Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Electric Guitar in Deep Cherry Sunburst

The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic electric guitar designs in history. As part of Epiphone's premium 'Inspired by Gibson Custom Collection', this instrument captures the essence of the legendary 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, making that classic tone and aesthetic accessible to a wider range of players. It features the quintessential single-cutaway solid body shape that has been central to countless genres, from blues and jazz to rock and metal, for decades. This guitar is built with a foundation of authentic tonewoods, combining a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top finished with a AAA flamed maple veneer, all contributing to its powerful sustain and resonant character. The set mahogany neck features a comfortable 1959 Rounded Medium 'C' profile and a dark rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays. Its most significant features are the genuine USA-made Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups, which are historically accurate reproductions of the famed 'Patent Applied For' (PAF) units, delivering articulate highs, sweet mids, and warm, singing lead tones. The vintage-correct hardware includes an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, a historical aluminium tailpiece, CTS potentiometers with 'bumblebee' paper-in-oil capacitors, and single-ring keystone tuners, all finished in nickel. The guitar is an excellent choice for players at any stage who seek the authentic look, feel, and sound of a vintage Les Paul without the associated custom shop price. It arrives ready to play, complete with a protective hardshell case, making it a practical and reliable workhorse for studio recording, live performance, or serious home practice. Its versatile voice suits everything from clean, jazzy chords to high-gain riffing, offering a genuine piece of guitar history that is built to inspire.
