Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Royal Teaburst meets a more restrained Murphy Lab treatment on this 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue. The Light Aged finish includes dings, pick trails, finish flaking, lacquer checking and softened edges, while retaining the feel of a guitar that has been cared for. Its lightweight mahogany body, two-piece figured maple top, mahogany 1959 Medium C neck and rosewood fingerboard form the specified build. Two CustomBuckers run through a 3-way switch, with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Players who want a 1959 Les Paul reissue with visible but less intensive aged finish treatment.

  • Owners seeking a reissue supplied with a certificate of authenticity and 5-latch hardshell case.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who want a pristine finish without dings, pick trails, flaking, or lacquer checking.
  • Those seeking the more extensive wear of the Heavy Aged version.
  • Left-handed players.
