Some guitars are built to be played.
Others are built to be collected.
A select few become legends.
Straight from the private vault of Global Music Imports comes this extraordinary 2007 Gibson Custom Shop Tom Murphy Aged 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue (R9)
A guitar from an era many collectors consider to be one of the golden periods of Gibson's Historic Reissue program.
Hand-aged by the legendary Tom Murphy himself, this instrument captures the look, feel, and soul of an original 1959 Burst with a level of authenticity that helped establish Murphy as the benchmark for aged guitars worldwide.
The moment you open the case, you are transported back to the late 1950s. Every finish check, every subtle wear mark, every detail has been painstakingly recreated to deliver the appearance and feel of a well-loved vintage original—without the seven-figure price tag of an authentic Burst.
The 1959 Les Paul is widely regarded as the most desirable electric guitar ever produced. Its combination of figured maple top, mahogany body, long tenon neck construction, and legendary PAF-inspired pickups has defined the sound of countless iconic recordings.
This 2007 Murphy Aged R9 represents one of the most sought-after versions of that formula:
These guitars continue to become increasingly difficult to source, particularly examples that remain complete and original.
This guitar presents exactly as intended by Tom Murphy's aging process. The ageing, finish checking, and wear patterns are factory-original and part of the instrument's authenticity.
It has been carefully preserved and remains an outstanding example for the player, collector, or investor seeking a significant Gibson Custom Shop piece.
Included with the guitar:
Finding a Murphy-aged R9 from this period is rare.
Finding one complete with all original case candy and documentation is becoming increasingly uncommon.
At Global Music Imports, we are fortunate to handle some of the world's finest instruments. Most never make it to public sale.
This guitar is one of those special pieces. THis guitar was custom ordered for a high end collector who trusted the national sales manager at the time to hand select the top. The guitar has been hidden away all these years only now for the 1st time to come to market to make way for a much larger purchase.
A genuine collector-grade Tom Murphy-aged R9 that embodies everything players and collectors chase in a Historic Les Paul—tone, feel, provenance, rarity, and undeniable visual appeal.
Whether you're looking for a centrepiece for your collection, a future heirloom, or simply one of the finest Les Pauls Gibson has produced in the modern era, this is an instrument that deserves serious consideration.
Opportunities to acquire a complete 2007 Tom Murphy Aged R9 are becoming increasingly rare. Once sold, finding another of this calibre may take years—not weeks.
