Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar - Tobacco Burst VOS

Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar - Tobacco Burst VOS

The 1959 Les Paul represents a landmark year for the Gibson company as well as fans of great rock ’n’ roll. Now, you can own an extremely authentic vintage re-creation with the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue electric guitar. This is hardly your typical Epiphone, as it boasts numerous vintage-inspired perks, from Gibson CustomBucker pickups to hardware contributed by Gibson Custom Shop that replicates vintage specs at the following points: the tuning machines, the pickguard, the binding, and the VOS finish. The body is made from solid mahogany and topped with AAA flame maple to guarantee a thoroughbred sound with strong foundations and sweet, soaring highs. Two vintage-voiced CustomBucker pickups deliver open, organic, and old-school tones with remarkable fidelity. And the performance is out of this world! Devotees of the Les Paul here have noted the authenticity of the ‘50s-style wiring onboard and the period-correct “long” neck tenon, which improves durability and sustain. The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is your key to revisiting the past or engineering the next great rock ’n’ roll revolution — the choice is yours!

The quintessential Les Paul formula

Nothing compares to the power, sustain, and brilliance of a mahogany body topped with maple! The 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue utilizes timeless, traditional Les Paul tonewoods with a solid mahogany body and neck, plus a AAA flame maple top. The result is a responsive sound and mellow clean tones that morph into thick, gargantuan power when paired with a dirty amp. The Les Paul Standard Reissue’s smooth mahogany neck features a ‘59-style “Rounded C” profile, topped with a 24.75-inch scale laurel fingerboard for welcoming playability, and the neck is further enhanced with a long neck tenon that extends slightly into the body for added sustain and improved durability.

CustomBucker pickups with upgraded wiring

Every part of the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue’s electronics is built for dead-on vintage accuracy. Of course, it’s next to impossible to find genuine vintage PAF pickups (even for Gibson); however, this Les Paul sports two unpotted Gibson CustomBucker pickups, the most faithful substitute you can find. The CustomBucker is the most historically accurate PAF copy ever, with an open tone and incredible dynamic response that simply must be heard. Epiphone also added premium wiring components, including a Switchcraft jack, CTS potentiometers, and Mallory capacitors, for vintage-style performance that’s sure to please.

Bound for glory

If you love deluxe looks at a phenomenal price, then this Les Paul is the guitar for you! Epiphone upgraded this Les Paul’s body and fingerboard with the help of Gibson Custom Shop. Each portion is framed by tasteful binding, and the fingerboard reels in the eyes with traditional trapezoid inlays. Lastly, top-tier hardware seals the deal, including top hat control knobs that feature old-school nickel pointers as well as a Historic Reissue tailpiece from Gibson Custom Shop.
