Description
The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue from the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson lineup is ideal for players seeking classic vintage tone and feel without the steep vintage price. Made in collaboration with Gibson Custom, this model delivers authentic '59 Les Paul style and performance, featuring the iconic design loved by legends like Peter Green, Kirk Hammett, and Joe Bonamassa. It's a standout choice for intermediate to professional musicians who want that unmistakable old-school Les Paul character.
Built with a one-piece mahogany neck and long neck tenon for added sustain and stability, it sports a historically accurate Rounded Medium C neck profile for a substantial, comfortable grip. The AAA flamed maple veneer over a carved maple cap, Gibson USA Custombucker pickups with Alnico 3 magnets, and vintage-correct wiring with CTS pots and Bumblebee capacitors bring vintage tone straight into your hands. Nickel hardware, a rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays, and a Gibson-style "open book" headstock complete the classic look.
With a smooth Vintage Gloss finish, reliable Epiphone Deluxe tuners, and a brown hard shell case included, this Les Paul is ready for the stage or studio. We love how Epiphone has captured the spirit of the original '59 in a way that's truly accessible; it's a guitar that feels like an heirloom right out of the case and is ready to deliver night after night.
