對於真正的 Gibson 收藏家而言，’59 Les Paul 不僅是一個型號，更是一種對結他黃金時代的信仰。

這支並不是一般的 Murphy Lab 系列，而是由 Custom Shop 傳奇大師 Tom Murphy 親自參與木料挑選、手工上漆及舊化處理的超級限量版本。由頂級代理商直接於工廠親手挑選，其木紋細密度與琴身重量平衡，皆遠超一般的標準版 。從琴面弧度的細微雕琢到每一道漆面的裂紋，都融入了 Murphy 對「完美復刻」的執著，展現出當今工業化生產無法企及的溫度與質感。

另外，這把結他的塗裝視覺，忠實還原了被譽為「Les Paul 聖經」之稱的《Beauty Of The Burst》中，書內記載的第一把 "First Standard"。這不僅是書中的藝術品，更是 Guns N' Roses 傳奇結他手 Slash 私人收藏並經常於現場演出的同款經典配色。當你撥動琴弦，彷彿能透過指尖感受到搖滾樂史的重量。

全球僅限量生產 22 把。目前市面上亦非常罕見，這是難得入手頂級收藏版的機會。隨著 Murphy Lab 系列的推出，早期這類由 Tom Murphy 本人親自操刀漆面與舊化的 True Historic 規格作品，在中古市場中備受用家及收藏家關注及追捧。

這不僅是一把結他，更是一段可以被彈奏、被傳承的搖滾歷史。對於追求極致的收藏家來說，這就是那把尋覓已久的「終極 Les Paul」。

Allow me to present this exceptional guitar, a limited edition custom model specially commissioned by Gibson's top-tier agents. Handpicked by experts directly at the factory, this guitar sets the bar high with its meticulous wood selection criteria, resulting in a level of wood grain detail and overall weight that surpasses the standard R9 models. One standout feature is the meticulous aging and finishing process undertaken by the renowned Custom Shop master, Tom Murphy. From the curvature of the top to every minute detail, Murphy's touch sets this guitar apart, a rarity even among Gibson's other limited editions. His dedicated attention to detail underscores his commitment to achieving the pinnacle of excellence and perfection in this reissue.

Upon laying eyes on this R9 model, many may experience a sense of familiar. Its finish is a faithful recreation of the iconic 'Beauty Of The Burst' Les Paul, as documented in the renowned Gibson Les Paul bible, being the very first 'First Standard' Les Paul described within. This particular guitar holds a special place in the personal collection and regular usage of legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash.

Given its limited availability of only 22 units, with this being the sole piece on the market, the rarity of this model is unmistakable. Furthermore, with the introduction of the Murphy Lab series, the earlier True Historic series featuring Tom Murphy's finishes and aging techniques have become increasingly scarce. Coupled with its reimagined classic 'First Standard' Les Paul Finish, this guitar's collectibility is greatly enhanced with its rich history and storytelling elements.
