Pre-Owned Epiphone '59 Les Paul - Tobacco Sunburst with Hard Shell Case

The Epiphone '59 Les Paul: Vintage Reissue Mojo with Real-World Character

Vintage-style construction with Custom Shop collaboration

The Pre-Owned Epiphone '59 Les Paul in Tobacco Sunburst brings together heritage-inspired design and top-tier craftsmanship, offering players a taste of vintage Les Paul tone and feel—at a fraction of the price of a Gibson original. Crafted in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop, this guitar features a mahogany body topped with maple and a AAA flame maple veneer, capturing the look and resonance of a late-50s classic.

Authentic '59 neck profile and premium hardware

A one-piece mahogany neck with a long tenon and a rounded medium C profile ensures that this Les Paul plays just like the golden-era originals. The VOS (Vintage Original Sheen) finish and the open-book R9-style headstock contribute to the guitar’s vintage aesthetics. From the Gibson Historic Reissue Stop Bar tailpiece to the AMB-1 bridge and Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, every hardware element is dialed in for tone, tuning stability, and period-correct looks.

Custombucker pickups and classic electronics

Loaded with Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, CTS pots, Mallory capacitors, and 50s-style wiring, this guitar delivers a rich, dynamic tonal range with incredible warmth and clarity. Whether you’re chasing crisp cleans, creamy leads, or thick vintage crunch, this Les Paul covers the spectrum with ease and style. The Switchcraft selector switch and output jack offer a durable, reliable signal path that’s gig-ready and stage-tested.

Honest wear from real-world play

This guitar isn’t just built to vintage spec—it’s seen some real-world use too. Cosmetic wear includes light scratches beneath the toggle switch, visible play wear on all plastic components, and scratches under the bottom control knobs. On the back of the guitar, you’ll find additional surface scratches, including some on the back of the neck near the headstock joint, affecting both the bass and treble sides. The headstock itself shows further signs of use, with more scratches on the rear. All cosmetic damage is documented in the listing photos, please reach out if you would like any additional photos. None of these affect the guitar’s structural integrity or performance, this guitar has been played, loved, and is ready for its next chapter.

Ready to inspire in studio or on stage

Despite the cosmetic wear, this Epiphone '59 Les Paul remains a rock-solid performer, with all its original hardware and electronics functioning as they should. It ships in a hard shell case with a brown exterior, pink interior, and custom "Inspired by Gibson" graphics—making it an excellent value for players who want vintage styling, pro-level tone, and the character of a guitar that’s been out in the world making music.
