Epiphone - 1959 Les Paul Standard Factory Burst Inspired by Gibson Custom
These models in stock may be of interest to you:
To bring you a prestige instrument, Epiphone has teamed up with the luthiers at Gibson USA to create the "Inspired by Gibson" series. This Les Paul Standard is a vibrant tribute to the 1959 models, using the same components: a mahogany body topped by a Maple top with AAA Flamed Maple veneer, a mahogany neck in 1959 Medium Round format and, above all, Gibson USA Custombucker pickups!
Presentation
The idea is simple: to produce models that pay as faithful a tribute as possible to the legendary guitars of the 50s and 60s, with modern build quality and a super-reasonable budget.
This Les Paul Standard 1959 is a perfect example!
It features a mahogany body with a Maple neck overlaid with a beautiful AAA Flamed Maple veneer. The glued Long Tenon neck is made from one piece of mahogany, with a 1959 Rounded Medium C profile to match the vintage models.
The sound is solid, with a touch of brilliance, very Rock n' Roll at heart, complemented by great playing comfort thanks to the full, resonant neck.
In addition to its hand-wiring (typical of the 50s) and quality components (Mallory capacitors and CTS potentiometers, among others), this beauty is fitted with Gibson USA Custombucker pickups in Alnico III, for an even more authentic sound.
And you'll be able to move this Les Paul in complete safety thanks to its pink-infused Flight Brown, typical of the old flight cases of yesteryear.
