A rare and legendary guitar model, limited to only 100 pieces worldwide, this is a limited aged reissue released by Gibson Custom in 2009. It is one of the very few signature guitars personally aged by Gibson’s legendary luthier, Tom Murphy. This model faithfully recreates the 1959 Les Paul Standard once owned by blues legend Michael Bloomfield. The original guitar was tragically lost sometime between 1974 and 1975 and its whereabouts remain a mystery to this day.
In 2009, Gibson launched this reissue model through the dedication of the Custom Shop team. By referencing hundreds of historical photos of the original guitar and under the meticulous craftsmanship of Tom Murphy himself, every component and sign of wear was authentically recreated to perfection, reviving this legend once more. The body features carefully selected mahogany, a rosewood fingerboard, 50s neck profile, Custombucker #1 and #3 pickups, Grover Kidney tuners, and a highly figured 5A-grade maple top that closely resembles the original.
These early aged signature reissues personally crafted by Tom Murphy have long been considered highly collectible and valuable. Since 2021, the Murphy Lab series is no longer aged by Tom Murphy himself. Over the past decade, signature reissues made by Tom Murphy for artists such as Slash, Jimmy Page, and Joe Perry have not only retained their value but have seen their market prices double or even triple.

From Gibson:
History
The Gibson Les Paul Standard became one of the most revered electric blues guitars of all time during the late 1960s and early '70s, and Bloomfield's Les Paul became an iconic example of this seminal instrument in the process. After soaking up the work of countless blues originators in his hometown of Chicago — Muddy Waters, Magic Sam and Howlin' Wolf among them — Michael Bloomfield made his mark with The Butterfield Blues Band, The Electric Flag, Bob Dylan (most notably on Dylan's classic Highway 61 Revisited), and the Super Sessions album with Al Kooper and Stephen Stills, which is probably the most successful recording of Bloomfield's career. Along the way, a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard became the key to his signature sound.
Recreating a legend
After careful study of existing records and photographs of Bloomfield's original guitar, and extensive consultation with the Bloomfield estate, Gibson Custom has produced an intricately crafted recreation of this hallowed '59 Les Paul. Constructional details include a carved figured maple top, solid non-weight relieved mahogany back, thin toggle-switch washer and jack plate, one-piece mahogany neck with long neck tenon, rounded period-correct '59 neck profile, and Grover kidney-button tuners — a modification that was made to the Les Paul by Dan Erlewine before Bloomfield acquired it.
The electronics, too, seek to capture all the vibe and tone of Bloomfield's original guitar, with a Gibson Burstbucker 1 in the neck position, a Burstbucker 2 in the bridge position, CTS potentiometers and "bumble bee" capacitors. Gibson Burstbuckers are made with unpolished Alnico II magnets and unpotted coils that are wound to slightly different numbers of turns — just like the originals — to give the pickups a little more edge and bite.
Finish
The Michael Bloomfield 1959 Les Paul Standards comes dressed in a finish dubbed the "Bloomfield Burst," which faithfully captures the beauty of the blues artist's own legendary guitar. Other standard appointments include single-ply creme binding around the body and the fingerboard, all nickel hardware, an ABR-1 bridge and lightweight stopbar tailpiece and original holly headstock veneer. Each guitar also comes with a standard Gibson Custom case silkscreened with Bloomfield's signature, a custom care kit and certificate of authenticity.
