Compact Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select 1958 Les Paul Standard All Ebony Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged (331) Solution [Gkxa35zE]

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select 1958 Les Paul Standard All Ebony Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged is a rare and distinctive take on the iconic '58 Les Paul, built exclusively for select dealers. This limited-run model stands out visually and sonically with its ultra-light aged ebony finish applied by the Murphy Lab and a deep, all-black aesthetic that includes a matching ebony-tinted back, neck, and headstock.

Crafted with a 1-piece lightweight solid mahogany body and a 2-piece plain maple top joined with hide glue, the guitar maintains vintage-accurate construction techniques for exceptional resonance and sustain. The 1950s Chunky D-shape neck carve (.900" at the 1st fret, 1.000" at the 12th) feels substantial in hand and is paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard featuring aged trapezoid inlays and tortoise side dots for added vintage appeal.

Under the hood, it’s powered by dual covered Custombuckers with CTS 500K audio taper pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, delivering classic PAF-style tone with modern clarity and sensitivity. The hardware includes a no-wire ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum stop bar, aged nickel plating, and Kluson single-line, single-ring tuners — all contributing to a refined yet authentically vintage feel.

From its Holly headstock veneer and amber Catalin switch tip to its cream binding and Laminated Cellulose Acetate Butyrate pickguard, every detail has been considered and aged to perfection. This is more than a guitar — it's a collector-grade instrument with professional pedigree and unmistakable attitude, built for serious players and vintage Les Paul aficionados alike.
