Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Golden Poppy Burst with Hardshell Case
The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue: A Legend Back to Life
Classic 1959 Les Paul Tone
There is a reason the 1959 Les Paul remains such a big deal. This reissue pairs a solid mahogany body and neck with an AAA flame maple top for the combination of warmth, sustain, clarity, and bite that made this design legendary. Clean, it is responsive and articulate. Add some gain and it has the thickness and roar players expect from a great Les Paul.
Gibson CustomBucker Pickups
A pair of unpotted Gibson CustomBucker humbuckers gives this guitar its vintage voiced personality. Designed for PAF style response, they deliver an open, organic sound with plenty of dynamic range. The electronics stay equally serious with 50s style wiring, CTS potentiometers, Mallory 150 capacitors, a Switchcraft toggle, and a Switchcraft output jack.
1959 Rounded C Mahogany Neck
The mahogany neck uses a substantial 1959 Rounded C profile with a rosewood fingerboard and 22 frets. A long neck tenon extends into the body for added durability and sustain, while the 24.75 inch scale keeps the familiar Les Paul feel under your fingers.
Vintage Inspired Les Paul Details
Binding on the body and fingerboard, mother of pearl trapezoid inlays, and a Gibson 59 style headstock give this guitar the right visual vocabulary. Hardware includes an ABR 1 bridge, Gibson Custom Shop Historic Reissue stop bar, Epiphone DLX tuners, and traditional top hat controls with nickel pointers.
Inspired by Gibson Custom Construction
This model brings Epiphone and Gibson Custom together for a detailed re creation of a historic electric guitar. From the tonewoods and long neck tenon to the pickups, electronics, and hardware, the details are focused squarely on delivering the character of a 1959 Les Paul Standard.
