed a bargain.

Specifications

Yes, it is yet another recreation of a 1959 Les Paul Standard and it has had the Murphy Lab Aged treatment, so there is a huge markup on the price.

It features what Gibson describes as a lightweight mahogany body with a figured maple top.  And it has a custom Greeny profile mahogany neck paired with an Indian Rosewood fretboard.

The latter, which, costs a lot less than Brazilian Rosewood is also easy to transport around the world and needs no extra paperwork.

Pickups

The pickups are a Custom Greeny Bucker with a flipped Alnico 2 magnet that is reverse mounted in the neck position and a matching Custom Greeny Bucker Alnico 2 in the bridge position.

The latest version also comes with the modern-day Sperzel tuners, as used by Kirk Hammett.

It comes in a Brown/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch case, a Certificate of Authenticity and a Gibson Custom Shop Switch Plate Medallion.

MSRP – USD 19,999.00

Standard Coming Soon

Don’t forget that Gibson also has a non-aged standard version of Greeny coming later this year. Which should be a lot cheaper than this $20k recreation.

MSRP – TBC
