Product Description
The 1959 Les Paul Standard is the stuff of guitar legend. It’s the “holy grail” instrument associated with iconic players, jaw-dropping prices and some of the most celebrated tones ever recorded. This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue brings that golden-era vibe within reach, serving up classic looks, authentic feel and stage-ready performance without the eye-watering vintage price tag.
Proper ’59 feel
A big part of the ’59 appeal is the neck, and this exquisite reissue really leans into it. The one-piece Mahogany neck features a long neck tenon for excellent stability and sustain, while the 1959 rounded medium “C” profile gives you a substantial feel in the hand — perfect if you prefer a fuller carve over a slimmer ‘60s profile. Add in the bound Rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, and you’ve got a playing experience that feels every bit as classy as it looks.
Classic “Burst” mojo
The solid Mahogany body is topped with a carved Maple cap and a stunning AAA flamed Maple veneer, giving you that legendary Les Paul silhouette with plenty of flair. Details like the aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo, gold “Les Paul Model” silkscreen, Gibson-style open-book headstock and correctly styled side dot markers all help capture the spirit of those sought-after originals.
Gibson USA Custombuckers
Plug in and you’ll hear a pair of USA Gibson Custombucker humbuckers loaded with Alnico 3 magnets, delivering the kind of open, dynamic and vintage-voiced Les Paul sound players love. They’re hand-wired to premium CTS pots, Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors and Switchcraft components, so your controls feel dependable and ready for everything from warm blues to full-throttle rock.
Vintage gloss finish & included case
The old-school finish gives this guitar a tastefully aged look straight out of the box, while nickel hardware and Epiphone Deluxe tuners complete the period-correct vibe. Better still, it comes supplied with a brown Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case with a plush pink interior — great for keeping your new pride and joy safe on the road, in the studio or at home.
