Gibson launches Murphy Lab 1959 Les Paul Standard limited run reissues with Brazilian rosewood 'boards and Tom Murphy exclusive finishes – in a vintage market running hot, is $20k good value?

Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Limited Edition Murphy Lab Aged With Brazilian Rosewood Cherry in Murphy Burst.

Gibson has turned over a consignment of Brazilian rosewood from the archive to Tom Murphy for a special run of six stunning 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard reissues, each aged in the Murphy Lab with six finishes developed by the man himself.

A US-exclusive, owing to CITES regulations, and limited to 50 units of each model, these are described by Gibson as “the ultimate 1959 Les Paul Standard reissues”, and at $19,999, you would hope so.
