This Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Labs 1956 Les Paul Standard Reissue Ultra Light Aged in Double Gold weighs in at 9 lbs. Constructed from mahogany, maple, and rosewood, then loaded with a pair of Gibson P-90 Humbuckers, the 1956 reissue of the Les Paul is truly authentic! Fact! The 56 Les Paul is the only LP with a 2 piece bridge and P-90 pickups. Read on to learn more!

A pair of Custom Wound Gibson Soapbar P90 pickups come loaded in the 1956 Les Paul Goldtop. Each pickup has its own volume and tone control and is accessible via the 3-way pickup selector switch.

The neck is made from 1 piece of mahogany and then topped with a rosewood fingerboard. The fingerboard is bound and carries a 12" fingerboard radius. 22 Narrow Tall frets give you a tall surface to work with so big bends and vibrato are a breeze. A Long Neck Tenon was used which certainly adds to the sustain and stability this guitar provides. 24.75" scale length, 1.69" nut width, and a nylon nut round out the important details.

The body is made from a single piece of mahogany and then topped with a 2 piece, plain maple top. The body is constructed with hide glue offering you supreme resonance. The woods chosen are lightweight, vibrant, and resonant. This Les Paul weighs 9 lbs without being chambered or weight relieved is pretty good by 2023 standards.

From Gibson.com...
"1956 was the only full year in which the Les Paul model featured the powerful P-90 pickups and the adjustable ABR-1 bridge setup, a combination that allowed the Les Paul model to intonate, sustain, and thrill like never before. This Gibson Custom Shop '56 Reissue captures the look, feel, and searing sound of an original 1956 Les Paul Goldtop in exhaustive detail, featuring all solid woods, vintage-accurate gold paint, authentic replica parts, Historic narrow/tall frets, and hot hide glue construction."
