Product Description
Made in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop, Epiphone's 1959 Les Paul Standard is a stunning recreation of what is considered as the “rare vintage classic”.
The guitar has been made to authentic specifications that include a Mahogany body with a Maple top with a stunning AAA flame Maple veneer, a one-piece Mahagony'59 round, medium C neck profile, a Gibson-style “Open Book” R9 headstock shape, VOS (Vintage Original Sheen) finish & Gibson Custombucker humbuckers.
Key Features
- 1959 Rounded Medium C Neck – Authentic to its time, the rounded C Neck is very comfortable to play for all hand sizes.
- Stunning Finish – With the Vintage Original Sheen, this guitar has that authentic Les Paul finish that is timeless.
- Epiphone Hardshell Case – This guitar comes with a hard case to protect the guitar in style.
Classic Construction
The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard adheres to Gibson's signature all-Mahogany guitar construction, guaranteeing a thick and harmonically-rich sound with piano-like sustain. To give their model the truly high-end aesthetic that original '59s exert, Epiphone has adorned its body with a carved Hard Maple cap featuring a gorgeous AAA Figured Maple veneer.
Time-Honoured '59 Neck Profile
The neck is the most essential part of any guitar when it comes to playability, which is why Epiphone has accurately replicated the acclaimed '59 rounded "C" neck profile. Providing optimal comfort, this vintage-like neck shape will take you back in time to the golden era of electric guitar production! An Indian Laurel fingerboard offers a smooth touch under the fingers too, with medium jumbo frets ensuring a controllable feel for string bends and vibrato.
Gibson USA BurstBucker Pickups
Genuine Gibson USA pickups are almost never fitted in Epiphone guitars, but the 1959 Les Paul Standard is a rare exception. Equipped with Custombucker humbuckers in its neck and bridge positions respectively, the Epiphone '59 Les Paul has a premium voice that recaptures the nostalgic tones of yesteryear.
