Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Aged Dark Burst
Gibson's Custom Shop has gone to great lengths to clone the original 1959 Les Paul, including exact dimensions, authentic materials and accurate colors. Gibson refers to these recreations as, "the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago." And they've now put those efforts into offering an even more affordable way to achieve a 1959 Les Paul with Epiphone.
Made in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop, the Limited Edition 1959 Les Paul Standard is Epiphone's stunning recreation of the rare vintage classic. Featuring a mahogany body with a maple top with a AAA figured maple veneer, comfortable 1959 hand-rolled neck profile with long neck tenon, aged finish, Gibson USA BurstBucker 2 & 3 humbucking pickups, that deliver classic, ballsy Les Paul tone, along with 50s era wiring, and Mallory capacitors. A Vintage-style brown case is included.
