Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Outfit Inspired by Gibson Custom, Iced Tea Burst

Full Description

Exceptional tonal quality

The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Outfit boasts an exceptional sound profile, thanks to its Gibson USA CustomBucker pickups. These pickups are renowned for their ability to replicate the 'PAF' tones characteristic of vintage Les Pauls from the late 1950s. This precise engineering ensures that each note is rich with harmonic depth and clarity, making this guitar an ideal choice for musicians seeking a truly authentic sound.

Vintage-inspired construction

This guitar mirrors the traditional construction methods of the iconic 1959 models. It features a solid mahogany body with a maple top and AAA flame maple veneer, providing not only visual beauty but also contributing to the guitar's warm and resonant sound. The use of authentic materials and techniques in its construction allows for an experience that closely mimics playing a well-preserved vintage instrument.

Classic playability

The neck of the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard is shaped to the period-correct '50s profile, offering both comfort and a historic playing experience. This rounded medium C shape fits naturally in the hand, facilitating ease of play across genres from blues to rock. Combined with a laurel fingerboard and traditional fret spacing, this guitar allows for effortless fretting and a smooth, enjoyable play experience.

Attention to detail

Every aspect of the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard reflects a meticulous attention to detail. From its vintage original sheen finish to the cream-coloured pickguard, the aesthetic elements are carefully chosen to echo the style of the 1959 era. Moreover, the inclusion of a vintage-style hard case not only ensures the guitar’s protection but also enhances its collectability and appeal to vintage enthusiasts.
