The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Washed Bourbon Burst

The 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard stands out as one of the most sought-after and valuable vintage guitars in the world. With its rich history, this model has earned favor among legendary players such as Peter Green, Kirk Hammett, and Joe Bonamassa. Although the 1959 Les Paul Standard shares similarities with the 1960 model that followed, several key differences distinctly set them apart. Notably, many players prefer the 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile over the slimmer SlimTaper profile found on the 1960 version.

In response to the demand for iconic guitars, Epiphone proudly presents the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue.

For instance, it features a one-piece mahogany neck with a long tenon joint that enhances stability and sustain.

Additionally, its authentic 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile and bound rosewood fretboard ensure a familiar playing experience. Moreover, additional details include mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone headstock logo, and the phrase “Les Paul Model” elegantly silkscreened in gold on the iconic open book headstock.

Even the side dot markers are sized and positioned accurately, just like vintage originals. The body, crafted from genuine mahogany and topped with a stunning AAA flamed maple veneer, showcases a classic appeal that is sure to attract attention.

Top-Tier Electronics for Outstanding Performance

In fact, these pickups are hand-wired to CTS potentiometers, Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, a reliable Switchcraft pickup selector toggle switch, and a quarter-inch output jack.

The Vintage Gloss finish not only lends the guitar a vintage appearance but also avoids an overly aged look. Furthermore, the nickel hardware, including Epiphone Deluxe Single Ring Keystone button tuners, adds a touch of elegance. For added convenience, a brown hardshell case featuring Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics and a plush pink interior is included.

This makes the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue the ideal choice for players who desire the classic appeal of the revered 1959 Les Paul Standard without the prohibitive price tag.
