Gibson Custom '59 Les Paul Standard P-90s Wide Tomato Burst Bigsby Ultra Light Aged

Stunning Ultra Light Aged Murphy Lab ’59 Les Paul Standard in breathtaking Wide Tomato Burst! With P90s, Bigsby B7, and hand-selected top for Dijkmans Guitars!

This Gibson Custom Shop Made to Measure ’59 Les Paul Standard is a tribute to one of the most iconic guitars ever built, presented in a particularly distinctive and rare configuration. Specially curated for Dijkmans Guitars, this instrument combines the soul of a vintage Burst with the highest level of modern Custom Shop craftsmanship.

The guitar features the exclusive Wide Tomato Burst finish, a color that immediately stands out with its rich, warm red hues and broad burst transition. The finish displays a vibrant mix of deep tomato-red nuances and warm amber tones, creating a distinct vintage appearance with significant visual impact and depth.

The Ultra Light Aging from the Murphy Lab gives this guitar an extremely subtle played-in character. Very fine lacquer checking, a touch of patina on the hardware, and minimal signs of use ensure an authentic vintage look, while the guitar maintains its almost-new condition. The result is an instrument that radiates the charm of an old Burst, with a fresh and carefully preserved appearance.

What makes this particular model extra special is its configuration with P90 pickups. These single-coil elements deliver an open, raw, and extremely dynamic sound, with a pronounced midrange bite, clear articulation, and a direct response that reacts perfectly to your attack. From sparkling clean to gritty overdrive — this guitar exudes character.

Additionally, this ’59 Standard is equipped with a Bigsby B7 vibrato tailpiece, which not only adds a beautiful vintage touch visually but also provides subtle, musical vibrato effects. The Bigsby system gives the guitar an extra dimension in expression, without compromising stability and playability.

The hand-selected maple top, chosen by Dijkmans Guitars in close collaboration with Tom Fowle of the Murphy Lab, displays a vibrant and harmonious flame. The figuring is rich and dynamic, perfectly complementing the powerful character of the Wide Tomato Burst finish.

Tonally, this ’59 Standard offers a unique twist on the classic Les Paul sound: open, resonant, and exceptionally expressive. The combination of P90s and the solid mahogany/maple construction creates a rich, layered tone with a powerful midrange, sparkling highs, and a direct, singing sustain.

This is not a replica, but a carefully curated interpretation of a legendary instrument — with a distinctive character. A Made to Measure ’59 Les Paul Standard for the purist, the collector, and the player seeking something truly special. Exclusively curated for Dijkmans Guitars.
